Player Watch #43 Jacob Bauer

[SplintWhisky]

Real stiff as his first 2 disposals were class and composed and looked like he could of set himself for a big one.

Deserves the contract extension and to keep his name in the frame as a jack replacement.

 

[Wallaby]

He lasted less than 2 minutes of AFL and then as a 22 year pulled a hammy on a fairly innocuous incident, like he wasn't gut busting sprinting when he pinged it.

If you watch the replay, it's a strange kick - he looks composed, sets up the kick and then rushes it a bit. I think he was expecting to take another step to balance, suddenly realised how much faster the game was, and had to kick quickly. On the slow-mo he's not fully balanced, and it looks a bit awkward. Definite hammy stretch.

Still - 2 kicks - 2 targets hit. Best Richmond player in years.

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

Kids gonna make it, his mother has sacrificed
Alot for him and he wants to repay her .

 

[Vassp]

This kid is going to be gold, has the skillset we need. only a few disposals but nailed them under pressure, you can just tell.
Wish him a speedy recovery.

Do we know how bad the hammy is yet?

Don't believe so, most likely scans early in the week. Hopefully its not to bad.

 

[Spluff]

Impact player. Highest disposal count by time on ground in the league.

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

normally 3 weeks

but at richmond in 2023 its 12 weeks

He would have had a scan on Friday. Louie taking a long weekend off though so told the social media girls just to put down 4-7wks

Believe he was available for selection. So our next vfl game most likely.

That's a shame, we can't kill his confidence even more, need to get him back up to speed, if he is fit BTW.

 

[_RT_]

Love the re-signing of Bauer, still think he can make it as a mobile marking CHF

 

[TigerImposter]

Time will tell

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Well done to him deserves the 2 years

Could develop into a more than handy swingman

Definitely a more rounded player than this time last year

Where Bauer ends up long term probably depends on Gibcus.

If they try and succeed at making Gibcus into a key forward, then Bauer would slot in nicely as a Grimes replacement alongside Balta and Young.

Otherwise we probably need to persist with him up forward to see if he can partner Lynch.
