Had a closer look. Of the 4 we took, I'm most excited about this guy. I think he's got the skill set to succeed in a League that's going to get quicker and quicker... But also because he has what we need badly. Pace.

No Ginger Baker/Cream gags. Disappointing.

I think Ginger Rogers (aka Tina Louise) with that mop:

So now I have to self-qoute from another thread just to stay in the race . . .

It's not particularly creative, but I'm just gonna leave 'Obak' here as a digital record of my potentially being the first in the door. Though his wild red mane is somewhat reminiscent of a certain Stars Wars character, so I'll add 'Obacca' or 'Chewbaker' here just to cover the more creative neological bases.

Just to ensure Demonland isn't accused of fake news, Tina Louise's character was called Ginger Grant. (Fred Astaire used to dance with Ginger Rogers.)

A haircut would bring this all to fruition, given that the base model displays so much talent. Might even make him more speedy when he sees where he is going....

Jayden will give him a headband. Problem solved.

Of course, why didn't I think of that?

Much as I dislike him (probably because he plays for Norf and usually carves us up) but the locks haven’t done Ben Brown too much harm. 

Not sure why he was cut from brisbane Academy but he looks well balanced, has some pace and hits targets. Clearly the FD have kept an eye on him


Erm, looks like the guy on the left with modified hair...Beavis-And-Butt-head-640x379.jpg.7055891b87b4d3b6390c2930113f0b9f.jpg

I thought we traded Fitzpatrick?

The ball is about to hit his hands instead of bouncing off his face.

It aint Fitzy


From the highlights that we've all seen, this kid looks exciting.  If he lives up to that promise, and retains his flowing locks, he'll add to our growing list of cult heroes quicker than you can say 'ginger ninja'.  That's got to be a good thing!

Like the look of him, seems to have really good balance and likes to take the game on (fits our style). Also appears to be a competitor, with some of those tackles in the video, but best of all his body will be ready for the rigours of AFL life already.

Welcome Oskar!

(Side note, the pic of Chewbacca next to him made me laugh so much. I'd love for his nickname to be Chewy shortened from Chewbaker!)


When rumours circulated we were into Baker I was worried we'd use our first pick on him and thought it was the wrong move. Turns out we landed him with our last pick at 47. He's definitely got great pace and agility, question will be how it holds up under AFL level pressure. Though his highlights look excited, there is bugger all defensive pressure in the NEAFL and it almost looked like they were playing touch footy at times :P He doesn't mind laying a tackle though and looks competitive so he'll give it a red hot crack.

Of all our draftees this year I'm hoping Baker makes it. He's got exactly what our midfield needs: pace. Welcome Oskar!

Baker provides solid depth, knows the game plan our culture and must get on well with players and coaches.?

The reality is we need back-up depth in all positions in case of injuries. At worst it may result in a VFL Premiership for them if they don’t make the first 23.

Players like Baker, Weidman, Tomlinson, Chandler, Jordon, Daw, etc, sitting in the wings and training together is sound planning and will ensure that we have no speed humps next year!

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.
