Welcome to Tigerland Jacob Bauer

Going back a few years, but looks like a Michael Pickering type to me. Good hands and takes a great grab for his size.

Nice leap on him. Type of player we lack so fingers crossed it works out. Good luck Jack.

Maybe Broads replacement if the rumours are true.

Apparently the rumour is that Essendon want to trade for him come the November trade period.
 
Seems like he has great hands being "only" 191cm. The modern day key forward profile seems to have pushed closer to 200+cm.
I reckon it has changed a bit, seems to be now the preferred combo is a big, ruckman-height mobile forward and a smaller 190-ish more mobile player as a KF pair. Kennedy-Darling, King-Membery, McKay-Curnow, ???-Mihocek, and Lynch-Jack, although Jack played the tall, no. 1 role also before Lynch arrived. The sub 193 KF was out of fashion for a while but its come back a bit.

Good call snake. Adding a few more, the Dogs are now going with Naughton-Khamis, Geelong kind of do it with Hawkins-Cameron. Cameron is more of that smaller mobile forward, he doesn't tend to play as tall as he is. Freo only play 1 tall. Melbourne are 1 of the only better teams that play with 2 I guess "true kpfs"
 
Any news on the number?
Gotta be 24 as others have mentioned?
Yeah it's Jacob not Jack.
Still 24 would be nice.
 
He is a little taller but I feel that Jacob could play a similar role for us that Fritch does for Melbourne.
