You can see why Truck mentioned him when saying he was comfortable with our tall stocks.

On one hand, having another key forward developing would be nice but am really starting to lean towards allowing Baldwin &/or Eyre a year in the VFL.

See how they go and hopefully by years end the other guys capable enough (Reid has been mooted capable enough as a fwd, Eyre obviously, Francis fwd or back) decides which way we go.

But yeah, when you see a kid lifting weights before (pre) pre season, it’s hard not to get excited about his prospects.

A report a few months back spoke about how he was staying back after training and doing a bunch of extra work. He's clearly got the talent, and by all accounts he's got the work ethic, I think the only major query is the knee.

Looks like he’s been in the system for 10 years. No wonder he was a dominant junior.

Talent gets you so far, work ethic and competitiveness takes you past that line of being a good honest toilet imho

We're flush with talent.

All the talent in the world is pointless if you have don’t have a good cistern to go with it.

I hear you. The club would be likely to end up in a trough. No one wants to be stuck in a trough.

Still would prefer high end talent rather than wading through the bottom stock in Werribee.

Geeze Baldwin moves well for a big unit. Put a training clip up on his insta story.

Agreed. Apparently since getting huge Baldwin won’t take any s**t from anyone

 

[DERO]

He is built a bit like a brick shithouse I guess but can he football?

 

[Godzke]

Can confirm the lads have nicknamed him "Propgun" ... hopefully he doesn't misfire for us

He can definitely football the question mark can is, can he stay fit.

His mugshot up the top is giving me WW2 vibes idk why looks slightly thousand yard stare-ish.

Just thought I'd share

Big ears seemed to be a thing back then. I’ve never known if that was because of short back and sides haircuts… or if ears just poked out a bit more.

Could that be because of his old style of head?

A brick shithouse is much better than a s**t brick house imho

I know Rendell says some strange things but it seemed like he had watched him years ago

Taking the big bodied midfielder thing to ridiculous levels….

Taking the big bodied midfielder thing to ridiculous levels….

We have to lead the way in innovation! once upon a time the average FF was prob like 180cm in a few decades the average midfielder will be 200cm+ Due to Essendon midfield destroying the league with their 2 giant midfielders Baldwin & Cox
