Good on you Bert.

The boy can play. Love his balance and awareness of what is around him. We have a good one here.

 

Reminds me a bit if when Jayden Hunt burst onto the scene. Hunt took 2 years to get going due to injury and form, and Baker had a similar start with his first year.

Like most inexperienced players they have their ups and downs, and Baker will be no different.

Like Hunt, I see him being able to carve a spot out in our best 22. You can't teach speed, and the modern game needs speedy players.

It would be 'iffy' if he still had hamstring problems ... but it looks like a good recuperation for young Ginger. 

Misso must've done something right then!

Hallelujah, Brother! If he is recuperated (Baker), then maybe Misso had nothing to do with it, this time. He usually enables an encore or two at the best of times with normal footy injuries re-surfacing as longer-term ailments.

Gary the Hardeman - who could forget. He was our best CHB ever, I'd reckon.

You left out a better one, Don Williams. I thought Paul Prymke could have been a great if his back had of held up.

My memory is failing.  But, wasn't Don more a HB Flanker?

Yes you are correct, obviously my memory is failing.

He did play a lot at CHB, fairly confident he was there in September 1964.

Our ruckman was 6'2"  yes they sure have changed Mr Leg. I don't remember Williams playing in the centre however 55 years is a very long time ago.

The great John Nicholls was also 188cms and would be dwarfed by Cripps.

Williams was the centreman in the 64 Grand Final side...

Discussing height is the one thing in metric that I have never come to gripes with, 188 means nothing to me, I have to really work hard to establish if that is over 6 feet or not. However if you say 6'2" I know immediately how big the person is.

What a great side that was!  (Especially the HF line!  LOL).  But, surely Tassie Johnson was the real FB!!  And, I only remember Don Williams on the HB Flank.

I think maybe Misso is very good with muscular injury issues.     But Osteo ?????   and feet, Hmmnnnnnnn. ?

'OD'...  4 inches = 10cms...  12 inches =  30cms,  or 300mm...

4 inches = 100mm...

40 inches  =  1 Metre.  

80 inches  =  2 Metres approx'.

Yes, but strong, aggressive & guile,  and the weight of a Clydesdale.

Hooray for modesty!  LOL

Not only great straight line speed but really good evasive skills too

Would be amazing to see him torch the Pies in a big win today, burning them off with his speed and kicking some goals.

No pressure kid!

  • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

    The Melbourne Football Club has selected a new coach for the 2026 season appointing Geelong Football Club assistant coach Steven King to the head role.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
