Retired #12: Mark Baguley - Will retire at seasons end - 27/8

[fairbump_playon]

He is getting up to Josh Green standard.

Stays in for mine.

He’s heard from the source - corgis belong out the back.

 

[fairbump_playon]

Josh Green like.

See ball - puncture ball with canine incisors.

 

[Dave]

Much as I love his spirit I don’t think we can carry him any more.

 

[quotemokc]

You could make a case that everytime he was one out with Stewart or Blicavs as his direct opponent another forward should have had a better match up.

Without knowing what the coaches want he could actually be performing his role.

 

[Dave]

No doubt, which is why he’s retained his spot when many have been baying for his head. I’m just not convinced that today’s output warrants his retention.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Easy target. Was a very tough day for anybody in the forward line with the way the Cats set up, and our midfield just played straight into their hands.

Geelong get nervous when the ball is on the deck in their defence. We played to their strengths and bombed in high balls all day. *in ridiculous.

Tippa was quiet too, hardly surprising. Baguley had 6 tackles, which is what he’s there for.

Regression to mean after a better than average performance last week. Not surprising.

How many of those tackles were effective?

He just doesn't have the impact he used to have. Any speed he had is gone. You can basically count him out in a foot race. I'd rather Mynott play his role.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Stats wise, about par with Josh Green last year.

 

[BrunoV]

Not sure what to make of 6 tackles when a player is routinely burned in 1v1 battles (whether or not it is because he is being out marked by players he can't go with in the air).

I would not have thought that today would be the day to make any positive comment about our forward pressure (except for a 10 minute stretch in the 1st).

Doesn't look even remotely dangerous out there but he's a fav so whatever.

 

[yaco55]

I suspect Mynott may play his role this week.

 

[eth-dog]

Please drop him for Fantasia

 

[silkybombers]

Just a liability whose only goals are "Joe the goose"

 

[Old Campaigner]

If Ham doesn't mind laying a few tackles I wouldn't mind seeing him in for Baguley

 

[TheFrenchCut]

Woosha running into match committee this week like:

 

[DERO]

Fresh after a spell this week. Going to come back in and kick a goal and give away free kicks with gay abandon.

 

[Vander18]

Cause and effect is clear. No Baguley, no Essendon.

If he comes straight back in, to quote Terry Wallace, I’ll spew up.

it will be fabulous!

 

[boncer34]

With Fantaseeya's name revelation I wonder if Bags really was taking the piss when he told me it was pronounced Bagooley at Crown one night.

Hand up for selection this week. Apparently he was rested last week (though I think the team selection said 'omit'?)

Experienced Bombers Joe Daniher and Mark Baguley have trained well and are also in line to put their hand up for selection after taking time to rest and recover over the weekend.

It was meant to read "omitted for rest, relaxation and recuperation" but they chopped most of it off...

Of course he wasn't dropped! He has been our best forward behind Stringer.

About time we had some good news

 

[DERO]

Must make his signature on a new contract a priority.

You're looking for a new Green, let go....
