I think we're planning to use Bauer forward, TP. So any wild ideas I might have about playing Bauer back in the future are out of step with the club's.So you are saying Bauer would make a decent intercept defender (maybe in the Howe mold)??
16.6 in his 6 SANFL games before we took him on.Bauer has kicked 16:12 in VFL this year plus the one today he didn't make the distance from 20 m and the one he passed off from 30m out. Not sure yet if I would call him a lovely shot for goal but despite some brain fades today he had 10 marks and led up high to the wing late to take a down the line mark that was crucial in our win.
A pre-season should do him wonders and learning not to fly against Samson Ryan when Samson has position would be beneficial too, but you can't knock a bloke who wants to attack the footy in the air at all cost.
I reckon he has plenty to work with and offer as a youngster.16.6 in his 6 SANFL games before we took him on.
I think a full pre season and structure of a professional environment will do him good.
Kid lived in 3 different states within the last 8 months. Hopefully some continuity can bring out the best in him. Feel like he’s the type of player who we will know by mid next year if he will make it or not.
I see a fair bit in him too, and think the year he has had chopping and changing between teams and still doing pretty well as such a young guy is a good sign. Also coming from a state that doesn’t have the development yet that others have.I reckon he has plenty to work with and offer as a youngster.
Hopefully JR8 goes around again and takes him to school for the pre season.
The best take the ball at its highest point Checkers, its a great trait to possess.I see a fair bit in him too, and think the year he has had chopping and changing between teams and still doing pretty well as such a young guy is a good sign.

We didn’t get to see as much of it with us than what he has shown before, and not sure if it makes sense to others as much as it does to me but he marks the ball at the highest point. I’m not sure why I rate that so much.
Jack could be great for him. It makes me feel old because I remember a young Jack running around for the allies before he was drafted, then Coburg VFL.
Plus he lived in Adelaide. Will take a few months to recover from that.16.6 in his 6 SANFL games before we took him on.

Yep I will be staggered if he lines up in the backline again.Short lived experiment in the backline.
Over to you son. Good luck
I didn't mind him down back,he got more involved and did a nice spoil on Darcy ,he sort of reminds me of Howe ,but probably not as quick .Short lived experiment in the backline.

Agree. Must happen now.End the farce. Get Bauer in.
He played very well in defence and showed us he’s got a football brain. Made some smart decisions and attacked the contest with confidence.WTF? They played him back?
What were they trying to achieve? He kicked 6 goals in the first 2 weeks. Confidence would have been growing and we send him back. Just as we walk into a KPF problem.
*smile* me we do some dumb *smile*

But think the experiment is over as our hands have been forced. Back to the forward line for now as the VFL and AFL teams are bereft of taller, marking options.
