OskarBaker2019Review.png 
The youngster impressed in his debut season at senior level and showed great potential. His electric pace is an asset at a club regareded as lacking in players with speed in its arsenal.

With the inclusion of Tomlinson and Langdon on the wings where does the Ginger Ninja line up?

Probably starts the year at Casey, but as we found out the hard way this year, it's always good to have a surplus of options.

Tomlinson to the half fwd flank, Ginger to the Wing. Ginger and Tomlinson share immediate duties on that flank when proximal - and break free when separated.

love watching him

Will be a player

Im with you, Kent.   A big full preseason for Baker, whos had so many soft tissue issues, will be so important.

Hs almost overlooked in the midfield discussions, but he has pace, is tough and loves a goal and is born for the wing.  Theres a lot to like about Oskar.

IMO he has what it takes just needs to continue to build that tank at Casey....!!!!

Running defender in the Jayden Short vain. We lack run of half back and I can see Baker really thriving as a hard running defender.

Another for whom 2020 will be an important year.

Not sure whether he will make it

DJ - nobody can ever be sure of anything so why state the obvious? ??
But from the little I have seen of him (FWIW) there doesn’t seem much reason to believe he won’t, injuries aside.

He can play, but he needs to get much, much fitter to be a decent AFL player. A bit of upper body strength would be handy as well. 

A two year contract gives him time to work on these things at Casey in 2020 and become an AFL regular in 2021.

The posts were all very favourable so just tempering it with reality.

From what I have witnessed over 2 years nothing special and no reason to think he will definitely make it as other posters have predicted.

I may be wrong but ultimately I think he will be just another depth player. Name me the last best 22 player to come out of Casey MFC players.

To be fair the list is really only Fritsch.

BUT considering we are now really driving the standards Baker Lockhart maybe Corey Wagner if he can Bridge the VFL to AFL gap are all only pups in this evolution.

Too many are critical of Casey and yes we need to get rolling with this investment but standard  of play training and professionalism should see numbers increase dramatically in the next 3-5 years.

Fritsch never played as an MFC listed player at Casey so technically there are none as I mentioned. Lockhart the same FWIW.

You could say its drafting but Casey is starting to look like a black hole for MFC draftees.

Definitely something there with Oscar B. Has vision and the abilty to use pace and side step to give himself extra time. They're good qualities to have.

Also seemed to deliver the ball quite well. Seemed quite comfortable on the field and would expect to get beter with more game time.

Turbo Speed. Nice sidestep. Decision making/disposal solid. If he can build his endurance then he will have a good AFL career.

In my mind he has all the attributes, but a bit like Stretch was.    He gets found out at the higher level because he doesn't have the will to get inside or centre side of the contest.   He's always between the contest and the boundary line and unlike casey, at the top level you run out of room.   Maybe if he builds his body up he will get the confidence to change.   James Hird used to call it sheep dogging - circling the pack but going nowhere.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
