Past #45: Oscar Junker - won't be offered a new contract - thanks for your efforts Oscar

[Harris 10]

I'm happy with this pick, wanted him with our last pick in the National Draft.

To get him as a rookie is a great result.

 

[Firestarter]

Can't have too much leadership material.

[King Corey]

Looks straight out of Master and Commander. Explains the leadership comments.

 

[Roopassion]

Looks good in the highlights. Nice kick, mark and reads the play nice in the back line

That's as good a 70s footy card head as you'll ever see. Just needs to lift his sideburn game a bit.

I'm on the Junker junket!

From Recruiting Manager Bryce Lewis

“Oscar’s a boy from the Western Jets who has actually been training with Werribee, our VFL affiliate in the lead-up to the Rookie Draft. He’s a really good size at 192 centimetres and has played in all areas across the ground.

“He reads the ball really well, is a very good intercept mark and has a penetrating left-foot kick.

“He had some injury disruption so he didn’t get a lot of exposure at national level, but finished off the year really strongly with the Western Jets.

“As the co-captain of the Jets, he’s highly regarded for his character and leadership and you see that in the way he goes about it in the field."

Brilliant. I was trying to think of that plane. Was it the Junker JU88?

Yep correct it had that evil *en siren attached which made it scream like a banshee, just to scare the * out of everyone- just how they rolled I suppose.

Battler Britain and Biggles like this.

 

[DaveyBoy123]

We couldn't nab WHE in a trade, so we got a similar looking kid from the same Under 18 team.

I apologise in advance, but the way he plays kinda has a little Nat Fyfe about him!

You can never have too many left footers, 190cm+ is a bonus, penetrating kick, good mark, versatile, leadership, ticks a lot of boxes, welcome and good luck Oscar.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Come on now guys.

It has to be Oscar Junker = The Brando.

Ju87 Stuka

That's the Ju-87 Stuka, the Ju-88 was more of a fast and very versatile light/medium bomber that was a very good aircraft.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

No, Oscar Junker = The Stuka

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Ju87 Stuka

We have so much to discuss about aircraft.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

No, Oscar Junker = The Stuka

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

O go drink some goon.

 

[Pykie]

Love all the rookie draft picks.

Especially this one, think he will impress pretty quickly at VFL level, his game suits the slower style. He's got sticky hands and he's a real big body in the middle of the ground, especially as he will put on muscle pretty quickly in a full time AFL environment. Will be one of the better players at Werribee in the next 24 months.

Think he's a real shot at being one of the big success' out of this draft for us.

The joke is on you, I already am.
