Marcus Baldwin

[Hazell_rules]

Just wondering if any of you geelong supporters can tell me how Marcus Baldwin is going down at Geelong? I was a huge fan of his when he was at Hawthorn but havent heard alot of him since he went to geelong. I know he played 3 games last year but does he look like he will play again?
If anyone could let me know it would be appreciated!

He kicked some big bags in the VFL last season and I heard he kicked 8 goals on Ben Graham in an intra-club match a few months ago before the Ansett Cup.

I think he played 2 senior games last season. In his first he was brought on late in the game against Melbourne when a win was out of reach. He took three big marks and kicked three goals with his first three kicks. He played the next week against Sydney but didn't do much coming on and off the bench. He was then forced to make way for Barry Stoneham in the final against Hawthorn.

He's on the rookie list again this season and I don't think he got a go in the Ansett Cup. He just needs a chance, but there are a lot of big forwards at Geelong who could stand in his way. (David Mensch, Cameron Mooney, Jason Mooney, Marc Woolnough)

He'll need to keep playing well in the VFL and hopefully for him, they'll give him a spot on the senior list in 2002, but for now he can't play senior footy unless someone is injured long term.

He looked alright against us in the last few mins last year.

Not enough to win the game though

We have enough tall forwards at the moment but if a couple got serious injuries then Baldwin could be promoted.
