Slow as treacle. Close to the slowest at the club.
Wouldn't panic. He's just someone we can guarantee won't get picked up by another sideIs this a surprise to those who followed our VFL side closely?
From the outside it seemed as though Oscar had a reasonably solid first season at VFL level.
Which is weird. If he is guaranteed to not even be taken by other clubs as a rookie then why did we not select him as a rookie last year rather then give him a list spot?Wouldn't panic. He's just someone we can guarantee won't get picked up by another side
Who else would you have drafted at pick 74 last year?Which is weird. If he is guaranteed to not even be taken by other clubs as a rookie then why did we not select him as a rookie last year rather then give him a list spot?
May have been a chance of going elsewhere last year, and as we used our last pick on him it may have been done to stop another team grabbing him in one of the picks after our last selection was goneWhich is weird.

Which suggests he has done something wrong over the past 12 months and his stocks has fallen in the eyes of other recruiters.May have been a chance of going elsewhere last year, and as we used our last pick on him it may have been done to stop another team grabbing him in one of the picks after our last selection was gone
Or it was one of the following scenarios:Which suggests he has done something wrong over the past 12 months and his stocks has fallen in the eyes of other recruiters.
He is Blair's nephew.This is a great pick up.
We had a kid called Brownless playing for us during 80s-90s.
Any relation?
He he. Blair I have a few frothies together every now and then, as he works with my wife.He is Blair's nephew.
Who cares? BROWNLESS!!!!!!!!!!!Meh.....dont rate him, think the name has more to do with this selection than his ability, time will tell.
Who cares? BROWNLESS!!!!!!!!!!!
Or it was one of the following scenarios:
- Oscar said no to other teams and that he was committed to the GFC, even if that meant a year on the rookie list
- Other recruiters respected Geelong's position, with their desire to re-list Oscar and decided to keep clear
It seems to be the done thing in the AFL that when a team publically commits to redrafting a player they have had to delist, that other teams don't step in & take said player - especially when both player & club are committed
Abbott was a bit of a different situation, as there was talk during the season that both parties were happy to look at options at seasons end - so not sure the club was totally upset by St Kilda picking him up at a DFA. Only thing is the club may have wanted better notice so they could look at alternative ruck options
Hopefully he doesn’t have a “mate” like LyonHe he. Blair I have a few frothies together every now and then, as he works with my wife.
He's nearly as silly as Billy, but nowhere near as fat.
Nah, he did stand for election in recent state politics.Hopefully he doesn’t have a “mate” like Lyon
