Delisted 47: Oskar Smartt - Delisted as of 22/09/25

[Vindicater]

If he debuts, would surely be a bad sign for ADJ and Menzie???

I think Menzie and Davey Jr are cooked either way

Depends how well he plays I’d imagine

 

[jannissary]

think day-wicks ends up ahead of ADJ & menzie anyway

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

He's making his debut.

yeah the recruitment of him at MSD was the death knell. Shame re ADJ, I think he has some tools but just doesnt have the mindset and I dont think its going to click.

 

[jdstorm]

would he get a crack as the Calders replacement with Hobbs moving on ball?

Or maybe we’re going to give a bunch of kids a game vs the tigers in hope to improve our draft pic

Go well mate should be and you proud of how hard you have worked for this opportunity

Agressive and powerful, im really looking forward to seeing how his combativeness takes on the highest level.

Curious if he improves to the level or if he is in between the two.


Fun fact, he played his club football (pre Pioneers) as a small defender at senior level

 

[Yoda_]

I love these, great friendship these two have

[ant555]

Have had my doubts on Oskar but go well young man

 

[ydc55]

Has AFL traits big time.
Can he knuckle down on and off the field and make himself an AFL player.
There is a bit of Jamie Elliot there I reckon.
Great story.

 

[Happyskeret]

Clever choice.

 

[Atavistic]

Intelligent decision.

Great story.

If he is half as good as Elliot we have a player!

I feel ive asked you this before. What traits do you see in him?

 

[nipst@r]

Is another debut the new smokescreen when the club wears some media/fan heat?

Definitely a few different outlets trying desperately for a new story this week.

Don't mind his selection, don't think his shown that much at vfl which i think is long term but desperately need small so no harm giving him a go.

Hope he goes well. Lual stepped up and suprised so Oskar can do the same.

The human rissole

Don’t see rissoles on menus much these days

 

[Petrify]

I feel ive asked you this before. What traits do you see in him?

Not the guy you replied to but my take on him having good AFL traits is:

• Wants to tackle & hurt the opposition
• Lower center of gravity means he can actually stick the tackle (can't teach this)
• Decent by foot

I think if he can bring the aggressiveness at the contest for 4 quarters to AFL level he will be a great player. Our small forwards have really struggled in the past to stick a tackle and I'm not worried about that with him.

 

[King Patty]

Exciting news for the lad to debut.

He has a decent fend off for a small bloke and a bit of swagger small forward / burst mid - think Toby Greene

lol.

What a range...

 

[King Patty]

hardly a smokescreen when the recruiters thought he could be the first one of the MSD picks to debut.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

I was surprised they drafted him and more surprised he’s getting a game. But good luck to him

 

[Squeaky]

lol.

What a range...

That's a full 180 degrees there!
