Jacob Bauer is one of the best kids I know of. His mother used to work with me and we would go to Swans games together. His Dad is from The Rock and was a good SFL player. Footy mad family from the inner west.
We could do much worse and not many better.

Bauer becomes a Tiger via Mid-Season Draft
Tall forward Jacob Bauer has joined Richmond via the Mid-Season Rookie Draft.
By Richmond Media
1 June 2022 7:30pm
Richmond has selected tall forward Jacob Bauer from North Adelaide with pick No. 10 in tonight's AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft.
The 19-year-old comes to the Tigers after playing six games in the SANFL this season, where he kicked 16 goals and averaged nine disposals and five score involvements per game.
Here's what the Richmond recruiters say about Bauer...
"Jacob was part of the Sydney Swans Junior Academy in 2020-21. While showing talent, he struggled for continuity in his football given the challenges COVID-19 presented. He then decided it would be best for his game to move to South Australia this year and play with North Adelaide in the SANFL. After earning a league game in Round 9, Jacob has not looked back, kicking 16 goals in his six senior games playing as a mobile tall forward. His strong aerial ability combined with ability to cover ground make him a difficult match-up.
"We believe that Jacob has considerable potential given his rapid rise this year. He has a terrific attitude and will greatly benefit from working with our coaches and experienced forward group."

Credit where it's due. Mitch Cleary was on the money.
Jacob Bauer
Bauer was overlooked by Sydney during last year's draft process, having graduated from the club’s Academy system. He has since moved to North Adelaide, and into the forward line, where he's had an immediate impact with his athleticism and high-leaping marking ability. The 191cm forward kicked 13 goals from his first three SANFL games, with clubs noting some strong AFL attributes particularly in the air. Still just 19, and still adjusting to his new position in attack, clubs believe there is plenty of growth remaining in his game.

North Adelaide forward Jacob Bauer tipped to be a certain selection in AFL mid-season draft
News.com.au
25 May 2022
A high-flying prospect from NSW capable of playing at both ends of the ground shapes as a certain selection in next week’s AFL mid-season draft.
Jacob Bauer went undrafted last year out of the Swans’ Academy but has piqued the interest of at least six AFL clubs with a blistering start to the SANFL season for North Adelaide.
The 19-year-old is one of 14 prospects who will undergo medical testing ahead of the June 1 draft, with players requiring multiple clubs to nominate them.
Most of that group is tipped to find an AFL home on Wednesday week.
Bauer has requested an 18-month contract if he is drafted, which would take him through to the end of the 2023 season.
It’s believed both Sydney clubs – the Giants and Swans – Collingwood, Essendon, Richmond and Carlton are all showing interest in the 191cm swingman, who’s kicked 15 goals in five senior games this year.
Bauer’s averaging nine disposals, almost three marks inside 50 and five score involvements per game.
After the teenager starred down back in a pre-season trial game against the Crows’ reserves then started the season in the reserves, the Roosters swung him forward with great effect.
The only match Bauer’s missed since was because of a concussion.
Among his 15 goals were consecutive bags of five, with his North Adelaide coach Jacob Surjan, who played 121 AFL games for Port Adelaide, saying he had matured with his move from Sydney to Adelaide.
The knock on Bauer from clubland is his ground-ball and contested work, but Surjan said he was already showing improvement.
“He has a great ability to mark the ball and read the flight of the ball in the air. He’s really competitive as well and he’s a beautiful set shot,” Surjan told News Corp.
“He knows the areas of the game that he needs to get better at, but he’s got a lot of things that AFL clubs need and like.
“I don’t think he needs to get bigger, but he just needs to get stronger in his body and with his contest, and if he gets into an AFL environment, he’s got plenty of time for that.”
As opposed to other state league coaches who have been disgruntled about losing promising players during a season, Surjan could not be happier for Bauer.
North Adelaide has targeted Sydney as a fertile recruiting ground but Bauer actually contacted the club after seeing some of his peers head there.
“I’m going to be very excited if Jacob is potentially the first development kid drafted through the mid-season draft from North Adelaide,” he said.
“Part of our job is obviously to win premierships at our club, but we still know that we’re a feeder competition to the AFL and we need to try to develop kids to try and get into the AFL as quickly as possible.
“Jacob’s development in the last little bit has been great. He’s very driven, he wants to get the best out of himself and he’s a really humble kid.”

