Welcome to the Kennel- Oskar Baker

[MrMahatma]

Some doubted his foot skills and he giggled at them.

Good match. More to come. Bake on baker.

[bornadog]

Good game and a pleasant surprise that he can actually play. Has some aggression as well.

[Bulldog4life]

Full marks to our recruiters for signing up Baker. A great addition.Good kick for goal too. Making the wing position his own.

[bornadog]

I thought Baker was terrific last night linking the back and forwards. Had 7 marks and 20 disposals and used his pace well down the wing.

[bulldogtragic]

Any time you pick up a delisted free agent and they play the first four weeks and average nearly 16 touches, 6 marks, 4 I50s and a goal a game (& .5 GA) you’d be more than happy. Add 388 metres averaged a game on the wing and even more so.

In the big wash to/with Melbourne, we put in Hunter, F3 (Bris), Schache and come out with a F2 (Bris), F4 & Baker (plus huge salary saving). If Baker can really take his opportunity from here out, this could be a far stronger win-win outcome than what it could have been looking at it last year.

His played 4 more games than Schache this year. Baker has been a good return . The fact that Melb are playing VanHoen means Schache is there for insurance

The club made the right call to move Schache on last yeat I feel we may have kept him 1 year too long , and should have kept Young instead who now lools to be permenant in the Carlton backline .

I'm sure Schache's doing everything right and he's just being marginalised and treated unfairly.

A low blow.Schache has had concussion.

His entire career?

[jazzadogs]

He was also no chance of getting picked regardless of his concussion. Brown, McDonald, van Rooyen all ahead of him. Weideman played 10 games for the Dees last year and I doubt Shack even gets to that many.

[ledge]

Why are we comparing Shache and baker?
A better comparison would be Hunter and Baker and I would say they have both been good.
Lobb and Scache would be a better comparison in which Lobb might not have lived up to expectations yet but at least he is showing something and last night he was a lot better.

His entire career?

I think Schache just retired once you finished typing that.

I feel sorry for him if he does, and was only being silly with my post with no offence intended.

I did think that was the case.

Apparently he was concussed a couple of weeks ago and resumed in the vfl on the weekend. one of their better players so hopefully he is OK. Wish the same for Keath, it?s a risky game.
