He'll always be remembered for getting the ball to Harmes who got it to Jack Watts to run in and goal to beat the Pies.

Thank you,  OMac.

    Heard Geelong might be interested but is a bit too young. Anyway good luck OMAC.

    Most . . . really? I wonder what the evidence is for that assertion.

    I follow all the ex-Deez in the AFL. I wonder if 'most' on 'Land do as well. 

    Perhaps they should have used many rather than most?

    That's great Queanbeyan Demon that you follow all ex Demons, it is. 

    Shouldn't have jumped the gun there, I personally don't and I'm not sure I'm in the minority there on 'Land either. I and a lot of others are mainly about the now but I don't begrudge anyone who isn't like that.

    I heard from a relative of Oscars that he has been offered a two year contract with Freo and he currently making plans to pack up and move over there as we speak.

    I wish him all the best. Apparently he has been working his guts out at VFL level and has been rewarded.

    Collingwood would’ve won this game by 1 point after Watts kicks that goal if that was this year.

    I think getting on a third AFL list will qualify him for the honorific title of "journeyman".

    And a hearty round of congratulations, too.

    I have watched this about 150 times. One of the ultimate highlight goals in my opinion. I was also there that day and screamed so much I think I lost my voice for a few day. That whole link of play was magnificent to watch. ❤️💙

    That's awesome for omac.

    Great reward for super hard work.

    By all accounts his back injury was pretty bad, which makes getting back on an AFL list all the more meritorious given the rehab he would have had to push through - made tougher by not being in the AFL system with all the resources and support at club land.

    A super smart fella who works hard and is the very definition of a solid citizen. Great pick up for freo.

    Good on freo for offering him a two year contract. Uprooting your life and moving to the other side of the country is no small thing. 

    14 more games and he gets to 100 games and AFL life membership.

    Good onya Omac.

    Fremantle will be full of state level footballers soon just to maintain a full list. 
     

    And it will be glorious.

    I honestly tear up each time I watch that. That was maybe the best goal I’ve witnessed in terms of the absolute limbs when he put it through. It was symbolic on so many levels: his Queen’s Birthday retribution (was it his last one?) and he cast off the massive weight on his shoulders - you could tell by the look on his face: part sheer exhaustion and part walking on air.

    Good luck to omac but you look at Dees backline in the 2018 Prelim and wonder how the hell we got that far. Bog ordinary. Those defenders wouldnt get near selection nowdays.

    Freo must be losing their mind.

    Good.

    Well yeah..?

    He had some physical attributes but opposition coaches worked out quickly that he had an ordinary footy IQ, made many incorrect decisions and was a fumbler under pressure. If it was not for his brother he would not have played 50 games.

    3/10

    This is a footy forum not an obituary piece.

    Edit: Wait, what ..... Freo. lol although I honestly hope he does well and makes a go of it.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