He has some good traits. Looks very strong overhead, which is great for a forward. He needs to mold a few kg's of puppy fat into some hard muscle & then he will become quite a weapon.
Looks like a good project to work on. :pray
-
Heard the young man talk on SEN if he plays as good as he speaks weve got a star. I like his highlights. Ive always believef that good sides need a good 3rd tall. He can kick from 50 post high. Takes a good grab which means we can use him as a target kicking it out of our defence. Hes come from tge Sydney Academy which is good and hes played sgainst men in the SANFL. Its a good selection.

Wow. Hope he is as good as he sounds. Good pickup methinks.
-
I feel like there is less pressure as a mid season draft and I reckon he’ll
Benefit greatly from that. A lot of picks a long the way would
Have benefit from less pressure, less exposure. I still think Ben Lennon could have been a handy player if drafted a few years later when we were successful.
All the best for the young man and hopefully he can crack the seniors!

Learning off Jack Riewoldt and Tom Lynch
“Things I learned off the North (Adelaide) forwards was stuff I couldn’t get back home, and now I’m with arguably the two best tall forwards in the comp. It’s going to be massive for me in moving forward as a key forward. The things they’ve both been able to do, and the things I’ll be able to learn off them, is really invaluable. So, whether I play straight away, or not play for a couple of years, I’ll be able to learn off two great forwards in the game currently.”
Moving in with Josh Gibcus
“That’s the plan. I haven’t spoken to him much, but I think we play pretty similar, and we look pretty similar with our body types. So, I think we’ll get on pretty well. I’m super keen to meet all the boys and start developing some relationships.
Ready to go
“I think the SANFL geared me really well for that . . . The SANFL is one of the best state league comps, so the jump to VFL, I think, will be quite seamless. I’ve already proved myself at the SANFL standard, so I do feel like I can carry that through into the VFL. I think the way I play I definitely do have a lot of AFL qualities I can take through. The only difference might be just adapting to structures . . . But I’m a footy ‘nuffy, so I’m ready to go straight away. Whenever I’m called upon, I’m ready to go.”

Richmond's Rising Star Sets 2023 Up For Success
Watch here: https://www.facebook.com/athletesauthority/videos/517027626545192/
Here’s an insight into Richmond FC’s young gun Jacob Bauer's session with us as he prepares for his first AFL pre-season.
After getting the mid-season call-up in 2022, he didn’t get the opportunity to prepare with the squad — he was straight into the thick of it.
He realised this off-season training was crucial if he wanted to play the best football of his career going into the 2023 season.
He knew that the gym would help him be:
✅ Faster to the ball.
✅ Stronger in the contest.

Good on him
Great to see

Bauer power
AFL Media
1 July 2023
For the second time in a month, Jacob Bauer is the hero for Richmond’s VFL team with a match-winning, set-shot goal after the siren.
He did it against Greater Western Sydney at GIANTS Stadium in early June. And he repeated the dose in yesterday's clash with a formidable Brisbane outfit at Brighton Homes Arena.
After dominating down back for the first three quarters of the match, Bauer was again shifted forward by coach Steve Morris in a bid to provide the Tigers with a spark.
Bauer responded superbly with three final-term goals from the 18-minute mark onwards, including the post-siren match-winner following an excellent mark, to secure a one-point win for Richmond.
He told Richmond Media in a post-game interview how he approached that crucial set shot.
“Obviously I’ve been in that position before, so I just wanted to know if the siren was going to go. Take my time and I backed myself. I know I’ve got a good routine, so just make sure I do that and don’t take any short-cuts,” Bauer said.
The talented 21-year-old, who was recruited by the Tigers in the 2022 AFL mid-season rookie draft, also spoke about his growing status as a swingman within the team.
“Happy to do my job down back first. Pretty cool to be able to go and have an impact at both sides.
“It’s been something that I’ve been working on, and I’ve been doing pretty much my whole career.
“So, pretty happy with how I went today.”
Bauer was best on ground, finishing the match with 21 disposals, 11 marks and a game-high three goals.

