Gaff, then Shuey.

Whoops, I'll blame autocorrect on that one i guess

Lucky he’s not an abattoir worker.

Fit looking fella, which is a good thing being a professional athlete I suppose. 

Looks a lot older than 20.

There is no doubt that playing with better players gives you a good chance to perform at a better level.

That of course has to be tempered by the fact that your opposition is better and quicker and the game is faster.

The real problem for Oskar, is that unlike most clubs, we are poorly skilled and that pass that should hit him on the chest may in fact land in a food outlet.

Glad though that he is getting a chance and hope he has a good one.

Point taken but the “higher standards” don’t necessarily have to be from his team mates. Players can rise to the standards set by the opposition also.

Congrats Oskar and looking forward to seeing you burn the park and hope that your hammies hold up well.  Watching you play for Casey over time l have become a admirer of yours for the way you play with aggression, and chase hard and use your  speed to your advantage which will  do you good in the AFL.  I know you have many admirers and hope you showcase your  talents  tonight and in the future.

Long time coming.

As I said in the Gameday thread, I reckon it's the new haircut.  He looked like an unkempt kid with the mop.  Now looks like a man!

What pick did we get Baker at?

Definitely the type of player we need who has pace and handy around goals. Disposal is the issue but he’s not alone there.

Like to see OB get a game soon. Needs to just be allowed to use pace at all times. 

And we hope he uses the pace tonight.  Great story too. 

Best wishes OB! Snag a win then rip down a yard of beer for Bob! Go Dees !

3 years ago Oskars mum Trudie passes away from cancer.  He promises her that he will get to  an AFL list and play AFL one day.  Tonight it happens and near his 22nd birthday.  Lots of tears for family and friends when OB runs out.  I hope he savours the moment.  Well done Oskar. 

As The Small Faces once sang...

“And, depending on my labour...the texture and the flavour” - same as a football career I presume...

Oh! That was him!? The same person? I knew there was a reason I was confused. Really does look totally different, body and head.

That's what happens when you rely too much on the online radio.

 

 

Has looked good so far. Pace, and great disposal (although it is only the first quarter). Fingers crossed he can become the gun winger we’ve been looking for

Oskar showing alot. With Melky out for at least the next month I can see Oskar getting a good run at it in the middle and up forward.

Didn’t he look (sadly) a bit like Ben Brown?

Did some good things and will hopefully acclimatize to the pace. 

I like him.

His awareness should increase with experience meaning he will get caught with the footy less and find some space to break the game open.

Some encouraging signs from him. Would like to see him retained for another game.

Id give him 5 week stretch of senior footy.

I reckon he will be the kind of player that will actually play better at AFL level rather then the VFL standard. 

Loved his game tonight

won't be dropped based on that performance
