Not a key forward, third forward. Mobile enough, smart enough, good enough mark and good enough kick. Just not sure he's gunna get the opportunity with the way we play n deliver into our forwards.

Welcome to Tigerland Jacob Bauer
- Thread starter Tony Braxton-Hicks
- Start date
Can he gather a ground ball, can he lead into small spaces in an AFL game?
I don't know, but either skill would change our forward line and give us some more movement forward which would shift the defenders around and improve our inside 50s.
Sounds like he has work to do but could add something forward with more development. If that fails, he could also make a decent defender.
Persist and see what happens.

You're right and anyone who has watched him the last 12 months would know he's be also a great kick for goal
F me these AFL staff writers are shockers aren't they, they don't watch the games, so just make sh!t up.
"Jacob Bauer had a 21st birthday to remember on Sunday, kicking a goal after the siren to snatch a two-point win for Richmond's reserves against Greater Western Sydney.
With a shortage of key forward options in the senior side at the moment, the VFL game was an audition of sorts for the young Tigers.
The matchwinner was Bauer's only major for the day but he presented well with six marks and 12 disposals, while fellow young forward Kaelen Bradtke also kicked one goal."

Just put on a clinic.
Actually a masterclass. Dominated all day in defence. Swung forward in the last and won the game off his own boot.
And for the second time this year kicked a goal, after a great mark, on the siren to win the game by a point.
Must come in.

Would be awesome if we have unearthed a gem here, given finals are looking shaky I would be using these games to get players like Bauer valuable match time.
Agree, but not cos finals look shaky. Reality is we have a few peripheral players, some of whom arent young, who could be replaced by kids and we wouldnt lose much.
If we are happy to put him up forward, we couldnt do worse than have him replace Miller, or possibly even Jack for a week or 2.
Just saw the footage of his after the siren goal. He had the presence of mind to call out to the bench to see how long left. Shows great maturity and a cool head.
We can don both. Play Bauer and push for finals. Could be our Towner moment.
Replace Miller with Bauer.
Easiest selection decision this week.
Aerially at least, streets ahead of Miller.
