Like everyone else, I wish Oskar all the best for the rest of his footy career and beyond.

Garry Buchanarra (sp) will be surprised. He assessed MFC's list, and had Oskar as a B grader.

    I don’t mean this as a bad thing but he looks the perfect Southport recruit based on their grand final team

    Well spoken young man, shows that you have a lot of class and your last two years were very important to you and your teammates. Good luck with the rest of your footy career and life ahead.!!

    Bye bye Oskar, thanks and good luck. Loved the video of you and your dad when you got your first senior game. Beautiful!

    I wonder if Southport will try and pick him up? Sad to see Oskar go but the opportunities weren't there unfortunately for Baker.

    Good luck

    Best of luck Oskar, as KLV said that video of your father presenting your jumper was a very special moment

    The door shut on AFL footy? Surely worth a risk for some club

    Thought he might have gone to another club over the last few years but surprisingly no interest.

    VFL form was always steady but just lacked that final piece of luck.

    Debuted before Petty IIRC

    I really think he’s worthy of a chance elsewhere.  Probably the Lions or Suns should definitely have a think given he’s a Queenslander.  His pace and strength and run through the mid/wing is what is needed by clubs.  
     

    He played good footy late in 2020. Unfortunately he was behind Langdon and Brayshaw and Jordon over the past 2 years.  Now with Hunter coming in, Oskar is squeezed out.  

    He was a key part of the AFL squad in 21 and the Casey VFL Premiership this year. 
     

    Good luck Oskar.  Sauce, you are a quality bloke.

    Showed his grit in the Casey Premiership win! After a shaky start, in atrocious conditions, Oskar fought his way into the game with determination and grunt running. By the final quarter he had become central to Casey's relentless movement of the ball going forward. I think he will be picked up, and I believe well worth the risk. Best wishes Oskar, football teams need blokes of your quality!

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