Bring him in. Either play him as a second tall forward to help jack or an intercepting defender instead of young or a swing man who can do both. Either way surely he’s getting picked this week.
-
My read on Bauer is that he's not big enough to make it as a key forward/defender at AFL level, so he's caught between KP and being a flanker and a wingman but isn't quick or clever enough for that either. At least that's what our hierarchy believes.
After a performance like that, if he's not picked next week then you'd have to think he's never going to get a shot. But I wouldn't be picking him as the second tall, more as a third tall cum swing defender.
-
I think if you can mark like him then 192 or whatever he is, is tall enough. He can jump too. It’s not like we are asking him to play like lynch, just attack the contest and at worst bring the ball to ground ( if in the fwd line). The guy can obviously play
-
Nothing wrong with those Bayley Fritsch types that annoy the poos out of opposition supporters.
If he’s good enough he’ll keep his spot.
He deserves the opportunity
-
Just play him

Reckon he has the height at 192cm to play kpp or third tall he only needs to bulk up to have the attributes to play kp.
Jack Riewoldt ring a bell. Just 193cm and 92kg plays kp pretty well.
Jack Gunston at just 193cm and 87 kg was a perfect foil for Franklin and Roughead.
The fella at Adelaide Fogarty just 193cm tracking along nicely id say plays kp because he has the bulk and strength that enables him to play kp. Treacy, Van Rooyen, Ash Jonson all 193 and looking good.
While on Collingwood Mihocek 192cm. Curnow the coleman medalist 192cm,
There is plenty Darling held down kpf for wce at just 191cm.Georgiades at Port just 191cm but a real areal threat maybe not kpp size but he still offers genuine height and that areial presence that tall fwds have to have.
I think what gets lost here we largely have just JR and Lynchy then its a plethora of small fwds with no genuine fwd around the 188 - 192 range.
Have complained for years about the lack of medium fwds or for that matter medium players. We have relied on Dusty to play fwd primarily a mid to get a real point of difference between the KPF'S and small fwds.
Bauer to me should be developed as a third tall a lot like Gunston and if he bulks up and gets the power and strength to play kp then so be it. He is currently good or strong enough in the air to warrant a tall player to play on him. If he is to be a defender then we need look no further than Grimes to see what type he could be and thats much more than just a hb or wing.
As a defender Grimes is not big 193/90 0dd kg, Broad 192/90 odd. both imo are not kpp,s but no one is saying they are inbetweeners
and are only good for wing or hb. They when needed play on all types and its their height that allows them to do this.
Any way enough from me just have to say though if the club have him pencilled in as you say then they are wrong imo.
Atm with no Lynch, Bauer and Riewoldt with RUCK/FWD Ryan look to be an ideal sort of set up imo.
Its been my opinion all year that Miller should be playing kpd instead of Young.
-
Bauer's roughly the same size Riewoldt was but looks more agile, versatile(plays both ends) and maybe a yard quicker -(not saying he'll ever reach Jack's level though.) :shh
-
Jack is taller than cousin Nick, and much heaver than Bauer (at this stage). But that's a long way from my point, which is that my read is that our hierarchy believe he isn't tall or heavy enough to play KPF at AFL level, so that's why he's been moved down back to see how he goes. There is a world of difference to playing on VFL defenders when you step up to AFL standard. In fact I reckon that os the hardest jump to make as a prospective AFL player.
I see most agree with me, that he should be picked as a 3rd tall. We don't have a good option like that, and he might succeed in that role. I just wouldn't be picking him as an alternative to Lynch or Riewoldt or a ruckman.
-
Jack is almost the identical size as his cousin which surprises me i always thought Nick to be bigger. But thats neither here nor there one ot two kg or one or two cm its irrelevant.
Its about where they may get to and Jack at the start of his career was listed at 192 and 86kg Jacob Bauer is currently listed at 192 and 85kg.
Who really cares if Bauer never becomes a KPF, regardless he remains a genuine tall player who is strong in the air. If he ends up playing kPP that would be great but if he ends up as a good third tall type like say Gunston then id say everyone would be as pleased as punch.
For the club to not play this kid because they think him an in betweener then they are wrong imo.
The goal should be to play him alongside both Lynch and Riewoldt as that genuine third tall threat in the air just like a lot of clubs do with similar types.He is quick and agile enough to not be a liability as far as defense goes. The bottom line is if he was at another club and played against us his logical opponent would be Grimes.

Bauer debuting this week.
https://www.richmondfc.com.au/news/1371782/
Bauer was the hero for Richmond’s VFL team for the second time in a month last Friday, kicking the match-winning goal after the siren.
After dominating in defence for the majority of the match, Bauer was moved forward in the final quarter. From there, he kicked three final-term goals from the 18-minute mark onwards to secure the Tigers' win.
The swingman was best on ground, collecting 21 disposals, 11 marks and a game-high three goals.
Bauer, former Sydney Swans Academy player arrived at Tigerland in the 2022 Mid-Season Rookie Draft via SANFL club North Adelaide, taken with pick 10.
The talented 21-year-old booted 16 goals in nine VFL matches last year and has impressed at both ends of the ground this year with his strong aerial ability.

