I wanna see him play 4-5 senior games before determining that . Right now he’s done nothing at afl level but opportunities have been very limited , largely attributed to his own physical failings ,,,give him a chance ffs

hes clearly above vfl level, just needs to string some games together in the 1s. personally I see him as a Jordan Ridley type rather than a forward but he's gonna be a player either way.

 

[Morro]

I don't see him as clearly above VFL level. As a ruckman he has done no more than Oliver Hayes is doing right now, and as a forward he does clunk a few marks, but often he has a very distinct height advantage that helps a slot. He has kicked 5 once in 36 games, 4 twice.

He is 3 years backup, which is a good deal for him. He will get better as he gets stronger no doubt, but I doubt he will ever become good enough as a no.1 ruck. He has a good chance this week to play no.1 ruckman. Collingwood do not have grea ruck strength, so it is not a bad week to miss Nank.

Dude, what???? Are you talking about Sampson?

 

[Grrr]

Dude, what???? Are you talking about Sampson?

yes, think I had my threads mixed up, will delete.

 

[Morro]

yes.

Oh, Bauer thread had me so confused.

kids had a forgettable year, injuries and personal problems
which has made him a forgettable player for the % of the year
starved of the opportunity to show what he can bring
Agree .. give the kid a chance and back him in !!

 

[HumanMeatball]

Personally can’t say I have seen much from him but could be wrong

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Contracted for next year

24hr contracts

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

If all goes well I can see him as our version of microcheck

 

[tiger_tough]

It'll be a joke if he doesn't get a run this week.

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Will be named tonight and playing on Sunday

 

[Truetiger]

Will be named tonight and playing on Sunday

With rfctigerarmy let’s hope lol

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Only 5 hours to go until he's named.

 

[tiger_tough]

He should call his parents again

 

[tigs2010]

Blight in, Balta forward. Unlucky Jacob

 

[Madtiger2006]

He and Coulthard named. Hopefully they get in next week if not Sunday

 

[Growapair]

He and Coulthard named. Hopefully they get in next week if not Sunday

We are pretty small without Bauer ... his ability to start back on Howe ... and move forward in the second half would be handy this week

 

[Grrr]

Big match for Bauer. Would be a great fit in the AFL side going forward, but has played only 7 injury interrupted games this year, so not easy to impress. Has a lot of talent. I hope he's a morning person, kickoff 10 am.

 

[TigerImposter]

Disappointing game in the VFL. I think he’s the type that would play better in the AFL than VFL, but I’m still uncertain as it’s not being tested by our coaches as they think KMac and Balta are better forwards.

Jesus you are a hard marker, he was our sole tall player forward of the ball and had to compete in the air against several taller opponents one out in nearly every contest. Some disappointing shots at goal but otherwise a really good effort I thought.

Your thought is as good as your thought is. I thought otherwise as I don’t overrate average games.
