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!

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
