Once May and Lever are fit it’s time for Petty to start playing as the third tall. Clearly more talented than Oscar sad the better long term prospect. Frost horses for courses.

Feel like Oscar’s actually been cheated out of crucial VFL development time. How many key defenders not taken in the first round play 62 games in their first four years?

I said it at the time and I'll say it now just playing a 19 year old tall and expecting he will just become good is shit house coaching. I never liked him to begin with but he's playing with no confidence at all. He looks like a first year player.

It's not even about strength anymore, he gets caught behind on leads far too often, no closing speed whatsoever, and the air swings and turnovers are nothing short of disgraceful.

He's slow
He's weak
He's not a good mark
He's not a good spoiler
He fumbles ground balls

I can't think of one area of defending he is AFL quality at. I'd honestly be surprised if he got a game at any other AFL club, even Liam Jones is quick.

He was concussed. You’re all very quickly forgetting how good he was in the second half of last season.
He’s going to be the MFCs Bruce Doull.

Bruce Doull was a skillful half back flanker, nice comparison mate.

Good? Like when he singled handedly cost us the game in Geelong by letting Hawkins **** him? Or his diabolical performance in the prelim?

Bruce Doull? May as we have compared him to David Wirrapunda

Really good points. Dunn should’ve been tipped out of the team on merit. Pretty poorly handled all round in hindsight.

Oscar has probably played his best games as a quasi-goalkeeper but even then was never great. He’s not great one on one and is slow af when it hits the ground. When his confidence is up he’s probably a better kick than Tom, but probably because he doesn’t take as many risks.

Casey beckons.

How long can this vfl player play in our side ? Goodwin favourite and due to May and lever being injured will continue to play for at least half the year.

I'm impressed that 10 years after joining Bigfooty you've come out of the wilderness because of OMac. And people say he never impacts anything!

He was solid for a lot of last year. I don't have a problem with on-the-job learning, and better to do it in the AFL where the standard is set rather than the VFL where they need to adjust to the level above when they do make the step up.

He can't keep getting games playing the way he is, though. Frost was boobish as usual but at least serviceable last night, but OMac has to go out for Kielty or Petty even just to give the bloke a wake up call.
 
How you campaigners couldnt tell tiger was trolling hard is beyond me😂😂😂

Last year he was old enough play. It was the 40 games before that he was gifted for no reason. Now he looks like a bloke who's had bags kicked on him and made mistakes.
