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.

Thanks Oskar, best of luck for the future

He'll be okay

He'll make some good coin in the country leagues, or interstate comps

 

[DeeZee 7,107]

How many senior games did he end up playing?

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

Not that I was for retaining him but that's more speed out the door.

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.!!

[Demonsterative 2,459]

Well said Oscar. Casey premiership player. Kudos! 

[KLV 1,693]

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

[WERRIDEE 5,270]

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

[dazzledavey36 50,438]

All the best Oskar. Mum would have been extremely proud of your achievements. 

[chook fowler 18,873]

All class. Very close to making it. Strange he wasn't given a chance to try his luck during trade week.

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

Good luck Oskar for the rest of your footy career.

Hopefully you can get a rookie chance somehwere.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

He has something, a lot of clubs could do worse than get him as a delisted free agent.

[spirit of norm smith 13,875]

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.  

[waynewussell 4,274]

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!
