Player Watch #43 Jacob Bauer

Cumberland better hurry up

i agree

been a fan for a while now, from the start - but - he needs to make the most of this opportunity right now ....

 

[fargothegreat]

Does he play back or forward in the VFL this week? I'm torn because I think long-term he should be a back, but his path into the ones is probably a bit easier as a forward.

Probably back if our forward line can function. But who knows this crazy year

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Straight in?

 

[Madtiger2006]

I want Bauer, Smith, Hayes Brown, Green in the team NOW
RIGHT BLOODY NOW

 

[fargothegreat]

Straight in?

If we rush Bauer into the ones with no form behind him we're setting him up to fail. Then his confidence will be shot.

Play him on the wing ... that way he can take hangars in both the backline and forward line

Straight in?

It was ribs, not soft tissue

Everyone else gets rushed in

It's been more than one injury. I don't think he's managed to play two full games in a row yet this year. And when he has played, he hasn't exactly been bursting the door down.

All 4 will get injured now with the MT kiss of death

 

[SA_Tiger11]

Get him right. Give him the last 3-4 games of the year.

Big pre season, whack on a couple of Kg’s.

Love me a solid 3rd tall option.

 

[THE_GUN]

Knowing this kids luck he will cop another injury 5 mins into the VFL game

Looking like a delist to me at years end

 

[tiger_tough]

Get him in. Forward or back who cares.

Yep.
Given the amount of picks we will have, I'd say he is in the firing line.

 

[Morro]

Yep.

His height will save him, we are not in any position to delist anyone over 6 foot

 

[Chomp12]

I’ve never understood the hype around him over the last 1-2 years?

He hasn’t shown enough to warrant another year on the list I wouldn’t think.

Maybe jump on board instead of thinking about it too much.

Bring him straight in

Bring him straight in on the back of what?

 

[Cam Payner]

Now I feel like a Chomp...haven't had one for years...are they still only 50 cents?

 

[Bojangles17]

Yep.
Given the amount of picks we will have, I'd say he is in the firing line.

Always in the medical room still we don’t know if he can step up to afl level , good at VFL , no real form at senior level

 

[Wooden Robot]

An indictment on our list, but I think he’s a lot like plenty of other blokes on our list.
That is, the less you see of the, particularly in the seniors, the bigger the reputation they seem to earn!!

 

[Madtiger2006]

Yep.

Nah we have at least half a dozen who will go before. Martin, Colina, Grimes, Naismith, Baker, Pickett and who knows with Prestia and Lynch. Graham might be traded. Bauer could be a good one
