He might play second ruck
As we have no second ruck

 

[Meteoric Rise]

Tomorrow will definitely be Jacob hour.

We need the Bauer Smith combo next week. Hope to see Coulthard in soon. Gray would have been nice if he was available too

 

[Chomp12]

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

Bring him straight in

I’m not watching the VFL, but Bauer has had 3 touches up to the 16 minute mark of the last. But yeah bring him straight in…

 

[sante]

Will he be on the list next year?

 

[tunksy]

Will he be on the list next year?

maybe a 1 year. bad injury run

was good down back last year imo but now we have a lot of tall backs. thought he might make a good broad or grimes replacement.

not sure he makes the cut if we are intending to bring in more talls via the draft

Didn’t he sign a 2 year extension last year?



Edit: He did, signed til the end of 2025

Not about possessions. Bring him in soon. Has talent.

No point in having talent if you can’t get the footy

Yep the Cleve Hughes syndrome! Doesn’t have to touch it to be good

Elite space guarder

 

[TigerPaul71]

kicked a great 60 meter goal

 

[Grrr]

No point in having talent if you can’t get the footy

He played full forward on a rainy day, has played only 6 game this season, 5 as a backman, so whilst he didn't get it much, when he did he kicked goals. They were all set shots, one from a long way outside 50, one from the boundary area. He has a great leap and one us multiple games off his own boot when shifted forward at times last year. Super talented, just had a bad year with injuries.

 

[Bojangles17]

He needs an opportunity at senior level , bloody hard to crack into our f50 tho

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Bring him in to the forward line you campaigners

 

[TJTIGER]

Kicked a very good goal from 50 boundary line in wet conditions, never looked like missing…. From live feed had a solid game…

 

[TigerImposter]

Good question as apart from his beautiful set shot at goals yesterday he was hardly sighted
Couldn’t do any worse than Ryan and he got three years.

Playing this week

 

[mauricerioli]

Hopefully he’s in, we need marking power in the forward line, or at least players that compete in the air.
We’re uncompetitive in that area a lot of the time.



Jacob Bauer (six disposals, three marks, three goals)

“Really pleased with Jacob's game. His decisions to impact the game in the air when outnumbered and make the right decision at the right time were crucial. He hit the scoreboard with three goals, but also really helped us nullify Gold Coast’s aerial advantage that they had in the first half, and I thought it was a really selfless game from him as a key forward.”

Playing this week

I'm not sure he's ready, but I guess he's a much better option than playing McIntosh as a tall forward.

 

[SouthernStripes]

Looks like there’ll be rain this Saturday night against the power. I’d have this guy in over Ryan as will offer some better mobility in the wet

 

[lizard man]

I think Bauer really needs to play seniors this coming game. With nank injured Ryan or Kosi will play ruck which leaves a spot vacant in the forward line for him …… we need to get a look at him before the year is out and there is no harm in just seeing what he can do with the opportunity
