How did we all rate Bakes in 2023?

[Damo]

Another 10 from some moron
We must be the best team in the comp

I have a 7

[JP Tiger]

I went with a 7 for Bakes, not for his numbers & stats but because he tried his guts out every week.     

[skiddymcghee]

And for that reason, I gave him a 9.

He was thrown around a lot and took on every challenge.

Should be captain.

[lamington]

I gave him an 8. Always had a dip and his desperation at the contest and his smothers this year have been a joy to watch. He kind of got moved around a lot and I think that affected the constancy of his output but he can definitely hold his head up high that he had a dip most weeks

Well said mate

 I gave him an 8 as well

Would have given him a 9 if not for his "iffy" disposal,. Those over his head handballs are heart in the mouth stuff and as the season went on they didn't work and created alot of turnovers

But never walk away from a game and question his, courage, effort and desperation

[Willy]

7.

Im a big fan but he had some sloppy disposal games.

[mat073]

I see his only negative is his set shots for goal .
