How did we all rate Bakes' season?
-
Would give him an 8. Was brilliant for a good chunk of the season and thought he’d win our b&f around round 15 but tailed off towards the end of the season.
I’m hoping with the giants boys coming in that short is moved back into defence and baker can move back into the midfield rotations which he looked great in at times. He was amazing in that Geelong game and almost led us to victory.
-
7-8 for me but I can only vote 0-4 apparently so will wait until that's sorted.
Had his quiet patches but still largely his reliable and tenacious best self. A real barometer for our team. Club can utilise him in so many places its amazing.
-
All fixed now you can vote past 4 now :rollin

Sheesh thought him ordinary for many games but hey everyone loves a tiger with a bit of go in him.
If one of the WA clubs went hard at him and actually offered something for him id consider it.
-
7 for me

Sorry bud that you cant see it. Yes he is a decent player with a whole heap of fight in him but for me very tradeable.
An interesting exercise would be to ask opposition people what they think he is worth. I have done it and i think if you do you will get a similar answer.

Thought he was okay. Really poor at times and really good at times..with a whole lot of ok in between. Super courageous tho

Agree to disagree then.
I don't wanna trade a barometer/match winner which he sometimes is.
Hugo and Soldo aren't and won't be.

Was disappointing after he resigned.

Will be interesting to see what position he plays with our bolstered midfield

At best he is 8th ranked for the midfield. In a similar boat as Graham Short and himself.
We should be playing Martin, Bolton as rotating mids fwd along with Cumberland and Rioli in front of him as pure fwds. Then theres the talls in JR TL and the need to play Miller as a ruck fwd or Balta as a key fwd.
Down back he is also up against it with Vlastuin, Rioli, Broad, Grimes all very capable of playing smaller and in front of him.
If it comes down to horses for courses or in this case the best credentialled players for the role getting picked then imo he is borderline.

this is why you should stay in the political board posting articles from the ABC. Kid will easily be in the 22

Bookmarked. 😁

This bloke is Mr Fixit for me.
Send him wherever we are struggling.
Can be a real game changer and barometer.

The older blokes will get first crack and Baker along with others have earn it. There will be competition for spots so you would want to have a couple of bad ones unless you are a key forward
