[Snuffaluphagus]

Perfect coverage for a couple years

 

[MadMundy]

He goes right into a Hamling sized hole. Smart signing.

Let's just hope Hugh Davies develops as expected, and wears a hat over the summer.

Oscar fills the Hamling gap until then.

 

[Joose]

Do we call him Omac?

 

[FUS_RO_DAH]

Excellent. Him only being 27 pleasantly surprises me. Perfect cover.

Welcome Oscar!

 

[Ge3ks]

Welcome Oscar

 

[rgauci]

Age wise a better fit than Hamling. Hopefully can elevate his game back on a list for the 3rd time. Wagner quickly became best 22.

 

[Nodgey]

Spud elsewhere, gun here

 

[Headless]

Happy to see this. Go OMac!

 

[Jezzitizle]

Perfect move, could get 5 or 6 years out of him. Not sure expecting an All Australian, but we can relax a bit now about Pearce’s durability. Also will keep Pearce and Cox honest.

[gaskin]

Unexpected but a welcome signing. KPD depth was always going to be an issue once Hamling left.

 

[Joao]

More like Oscar McPremiership.

This is a great pick up!

I'm in the minority here but we needed a key forward to help Jye Amiss not another key defender

Where are we getting a key forward better than Treacy as a DFA?

Good luck getting one half as good tbh.

Not to mention Taberner is already on the list. If any KPF in the state leagues were as good they'd be on a list already.

 

[mike91]

Very pleased with this. We desperately needed a ready to go defender in case an injury occurred.

 

[Tonga Bob]

My question is whether he has a farm?

 

[Rob]

Who says we're not a destination club!

 

[Parrots78]

My question is whether he has a farm?

You bet he does
And on that farm he has some….
cows

Someone like a Tyler Keitel would be a good pickup for us

Someone like Keitel or do you mean Keitel?

What you do reckon the odds of a 27yo who's been overlooked 162 times for what one can only assume are good reasons, is actually any good? I'd say pretty close to zero.

Dude has even trained with us and we still aren't interested.