Personally I don't think he deserves it yet
long injury layoff, first couple of games back were underwhelming and 2 reasonable ones in the last couple off weeks
Needs to earn it IMHO and he hasn't yet
-
McQualter wouldn't say tonight which end of the ground Bauer is playing on Thursday night. We've got match committee on Wednesday. Mini just said Bauer is flexible to play either key forward or key defence.
-
Now watch em dump him as quick as you can blink if he has a quite one. Thats if they even give him a decent go.
Just watched the first two quarters and a half of the Brisbane game and that was enough.
If Miller as a kpd and Nyuon are not better options than Young then we need to delist all three what the hell are we doing down there.
Watched big Miller closely and he will never make it as a fwd and if honest as hes a player ive backed in we probably need to delist him regardless.His only chance is as a kpd.
How insipd and poor are so many of our players and its not a reation to this game ive gone on about it even thru our premiership years.
Its one thing thing to have enough great players who can carry ordinary blokes to success but when they age and can no longer do it it means your not just looking to replace the great ones but the hangers on as well.
Boy are we in for a long period of gloom while we keep on kidding ourselves the good times are not over.

Started forward and was involved from the start. The 5 minutes he spent on the ground was enough to suggest we have a player.

Hopefully it’s low grade hammy then and he can potentially have another crack at it later in the season.

BAUER POWER CONTINUES AT TIGERS
– Riley Beveridge
afl.com.au
27 July 2023
RICHMOND is set to sign promising utility Jacob Bauer to a two-year deal.
Talks progressed on a new deal for Bauer prior to his AFL debut against the Swans earlier this month, with the Tigers nearing an agreement on a multi-year extension that will take the youngster through to 2025.
Bauer, who rose to prominence after kicking two after-the-siren winning goals in four matches at VFL level, had impressed playing as both a 192cm marking forward and intercept defender in Richmond's reserves side.
He made his AFL debut against Sydney, but was unfortunately forced to be substituted out of the game after just 78 seconds having hurt his hamstring with only his second kick of the match. The Tigers are hopeful he will return this weekend.
Bauer was a mid-season rookie pick for Richmond in 2022.

Didn't get much of the pill but his aerial potential and that beautiful kick at the end show why he needs to play every game left this year.
-
Yep.
-
Bauer's first full game:
4 disposals (3k, 1h, 1c, 4u, 50% eff.)
2 marks
1 F50 tackle.
1 inside 50
75 metres gained
2 score involvements
1 goal
76% time on ground.

Has definitely shown AFL traits among his 6 posessions at this level so far but was on a hiding to nothing tonight. Throwdogs were up the other end most of the time and there wasn't exactly silver service when it did come his way. :shh
-
I'd play him for the remainder of the season as a forward
Beautiful set shot for goal

Agree, but not as a KPF. He's a 3rd tall, flanker.

Honestly we should play Bradtke, Ryan and Bauer all forward for a bit.
Rest Jack.
-
Well we only have two games to do it now because unless he's going around again next year (hopefully not) there's no way Jack won't be playing the last one. :shh

Yep that should be his farewell game.
Bloke needs a rest. Play the kids and get jack cherry ripe for a 6 goal send off

agree,

Agree but it does not have to be as a fwd. Lets see what a Nyuon has to offer as a fwd before we delist him and see haow he JR and Ryan go together. Nothing to lose and plenty to be found out and hopefully gained.

Agree atm he is not a kpp but would make an awkward third tall or flanker match up.

After Nyuon's efforts (and i use that term very loosely) on Saturday in the VFL are any indication he won't be getting a game any time soon and rightly so. Looked totally disinterested
-
Biggy probably knows he's gone. Personally think we've missed a big trick not developing him primarily as a ruckman. :shh

McQualter commended the efforts of young Tiger utility player Jacob Bauer, who booted two goals in just his third AFL game.
“Jacob showed some great signs up forward,” he said.
“We got him some minutes down back late in the game as well. We know he can play both ends.”

Thought he competed really hard which is exactly what you wanna see from a young player. The goals will come

The Undroppable: Jacob Bauer
He might not have had a heap of it, but the Tigers must persist with Jacob Bauer.
With Jack Riewoldt potentially nearing the end, and while Tom Lynch remains sidelined, the club needs to find a competent mid-to-key sized forward.
Bauer at times looked decent against the Saints, returning two goals from nine disposals and four marks. He is definitely a threat in the air and will only benefit from more exposure at the elite level.
The 21-year-old must be kept in the senior side for the next two weeks as the Tigers begin to look to the future.

