Traded #33 - Oskar Baker - The Ginja Ninja

[schmuttt]

Weid kicked 7 goals last week, and now we all hate him.

Rather just let him develop for a year

Baker is like one of three players on our list that have pace.

I don't hate Weid, at least he jumped at the footy and made a contest. Also tried to tackle and pressure. Wasn't a great game, but can't fault his intent.

To be fair Weideman did it against the bottom of the barrel shit team full of suburban players and Baker did it against a side chockers with AFL listed players.

Weid is alright when he gets the ball he just doesn't get enough of it at the top level - eight disposals a game average can't be balanced with intent. Smith marginally ahead of him for me but neither of them threatening to become Wayne Carey (for football or drug induced touching)

Please MFC, for the love of Paul Roos, please bring this bloke in for JKH next week!

 

[Flyswatter]

is he ready? got burned badly with Petty a few rounds ago, and I think he looks a great prospect, just wonder if we'd be doing the same thing again handing Baker a game

No I’d wait until he’s dominating VFL. We have Hannan, Kent or Bugg who would all be big improvements on JKH.

Didn't see much from him in the VFL today

Was it windy or just shit kicking for 4 goals 18

It was windy, but we played just like our seniors. Box Hill killed us on transition, when coast to coast multiple times

He had 3 touches midway through the 3rd. Certainly cant get a game off that

 

[PerfectFooty]

Not offered a contract for next year

Amazing he was offered one last year, ahead of Lockhart for example. I'm sure a great fella, but this is the right call 1000 times.

This thread was a rollercoaster to read again.

 

[Dancing Potato]

A candlestick-maker was traditionally called a "chandler" so that might be our best bet on that front. Some quick googling tells me there actually aren't any Chandler's in the AFL at the moment, so we might have to wait a while to bring this dream to fruition.

Well holy shit, we got closer to making this happen than we thought. Just missing the Butcher.

 

[Dancing Potato]

Baker looks the most exciting prospect out of them all IMO. Bit of Dangerfield about him. Looks physically ready to Play seniors too. Would not be surprised to see him line up in round one in the senior side.

Oskar Dangerfield.

 

[stEdy]

I always admired that he had a crack whenever he came up to AFL

Never had the skill or poise required for an outside player, but you knew he'd always put his head over it

Good luck in the future Bakes

Importantly, this creates an opportunity for a new redhead to be nicknamed Sauce.

Agree. Couldn't fault his effort, just didn't have the polish

 

[mrmonkey]

Just wasn't afl standard, perhaps 10 years ago he would get a better go in our team.

probably would have had a top 3 finish in our b&f back in those poo sides

Considering where Matt Jones and Dean Terlich placed, I reckon you’re spot on.

Your love for Matt Jones is almost up there with Tempy Tiger's lust for Jake Spencer lol
