4 teams currently interested. Don’t expect much in return but Oscar very likely to find a new home 

They are?

    Mitch Georgiades. Tim Membrey. Shaun Mckernan. Jack Darling. The list goes on of blokes that made Oscar look decidedly 2nd rate.   imv the club will look to offload Oscar to anyone who’s interested and maybe get a pick in the 60s or 70s or just delist. But it’s just imv 

    He comfortably beat Jack Darling.

    Zac Dawson was a good athlete who built strength and became a very good defensive player even with limited skills. 

    Oscar's never shown any kind of athleticism and hasn't improved his defensive ability. 

    The camera work likely obscures some of stuff Oscar does well but too many times he'll be in good position with his opponent and just led to the ball. If you can't compete you aren't even going to make it.

    Zac Dawson wasn't afraid of physical contact either. Put his body on the line on many occasions.

    Surely

    omcd and pick 63 to Swans for pick 52 Or

    omcd and pick 63 to Power for pick 51 Or

    omcd and pick 63 to Crows for pick 50
     

    If Tom goes to NSW for Giants or SA for Crows, Oscar can still tag along.

    Honestly if a trade gets done I'm not going to worry about a token pick that we won't even use. That's not me wanting to denigrate him but if there can be something done that's simple to get Oscar to a club who'll give him a chance then let's do it and try to make his exit on the best terms possible.

    Oscar's actually better off getting delisted and becoming a life time free agent. Trading him just moves the process along rather than waiting for deadlines. 

    I'm going to take a random guess at clubs just to see how I go.

    Bulldogs - always keen for tall defensive depth
    Gold Coast - played pretty much all year without a CHB
    Port - need a taller defender if they miss out on Aliir
    Syndey - if Aliir goes

    You really think Port, a top 4 side would take omac? If Jack watts couldn't get a game than Oscar has no hope of being picked up there

    Watts could get a game, just didn't want to and got injured. They tried Trengove, Toumpas and Dom Barry as well. They've taken and rejuvenated Trent McKenzie and Sam Mayes and they are in the market for a proper big key defender. I think he makes more sense going to a good side as mature depth than going to a bad team. Bad sides can start again drafting and developing players. A good side like Port needs to have someone step in as depth or to play on the big talls, that's the kind of side that should roll the dice on getting more out of Oscar. They also play a very high press/aggressive zone which Oscar generally does well in (or at least better than when he's forced one on one.

    All jokes aside. I actually took a moment and honestly couldn't think of any club that would take him. Maybe north but even that's a stretch

    Can't believe I'm saying this but Oscar is way more of an AFL footballer than Toumpas ever was. Probably our worst top 5 pick ever.

    Toumpas didn't play enough games to tear my hair out because he was too busy being ordinary at VFL level, then when he got to play at AFL level he'd barely touch the ball.

    Cale morton was way better than toumpas. I remember one game where Morton completely took Adam Goodes out of the game

    Scully has gone on to be a decent player at other clubs so i think Morton and Toumpas were worse. Lucas Cook pretty average. god it's depressing thinking about our recruting

    Toumpas was a rolls royce at under18 level. much like jonathan o'rourke. they were just victims of the game becoming a rolling scrum.

    Toumpas couldn't run.  He waddled around the ground.

    Didn't have the body for footy, but his child bearing hips were impressive.

    Gosh, fancy Elegt, olisik, Dr. D and Pickett2Jackson all posting at the same time again.

    You could be forgiven for suspecting they're the one person.  Just another coincidence, I suppose.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
