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!

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
