Welcome to Tigerland Jacob Bauer

[Tigerfan]

Yer, love the way he never misses a mark or shot at goal. I'm sure he does it every time.

I guess they don’t get put in the highlight reel

We love Jack's at Punt Rd.
All we need now is the Beanstalk

Killer recruit , welcome to Tigerland.

 

[Elmer]

If he is good as his namesake the racehorse Bauer who was placed in a Melbourne Cup then we look like getting a bargain.

I'd prefer not to lose the GF by a point.

Cost me plenty.

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

Reninds me of, In between the lizard and Gunstan

 

[TigerFurious]

Can’t fault the rationale of the pick, we need forwards. However, at 191cm and 80kg he’s a medium forward and medium forwards have just about the shortest shelf-life of any position on the ground. He needs to be both excellent in the air and at ground level, have good pace off the mark as well as the ability to cover lots of kms.

It won’t be easy but I wish him all the best.

 

[Stackey]

Naughton type!

Needs to wear 24..

The McBeanstalk thread has been quite active in recent days

That’s why it’s called a highlights reel

 

[Harry]

Not sure how he fits into Dimmas structures as he isn't a pressure fwd. Unless they see him as jacks possible replacement.

 

[Berwick boy]

Is he a Bayley Fritsch type? I hope so. And is that the last we see of Parker in the seniors?

Good call...seems a lot Bayley(ish) in those highlights. Lets hope so.

I think Dimma's accepted the need for more forward threats, hence Balta forward to start the year.

This kid has some elite traits. Think it could be a great pick. Fritsch comparison valid. Imagine getting Fritsch with a mid-season rookie pick halfway through his Fothergill-Round year.

After watching Bauer highlights reel can’t help feel he,d be a very good interceptor defender in the Jeremy Howe mould.

Fritsch ?

Apparently was a defender in the Swans academy and only moved forward at Nth Adelaide. Not sure if anyone had seen him as a defender in his junior and/or academy days

 

[spook]

Fritsch ?

Frailey Bitsch.

Our man less of an out the back lurker but will play similar role.

 

[Tiger Pops]

Play him against Port. Nothing to lose, at least will attract another tall defender. Fairytale debut

A debutant, about to put the dagger into the Port Adelaide top 8 chances .

 

[Tiger Pops]

Seems like he has great hands being "only" 191cm. The modern day key forward profile seems to have pushed closer to 200+cm.

Carey was 192cm, Brereton was 186cm, Locket 191cm, Dunstall 191cm

191cm more than OK for a key forward if the skill and capability is there !!

Don't need no pressure if you mark the ball!
