Dawson was 10x better than OMac is

Dawson was close to one of the worst footballers I ever saw, period! so your post is telling!

    OMacs worth about a token pick around the sixties if someone wants him. he could be a target for a rebuilding team as a full back for a year or two while they develop a kid to ultimately replace him.

    cant see anyone taking him.  Delisted.....

    I guarantee all of you Omac will be delisted and will be playing local football next year, potentially even the local 2s

    Exactly - an A grade spud.  He got awards as St Kilda & Freo's finals player 'cause Lyon was in love with him. Supporters at both clubs hated him. Turnover merchant with no skills. Clarkson delisted him at Hawthorn quick smart.

    Saints would have won a couple of flags if they'd have had a quality defender in place of Dawson.

    Would like to have seen him tried as a forward. Better kick and more agile than his brother

    Poor mark, no physicality and timid with ball in hand. Doesn't really scream "forward".

    No. He seems like a great bloke. I just think he is limited in his football ability. Sorry for being honest

    I expect him to be DFA and on another AFL club's list next year - let's see who's right.

    I believe... He will be at the Bulldogs with his bro TMac! ? 

    PS- I don’t know why people on this forum or anywhere else bash the players...! Especially Oscar. It’s not needed and tells me you are a jealous person who has ultimately failed in your own pursuit in life...! You bashers should be quit embarrassed and ashamed of yourselfs. Grow up!
    And I hope you don’t have kids. Because you would all be aweful parents! Aweful! ?

    And why would another club recruit him?

    KPB depth.  He's not as bad as people make out here.  He's a 24yo one club KPD with further development available, another club is likely to back their development capabilities, for better or worse MFC's are not generally regarded as state-of-the-art.  It wouldn't surprise me if he goes on to play 150 AFL games.

    If he goes to another club you can buy a membership at that club - let's see how "guaranteed" you really think it is that he won't.

    What AFL traits does he possess? I just don't possibly see how he could make 150 games.

    He has sufficient AFL traits to play 81 AFL games including every game as a KPB in 2018, our most successful recent season. 

    As I've posted earlier in the thread, he does have deficiencies but they are magnified in some supporters minds because they often occur on the last line and result in opposition goals.

    FTR, I totally agree with the idea that it's time for him to move on from MFC.

    Are you taking up my bet?

    Hes been gifted about 70 of those games, while the remaining 11 were solid without being stand outs. He lacks aggression, competitiveness, offensive run, agility, pace, footy IQ, reading of the play, contested marking ability and strength.  His best trait is his size, he is probably the biggest defender we have. 

     

    Sure. I guarantee you he won't get picked up, and if he does then that club clearly hasn't watched him play

    Agree Titan. Let’s keep laughing at the suggestion he is a forward. Despicable Me Lol GIF

    i wish him luck find a new home. he put in for the club he was not necessarily the most gifted, but then have a look at most of the players we have had over the last 60 years.

    To be fair, Oscar and Frost were the two defensive pillars of our team that finished fourth in 2018. Neither are great players, but they’re both capable of playing their role.

    I wish Oscar all the best. Copped it from fans for not being a superstar and he always put in and got the best out of himself. He’s achieved more than most players drafted at pick 53.

    I've no particular problem with Oscar moving on and I wish him no ill will, but not sure I agree with this. The reason we were never really in consideration that year is because our defence leaked goals. IMV that is partly system, partly personnel. It's not coincidence the next off season we went after May.

    One thing the MFC does pretty well is allows young guys who aren't getting much of a look in when they could elsewhere to move to another club for opportunities with minimal fuss. Dom Tyson, Oscar McDonald, Brayden Preuss, Mitch Hannan. happy to let them go and hopefully thrive elsewhere. i think it's one of those things that does help in the bigger scheme of things

    No better example of correlation vs causation than this.

    Oscar and Frost were, arguably, the biggest reason we didn't finish top 4 in 2018 and possibly have an even better crack at the finals.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
