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.

    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?

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

    Our FF Barry Bourke was 179 cms or 5'10.

    Our FB Bernie Massey was 183 cms or 6'.

    Our ruckman Graham Wise was 188 cms or 6'2".

    How times have changed.

    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.

    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!

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.