Beautiful set shot for goal
Reminds me of Jeff Hogg
They also liked swapping ends with Hogg
Looking forward to the Olympic Stand riots whe he starts at full back

I really like this kid. Bauer.
I think he has what it takes.
-
I agreed , looked a class above today
-
Nope delist him he is just too tall for a fwd. Now where is the 175cm defensive small fwd we desperately need.
-
65m easy
Straight in for Jack you'd think
-

100%
You forgot to mention the defensive small forward we desperately need can weigh no more than 65kg and be a left footer.
-
He looks like our only natural tall forward ( besides lynch )
Not overly tall but athletic enough, great mark and kick.
He could be our charlie curnow, just gotta get the games into him now and make him the focal point along with lynch.
Would love jack to stick around and help develop him and any other young forwards we may acquire

Jacob Bauer has committed to Richmond on a new two-year deal
Emerging Richmond forward Jacob Bauer has put pen to paper on a fresh two-year deal, tying him to the Swinburne Centre until the end of 2025.
The 21-year-old joined the Club with pick No. 10 at the 2022 AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft via North Adelaide and the Sydney Swans Academy.
Bauer started his Richmond career well with 16 goals from 9 VFL matches in 2022 before taking his game to a new level this season and being rewarded with senior opportunities.
After becoming a dominant player at VFL level, both forward and in defence, Bauer earned his AFL debut in Round 17 against Sydney.
The youngster had two early disposals that night before a hamstring injury ended his night in the opening minutes.
Bauer returned to the lineup in Round 21, booting goals in his next three senior games to finish the season with a return of four majors from four AFL matches.
The 192cm strong aerial player averaged 14 disposals and five marks across 13 games at VFL level.
Bauer also booted an accurate 15.6, including four hauls of three or more goals from the games he played as a forward.
Richmond General Manager, Football Talent Blair Hartley said that Bauer’s contract extension was a reward for his strong progression.
“Jacob came on this year as a reliable key position player at VFL level, honing his craft at both ends of the ground before ultimately earning his place as a forward,” he said.
“It was pleasing to see Jacob get a taste of AFL football, and that, along with this thoroughly deserved two-year extension, should give him great motivation to continue to work hard next season.
“We are pleased with Jacob’s development and look forward to seeing what he can achieve with further opportunities.”

Still torn on what end of the ground he should play.
The need for tall fwds is great and has everyone thinking thats where we need to play him including me. Trouble is i think he would make an ideal replacement for Grimes in the back half.
My thinking is if we play him back then we could continue to get games into Ryan as a fwd/ruck. I still like the idea of a resting ruckman like Ryan playing alongside Lynch and Koschitszke.
Would Trade Soldo looking for a deal that would get us a decent second round pick. If Ryan is any good he will continue to improve. Would look for a very cheap mature ruck option as back up if we did a deal for Soldo.

I think the club is hoping Brown will replace Grimes.
Bauer is 192 so hardly more than a medium tall which we haven't had in god knows how long.
Lynch, Kossy (if we get him), Ryan and Bauer year maybe that's too tall but let's be honest Lynch will likely go down injured at some stage and the wet winter games just simply aren't suited to Ryan. I reckon we could have them all as forwards.
Imagine if Lynch is injured for a long period again and we are relying on Kossy, Ryan and Bauer as our tall forwards with Bolton, M Rioli etc as our smalls gee it looks bad to me.
-
How does Brown go from 186cm to 193cm in one season. Im very suspicious of that measurement.
To be honest i have not seen much of Brown since he was drafted but i dont see him as a strong marking aerialist even if he has grown 7cm.
I look at him more as a running type. More like a broad than a kpp.
Bauer looks at home in defense and is strong in the air and should be able to play tall and small if need be.
Hoping like mad they prioritise youth and players like Grimes, Miller, Soldo, Pickett, McIntosh, Short and Graham become the backup.
I just think we need to get serious about getting games into Ryan and Bauer and with Lynch and Koschitzke coming then a way to do that is play Ryan as the second ruck playing fwd and Bauer in defense.
Hardwick and McQualter were very keen to play older blokes in all sorts of roles at the expense of kids. Time to make room and give some of the kids roles that may not be their best role to ensure we get games into them.
If Koschitzke does come then something like this would great and where we need to be.
B: Vlastuin - Balta - Bauer
HB: Rioli - Gibcus - Brown
C: Banks - Taranto - Broad
R: Nankervis - Martin - Bolton
HF: Clarke - Koschitzke - Cumberland/Campbell
F: Ryan - Lynch - Coulthard -
INT: Hopper - Prestia - Baker - Sonsie - Ross.

