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

Probably was. He would have been mentioned in an array of 'possibles'. Suggest there were no takers. Or clubs thought they could punt the free agent/rookie market for him.

 

Thanks for your contributions Oskar - you were part of a premiership list but couldn’t quite break through into a highly rated team.  No disgrace and good luck with the rest of your career and life. 

Good Luck to you Oscar, im sure the the SANFL would welcome you with open arms.

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

Yes - he honoured the promise he made.

(...and re your references, @KLV, @Pennant St Dee and @dazzledavey36)

Just revisited the jumper presentation, a reminder of just what an achievement it is to get there.

Hope he gets another chance. I felt his disposal and decision making improved this year

A replacement for Lachie Hunter?

Bulldogs poised to sign Baker

The Western Bulldogs are poised to sign speedy Melbourne wingman Oskar Baker via the pre-season supplemental selection period.

The 24-year-old played 15 games with Melbourne after making his debut in 2019 but could not get a look-in at the Demons, with Ed Langdon, James Jordon and Angus Brayshaw all playing on the wing.

Really hope he does get signed.  Always makes me pleased to see our delisted or frindge ex-players get a chance at another club.

Western Bulldogs Hierarchy Stiff. 

"Now Mitch, we know you [censored] that handball on the 50 in the Grand Final that would have broken the Dee's hearts... and you are a professional footballer, and you shouldn't make those mistakes in high pressure situations. Anyway we were going to de-list you. But before we do, I happened to be trawling on the internet. I have a guilty pleasure... Mariah Carey... remember back in the early 90's and she released an Xmas CD - it was my fave.... anyway I stumbled across 'My Heart Will Go On'...let me tell you - I can belt it out... anyway, there was this video clip of YOU Mitch, YOU, running down the wing against the Cats as that premiership gumby Blicavs fell over... and you smashed that goal... that must have been incredible. Anyway, I didn't know that about you, clearly our intel is lacking.... and that my friend is a long long boring segue to get to the main thrust of this monologue., Sigh...our intel is still lacking... Got any hot tips for blokes that could play on our wing?"

And  ball hasn't been kicked in frothy anger yet!!!


Best of luck to him. They have a lot of classy mids so perhaps he will reinvent his role. 

Very few players I genuinely wish the best for in other colours but he is one of them. Go Oskar!

Wouldn't mind seeing him go well at the Dogs. Did nothing wrong with us other than being down the pecking order.

Just hope he doesn't kick the winning goal in round 1 next year!

personally, would be surprised if he's in their starting 23

if they can teach him to kick - something that not even choc could fix - he'll be a more than handy player cos his workrate and running is excellent

So essentially, we swapped Oskar for Hunter? Handy.

All the best to him though, seemed like a ripper bloke.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    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.
