Zerk and Ridley cant just stay in the back 50Did you watch the Richmond game when he pushed up the ground and took critical marks pretty much between back flank and wing and just plucked them like low hanging fruit from an apple tree
I don’t want Zerk and Ridley wandering that far out of the defensive zone. You see I want a reasonable structure back there and have Balders as the third tall defender pushing up the ground as an aerialist not so much as an attacking back flanker role such as red dog.
Edit: I’m not talking about Cox and Reid in the future. Baldwin is the bird in the hand the others are the birds in the tree.
Well I think they do their best work back there. Sure they can come up the ground if they have good connection and communication with each other. Just saying it as I see it. If you disagree I’m fine with that.Zerk and Ridley cant just stay in the back 50
Ridley took excellent marks in the same area on the ground today
For the above who want him in the side
He can only replace Zerk or Lav imo, who is it?
Whilst his strength is not necessarily ball in handI’m not a fan of Laverde at all. He’s a black hole with the ball.
Bryan missed 3/4 games due to injury.Think he’d be just ahead of Bryan - really hope Monty’s up there too
Bryan missed 3/4 games due to injury.
But in terms of the BnF, Baldwin has consistently been in the top 3/4 every week. The games Bryan missed Baldwin would have loaded up in.Nah, he's still played in more than half the games if you include the bye... (i.e. 7 of 13 games in 14 rounds)
You could say he's been BOG in his past four VFL games too.
Totally agree Baldwin would be leading as we speak, I don't think Bryan would be all that far behind though.

Doesn’t need to be that convoluted does it? BZT and Weidemann have both been struggling - drop one of them and play Baldwin.I agree with anyone who says we need to find a way to play this guy.
Even Langford to a wing, Martin to the middle, Baldwin forward works for me.
Outside of Bevo not many bring in a guy playing and training as a KPD for a KPFDoesn’t need to be that convoluted does it? BZT and Weidemann have both been struggling - drop one of them and play Baldwin.
Haven’t been a huge supporter of Baldwin but feel like he deserves a game.
Defender Kaine Baldwin suffered a minor ankle injury at training, but should be available for selection post-Essendon’s VFL round 16 bye.
Apart from the one he's missed alreadyAnkle... not expected to miss any VFL games.

He's a tall 193 (look at him next to Hayes). Laverde is a short 193.At 193cm he may cut it at VFL level as a KPD but unfortunately I think he's just too small to compete with the big dogs in the AFL. He's basically a less mobile version of Laverde.

that shot on goal from Lav....maybe he can be a CHF?I'm confident he can make it - he's got more smarts than Lav. And I'm a big Lav fan - he just seems to have carved out a career out of pure will and determination (Lav that is).
Baldwin seems to have a good read on the game.
Worst comes to worst, I'd even keep him as a back up KPF. He's a better forward than Weideman, Jones is always injured, as is Hunter, who should probably be delisted along with Voss.
