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 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.

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

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 ?

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.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
