Welcome to the MFC Oskar!

 

[RandB]

So we have two Oscars now. They can trash-talk each other at training.

Two Oscars and only one Jack, who would have thought...

 

[dylan93]

Absolute steal considering he was linked to our first pick.

 

[PitchBlease]

I feel like with his spelling of Oscar he should pronounce his surname baKER or otherwise apologise for his spelling of Oscar

I like the spelling, but his last name doesn’t work with it. Should be Shumsky or something along those lines. Or grouch, I guess.

We have a Baker. All we need now is to rookie John Butcher and someone with a name close to candlestick-maker and we're set.

You have been drinking. This isn’t a question.

Either that or I'm in line for an Oskar.

Even I hate myself for this post. Almost as much as the pathetic spelling of his name.

I will however finish watching the chefs table episode on Nancy Silverton who is a world renowned baker.

Queue the line about Oskar making plenty of dough during his career. Or lots of bread.

Speaking of candlestick makers, my sister was in a primary school class with a guy whose name was waxworker. Brett Waxworker. Might be an invented name though because his Mum worked with my Mum for a bit and she got a divorce and changed her name to Lynn Rainforest. I am pissed, but this isn’t a lie.

You’ve picked up a good kid here (not really a kid).
Have known his dad for a long time now and all Bakes wants to do is make it as an AFL footballer. Serious pace, hope he goes well for you.

Didn't his dad play drums with Clapton in Cream?

Indeed. His uncle was the fourth Dr who.

A candlestick-maker was traditionally called a "chandler" so that might be our best bet on that front. Some quick googling tells me there actually aren't any Chandler's in the AFL at the moment, so we might have to wait a while to bring this dream to fruition.

What's the reason he was cut from the Brisbane academy? How many players get cut, seems odd to me that he wasn't just 'not drafted' unless that is the case. Obviously came on strongly in the last year. Hopefully for us it keeps going.

 

[Canary]

Common misconception. Was actually the sixth.

 

[Topkent]

We should delist just for that spelling.

 

[Willo 17]

Needs a haircut. Welcome aboard Oscar.

William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, John Pertwee, Tom Baker

??? Who in the hell were the other two?

 

[CWaffles]

Won the goal of the year, has good pace about him.

Yes, looks very sprightly in fast forward.

Fair roost from McKenzie for goal #2.

 

[pjfairbairn]

In the SEN Inside Football Draft Special, with a top score of 5, he rated as follows:

Kicking 4
Marking 4
Accumulating 3.5
Contested Ball 3
Speeds 4
Agility 4
Endurance 2.5
Draft Range: Second Round

 

[ABray10]

I thought this guy was a shoe in for a 5 in speed. What does the bastard need to do for that.

 

[Demonkings]

Could be a legendary jazz musician from the 1940’s or maybe a slam poet, maaaan

William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, John Pertwee, Tom Baker

No, that's right then Peter Davison and Colin Baker (Oskar's uncle)