Hate bringing up my own posts but this sort of happened so the fwd set up in an attempt to get games into both Bauer and Ryan should be koschitzke, Lynch and Ryan with quick skilled smalls at their feet who are actual fwds..
Jacob should now play in defence imo and i still think he is a logical Grimes replacement.
Grimesey had better watch out there may not be a spot for him especially if this years form continues next year.
What we need to do now is pick up a mature delisted ruckman or state league ruckman who can play if need be.
-
Only thread i can find on the kid. Just thought at this point in time it would be best to keep this one going as not much has been written about Jacob.
Im just wondering if people know how hes gone this preseason so little about him has been written or spoken.
Has he been injured.
Having seen so little improvement in Ryan especially being physically ready im hoping this kid can develop and play as a tall mobile fwd along the the lines of say a bayley Fritsch.
Any way any info on him anyone.
-
Has been injured
-
Yep disappointing, had high hopes for him this year
-
thanks i thought as much.
At this point in time no one knows if he will make it. Like most who get to a list he has some good traits.
Me WHEN i look at the list and our FWDS it seems we either have KPP'S or smalls with nothing in between apart from Dusty who is going to spend most of his time in games as a mid.
Jacob would be ideal, not kpp size but tall enough at 192cm. Imo he plays a lot more like a marking medium than a tall. He is not slow covers the ground nicely and takes a good grab kicks the ball well as well..Playing someone like him means if we also have two kpf's we are not too tall and cumbersome.
When he gets fit if he shows enough then id really like to see Lynch Koschitzke and Bauer in the front half. Put Bolton, Cumberland and say seth Campbell at their feet. This allows us o play Balta and Gibcus in tandem as key defenders.
When i look at our midfield i still strongly believe Both Bolton and Martin need to play mostly as mids.
Im over us playing mids as forwards and thats not aimed at Shai or Dusty who could play either role to a very high standard fact is they are needed more in the midfield. No point having them fwd if the ball comes in crap or hardly gets down there.
we have constantly in recent years played Baker Pickett Mansell Graham and i know ive missed a few over natural fwds.
The trouble is it actually shows and is killing us.
Yep if worried about pace and opposition running it out too easy then Jacob as our third marking target is a far better option than playing two ruckmen or a ruck fwd or a third kpp.
Such a shame he has been injured and has not been able to stake a claim.
Still think Dusty and Bolton start mid and say spend 60 or 70 percent time there and rotate fwd changing with the likes of Sonsie or Campbell
both imo can play midfield.
The other one id like to see us start fwd and give a block of games to is Cumberland.
Imo the trouble with picking players like Sonsie Cumberland Campbell Clark well it means reputation have to bent a little. That to me seems to be the biggest reason why these kids are not getting a regular go.
Lets get back to 2017 where we just played players where they are best suited ie natural fwds fwd Natural backs back and Mids in the midfield.

Another one get games into him.
-
Well he is not posted on todays injury report update.

Well he is not posted on todays injury report update.
He was injured a couple of weeks ago, that's why he didn't play the weekend against Melb
Should be right to go this week for the VFL praccy game I believe
-
He’s not listed in the squad for today and not on the injury list…
-
Is he still not playing today ? I havent spotted him. So not injured but hasn't played in any practice games... wtf ?
-
Gone back to Campbelltown to be in the next Spanian video... :shh

Unfortunately, versatile youngster Jacob Bauer will miss 4-6 weeks with a hamstring strain after suffering the injury at training last week. Bauer had been building match conditioning after an interrupted pre-season before the injury occurred.

Second hammy in under 12 months and is only young.. .the mismanagement conspiricies are getting louder

Just a freak injury, nothing to see here.
-
He should see that same surgeon we send our players too and see if he can arrange some other infections and setbacks.

3rd actually
He did his hammy in his 1st game
And tweaked it in the pre-seaon

I hate Kane Cornflakes, but he is right. Questions now need to be asked. Too many reoccurring incidents are happen . It's no longer just coincidence or poo happens .
-
Pathetic our condition and fitness needs a clean up.
-
Do we know for sure that it's a hammy, or is that the club's way of protecting his privacy?
Not happy with Meehan, but just positing the question...
