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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
