Haven't seen this kid play other than the usual highlights clips, but surely a 19 year old who couldn't even crack it onto the list of the worst team in the AFL isn't worth blowing our first pick on?!

If someone like Bailey or Spargo is still available, I'd hope the club drafts them.

I would be interested in a comparison with Jack Petruccelle who has been named in connection with our picks also and has a fair bit of pace / line-breaking ability. @stevethemanjordan I believe you've seen a bit of Petruccelle and might be able to add some insight?

I posted a bit on him on page 3 of this thread: 

 

 

Haven't seen Baker in the flesh, only a glimpse from his highlights vids but from what I can gather, speed would be about the only thing that they share in common.

Petruccelle is very raw.

Would be a dream if he slipped, I love him.

Yeah! There will a couple who slide. Just hope it's someone we want.

Have you seen Garner much? He was in first round calculations at the start of the year but seems to be one who will potentially slip to our picks.

Great effort demonland.

 

Absolutely rapt that we have him! 

Was top of my 'wish list' '


I love the fact that he has fought back from previous disappointment to be drafted.  Work ethic and leaving no stone un-turned is the new Melbourne way!

I first thought that Brisbane would have all of the inside knowledge of this kid, and that picking him would be a stretch, but then I remembered Brisbanes recent drafting record.

Absolutely love the highlights vid. His run is incredible, as is his kicking at speed. A rarity.

On his highlights, I say not half back, but wing for mine, as it didn't show any defensive work.

Welcome to the Dees Oskar, and the Baker family. Hope you can become immersed in the oldest club in the land.

 

 

Please keep your son off Demonland if he is not considered starting 18 in round 1. It gets a bit ugly on here.

I think we did well to get him in the 40s.  As @Deeoldfart mentioned above, he is clearly a bloke who has worked extremely hard to get himself back into draft contention and he has pace to burn.  I don't expect him to play much next year but he has time to develop a bigger tank so he can involve himself with more consistency.

No Ginger Baker/Cream gags. Disappointing.

Sure there was, just one page ago...

If that doesn't do it, how about Ginger Baker after the famous drummer from Cream?

There’s a spot in the team for Baker. Needs to compete with Stretch for the fast running wing position that I see as a missing element in our best 22.

I think I'm actually most excited by this guy.  He has the two things we desperately need in pace and kicking skills.  He could be a real bargain.

And your wish came true! As well as getting this guy..


Nice to see some dash and speed and looks the type to win his own ball .

Also someone said he should go to the Saints where they have J. Bruce.

Great story on MFC Website about young Oskar.   

Had to overcome adversity.  

I like his style to take on the game with his pace.  Don’t be surprised if the ginger ninja gets a spot in the team in early rounds of 2018.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
