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.

    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.

    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!

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
