Early days. But as with most preseasons there's usually someone who goes way under the Demonland discussion radar. 

Curious why it's this bloke? Dunkley, Bedford, Lockhart, Sparrow etc. getting mentions. 

Third season in - got some exposure last year. Showed some promising glimpses. 21 years old. 

Some interest around Murray and then Ash in the draft. Baker has some similar highlights off half-back. 

What is it? Do we think he won't step it up? Unfashionable recruitment path? Written off already?

 

 

 

Needs to be more damaging in my opinion. Showed some glimpses and has some pace. Maybe with a more functional forward line and more options he can become a bit more adventurous. 

 

He really impressed me in the small sample size this year. He will need to add some diversity to his role if he wants to crack into the team.

He'll have to work hard and earn his place with the acquisition of Tomlinson and Langdon on the wings.

Thisis the beauty of further increasing our depth.

The young guy have to work even harder.

I feel like our overall depth in 2018 was better than last season (except for the ruck position).

We had guys like Pedersen, Tyson & Vince who weren't there this year.

I think our depth will be very good next year with a lot of second year players in Sparrow, Nietschke & Jordon.

Plus another pre-season into guys like Baker & Spargo.

We then add Langdon & Tomlinson plus potentially a DFA like Mitch Brown and our depth is much better.


I haven't seen him out there in any of the pics or mentioned in any of the reports. Has he gone under the radar as mystery injury/absence?

Absolutely.

To be honest I was a bit disappointed with his form last year. One of tbe few to hsve an uninterrupted preseason, his best position was vacant and had a chance to cement his spot.

Showed some glimpses but for mine simply did not impact enough, dissipated in games and disposal iffy.

If not wing where does he play?

Did not have an uninterrupted preseason. Was in rehab with Melksham for long parts of the summer after his 2 hamstring injuries in late 2018. Started the season very slowly once the vfl started.

I thought his kicking was far better than expected. The penetration was there and decision making was solid. Just drifted out of games and they didn’t trust him defensively so moved him forward a lot. 

If he can run at afl level he’ll be a player. Unfortunately he’s currently MIA for preseason. 

Wheres he at @Satyriconhome

Needs to get significantly fitter and stronger so that he can impact games for longer. Currently seems to go hard for a couple of contests and then disappear for long periods whilst he recovers. Good news is that he has two years to work on this.

Agree 100% binman, I have seen him a bit at Casey and he plays in a similar way there. Has a good quarter then seems to go missing.

Now I saw him 5-6 times last year at Casey I doubt he would have made the seniors if not for our long injury list in 2019.

I am doubtful he will make it.

Was one of the few highlights from last year.

Was very impressed with his poise.

That probably says more about our highlights reel last year than his ability CB

Edited by old dee

I wouldn't write Baker off just yet. He has ability and may become one of our better players. Time will tell.

I assume you are missing a question mark.

For some reason i thought he had a full presason. Gives me some more confidence that he didn't in so far as if he can have one he might go to a better level. Is he currently injured?

Bit of an issue, but will leave until it is official

Clue please.  Injury related or attitude/off-field related?

This is what I'm curious about. He made his debut last year after an interrupted 2018. He seems to be judged by some other measure than a few of his peers.

Please don't.

Fair comment.

Perhaps I'm judging him a bit harshly. My assessment is influenced by the fact I thought he might be the sort of player who thrives at a higher level. Someone wirh a real x factor. I half expected him to slot straight in and light it up. Like a Sydney stack or higgins. Which he didn't.

I'm not writing him off and he could well make it. But he might have to recent himself. Maybe as a dashing hb.

didn't show that at all tonight. Sat on his hands and knees after he lost a contest whilst Walters lead into a paddock of space which he could've filled. He is one of the first on the delist list, which is a shame because he really has the outside run we need; but his footy IQ and skills are not AFL standard

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
