Those marks remind me of the great Royce, so if his ground skills and recovery are excellent then we could have a beauty. Good luck to him.

'Ready and roaring to go' - Bauer
Jacob Bauer chats to SEN after being drafted to Richmond via the 2022 AFL mid-season rookie draft.
Loved the interview. Young fella came across pretty well. Can't wait to hear the reports.
I hope he gets Josh and says thanks for helping a dream come true too.

I want to take that another step further and just call him The Hitchhiker.
Given his leap, I'm sure a few defenders will give him a free ride.
Enthusiastic and speaks well of the Club, footy culture and willingness to learn forward craft from both great men in Lunch/JR8!Sounds like a ripper, let's hope he can play:

Looking forward to what he can do at VFL level. He definitely fills a void there.
Realistically though, anything he does at AFL senior level is a bonus as it’s a huge step up and odds are stacked against most of these mid season draftees making it.
But I’ve heard from a few Nth Adelaide supporters that he’s a young man of great character that will do whatever it takes to get the best out of himself. That’s all you can ask.

I like the selection - we have lost Caddy and replaced him with a small tall forward who can take a mark and kick goals.
He is young and adds to this generation of players coming through.

Yes, a bit of a replacement for Caddy but also 5cm taller which helps.
Not expecting him to play AFL this year, young mid season draftee. Let's see how he goes after an AFL pre-season. I like the fact that we picked a young player, not looking to fill a gap, looking to build for the future.

The mid season draft is a free hit at a player that is projecting well, and likely to put themselves in top 30 calculations for the end of season draft. I think Bauer fits that bill. If he keeps going at the rate he has started the season, he'd be well in the frame for a first or second round pick. So we've ticked a box, and can double down on the next best available key forward in November along with best available mids.

Mid-season draft: Jacob Bauer
Mid-season recruit, Jacob Bauer, speaks to Richmond Media on his first day at Punt Road Oval
I stumbled upon this article from a month ago. Jacob's marking, speed, accurate goal kicking and ability to play forward and back ticks quite a few boxes.
"Exciting North Adelaide forward Jacob Bauer bounced back from concussion to further enhance his mid-season draft chances last weekend.
Bauer, who joined the Roosters from the Swans Academy after being overlooked in last year’s draft, booted another three goals on his return against West Adelaide, taking his tally to 13 in just three games, to rank equal-third in the SANFL after five rounds.
The 19-year-old high-flyer started the year in the reserves, after a last-minute move to South Australia, but he put his name in front of AFL recruiters with a commanding five-goal performance on debut against the Crows in Round 2.
In his first appearance at SANFL League level, Bauer took three marks inside-50 opposed to AFL-listed Crow James Borlase, who lined up in a strong Adelaide defence alongside Nick Murray, Josh Worrell, Andrew McPherson and Fischer McAsey.
He followed it up a week later with another five majors and three outstanding contested marks - before suffering a delayed concussion - to further highlight his aerial prowess and confirm what North Adelaide is thinking about his future.
“I’m not sure how much longer we’re going to see him at SANFL level,” Roosters reserves and development coach Darren Reeves told The Advertiser after Bauer’s second five-goal haul against Central.
“He has great hands, takes marks at the highest point, is an excellent kick and is such an exciting talent that I’m sure AFL clubs are starting to sniff around.”
The 191cm Bauer has attracted significant AFL attention ahead of June’s mid-season draft – and it’s not hard to see why.
“Coming up through the Swans Academy, Nick Davis (youth development coach) always said that to get drafted you have to be elite at one thing, so my marking is my go-to trait and what I pride myself most on, Bauer said."
