    It must be a special moment to make your AFL debut.  But Oskar’s story to fulfill his promise to his mum is something very very special.  His fathers speech was so emotional.

    Good luck OB. You are a great young man.

    Heartbreaking to hear but also inspirational, I really hope he nails his first AFL goal at the G this week. I reckon the boys will get right around him.

    The kid looks good, sharp. Could be a player. He is exactly what we need right about now, so long as he can use the ball well, he will automatically be invaluable for us.

    The response to this video by all but especially non-MFC fans has been amazing.

    I might sound crazy, but he has the look of a young Acker about him.  Not saying he has that immense talent but he has some. and a bit of swagger.  critical to give him a couple of games now he should feel comfortable to show what he can do. debut in perth against WC as premiers is the toughest debut you can get

    Robbo showed it on 360 and said he was really moved when he first saw it and then again when it was shown last night.

    We all tend to forget in our passion for the club and winning, that these guys have lives away from footy and that events outside of the game can clearly impact on their performance.

    Good luck to Oskar and hope he has a long career with us.

    em', thats what I was thinking to,  'DD'.

    Have to love a kid who loves his mum so much. I’m sure she would be very proud.

    how's the serendipity of the timing of his debut :)

    On the mark will be calling... but seriously was moved to tears like many. I liked that his second touch in the game was a costly booboo but he didn't stop trying.

    If he bases his future game on Isaac Smith, then we’re set for a keeper!

    what an amazing insight we were provided. He was great last weekend for a rookie, and showed a whole lot of promise!

    however, the question I have is: how great is it to see some super-mature young lads in our team that are deeply focussed on issues that are not on themselve?!

    oskar has life perspective, and in many ways, he’s leaps and bounds ahead of many of the lads on our 22 list...

    good luck bro!!! (Oh and your dad is a champ!!!)

    I applaud your creativity in finding a way to use an overwhelmingly positive thread about another player to pot Petracca for no reason. Well done ?

    It’s my fault, I set him up for that one, apologies..

    Loved his game. And used the ball really well. 

    With finals put of the occasion, i would just play him for the rest of the year. Development time.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • 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.
