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.

    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.

    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: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
