Didaks shoulder
I know we still have a game to go.... blah blah blah
So I'll presume we get through tonight.
Didak is carrying a bad shoulder. He needs to be stopped. It needs to be tested over 5-6 times early next week. He's in red hot form. I know there is one player in our squad who loves testing out opponents weaknesses.
Needs to be a late change tonight. Will be far more valuable than either Eddy/Dempster in the GF

Baker couldnt play on Didak. He is a midfielder. I dont think there is a match up for Bakes against the pies.jonesy wrote:I know we still have a game to go.... blah blah blah

Bakes' 28 touches and one of the best on ground game against the filth in round 3 might suggest there will be a match up for him somewhereplugger66 wrote:Baker couldnt play on Didak.

We need Baker's speed and tenacity .. I'm not saying he should be on Didak (if we get there)..

He did miss a couple of weeks with the toe,otherwise he's in full training the entire time,with extra work. He's form first up has never ever been an issue in the past,he has a bigger pain threshold than most. He is born to play finals,always been superb for us in finals. It's the only reason he ever got an AFL career,his form in the under 18's was terrible,until the final series where he came of age
So the question is he not in our best 22 when fit? Of course he is. I'm sure they can find a match up for him,he's not a fringe pinch hit player. People comparing him with Max,don't get the comparison. Max's form was ordinary,his body was worse. Bakes form was as good as ever before the conspired 9 week sentence
He plays tonight, next week is round 2 for him,and he's fresh as a daisy

Apart from potting me do you have any footy knowledge at all or are set on making a fool of yourself every post?

He missed our first final through injury.
No one has played for 6 months in round 1. Not one pies player will have missed more than 3 weeks if we play them next week. Match fitness can never be trained for. having said that if there is a match up I wouldnt mind him playing. I really cant see one though unless they recall Davis which may be unlikely.jonesy wrote:None of our players played had played for 6 months in round 1.markp wrote:He hasn't played for how many weeks now?
To me, picking him would be an act of desperation.
He's not coming off an injury. If he was,then fair enough I'd have concerns bringing him in,but he's fit
Well I dont think Eddy has anything to do with Bakes playing. Dempster is the logical replacement and it gets down to whether RL rates Dempster ahead an unmatch fit Bakes.jonesy wrote:Sidebottom,or a 4 time 'shoulder crushed in first 4 minutes' didak resting in fwd line.
Tell me he's not better than Dempster,Eddy.
His match fitness will be fine next week

My guess is there there is still a lot of discussion going on at the match committee on this issue. In my opinion, Steven Baker is much more valuable against Collingwood than the Bulldogs, but he would really have to play this week to play next week. I would take the risk. Anyway, we'll know in 6 hours.

i would take thr risk and play him, at least then next week the coach can then have a choice. otherwise if he does not play him this week and we win, he for sure won't be playing next week!perfectionist wrote:My guess is there there is still a lot of discussion going on at the match committee on this issue.

I only saw a little bit of the game last night as I was out, but I watched a bit of the replay this morning. Besides the part in the last when he was lying on the ground and they showed Eddie grimacing in the stands, there was also another issue in the first half where he got knocked and was definately in pain. Didn't seem to stop him though. And we're clutching at straws if we're hoping for little niggles in their team, though I do think if Ball is ruled out it unsettles their midfield structure.SainterK wrote:Somone effectively tagged him recently, I remember him showing someone the ball in the last after having a pretty ordinary game up until that point?
Not sure he was that hurt, thought he was milking for a free personally.
