Uhm… you saw him at Gosch’s? Why tf didn’t you tell me he was there?! You know I’m a stickybeak and that I simply have to know who every single person is at Gosch’s!!!

A thousand apologies - reckon his little cameo happened after training and as you know some of us track-watchers hang around to dissect the problems of the universe. Didn't give it another thought until I saw the press about this possible Cat B rookie.

On limited exposure how did he look?

Didn’t Tracc miss his first season with an ACL injury from home basketball?? 😮

Home basketball might’ve caused the broken toe that delayed his debut the season following his ACL.

Athletic. Determined. But I am no Jason Taylor.

I had a different take. Ball skills were excellent, lateral movement seemed good, good speed, ran in a straight line well, smiled when spoken to, disappointed not to be approached by Ghosty, body shape a bit like Sesso, good endurance, good teeth.

Did you notice any of those things?

You misspelled “Relieved” 😅

Why not? Everyone else is.

Here’s an idea, sounds crazy but hear me out…

Let’s give the guy a go.

I know, it’s so much easier to write him off before he even arrives at the club, based purely on the fact that he’s coming from a basketball background, but let’s see how he goes.

A chance.

Fancy that.

Round these here parts.

Yeah this. Missed a month of pre season or so.

Now that you mention all those traits....

Berry played AFL as a teenager and that is a big difference.

He is also not a skinny young ruckman hopeful, who is physically underdeveloped and knows little about the game.

Berry has never played AFL. You have the wrong information.

Yes, he’s never played AFL. Nobody has. Aussie Rules, on the other hand… many have played that, Oscar included.

Was just talking to a dear friend whose grandson started at the Western Jets at the same time Oscar was there and who said there’s every reason to believe Oscar will make it in the AFL.

Back in my day there were 70 players on a VFL list.

To be on a list you were most likely the best kid in your area, school or zone.

You had been kicking the footy since you were four years old.

There was no such thing as a development player who didn’t have a clue.

Sorry BBB but he apparently played in an under age granny the year that his family moved to USA. Aussie Rules.

I’ve told my kids if ever I start prefacing sentences with this they’re to ignore what follows.

Australian Rules under age footy BBB.

DeeZone never said Oscar played in an AFL granny, but that he did play in an Aussie Rules granny. Learn the difference.

We’re on the same page, BBB. 👍🏽🙂

From his coaches notes at North Florida Ospreys he is 6’5” and 205 lb, similar size to Rick and Disco. Competive passion and determination not only stems from his basketball background but in his Australian Rules Football days. Oscar is a Marketing Graduate and is planning a Masters in Marketing. Seems like a self driven young man that could fill a hole at Dees.

Just out of curiosity BBB should I have posted ARF for Aussie rules?

Not all, just as long as you dont state he played AFL as a junior.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
