Dunno bout Liam meself. Must improve his tackling and shots for goal as he is vying for small pressure forward role and we have George and Rioli

A bit overlooked in the win reading the media articles but that was a pretty decent return game from Baker yesterday playing that small forward/mid mix role. Not only hit the scoreboard with a goal of his own and an assist but won his fair share of contested ball and a couple of centre clearances.

A very solid game and the pass to Lynch for the sealer was pinpoint, thank God George wasn't the one who had to hit the target.

. So true. Castagna would’ve either tried to bounce the ball and over ran the ball altogether or he would’ve hand passed it needlessly to another teammates feet or if he kicked it there’s no knowing where that ball would’ve gone, most likely out on the full or straight in the arms of the Port Adelaide defender.

Career high 21 disposals and a goal from Baker tonight.

[Tiger Khosh]

Looks very promising.

[TFL]

Very good in traffic and his decision making gets better by the week as he plays seniors.
Good hardness too

Confident when he is in possession unlike George who is manic, Baker is very clean with his disposal and really links up well going inside 50. Think the couple of games he played last season have made him feel he belongs at this level.

I wouldn't say really clean. Anyone looks clean compared to Castagna and co. But definitely his most promising game yet.

Still, I feel like he's the kinda guy that, when he's in your ones it means you've got better players out on the sidelines for whatever reason.

He ran into an open goal last night and missed from 30 straight in front- early second quarter.

He also missed a set shot from 30 straight in front last week.

I would hardly say he is very clean with his disposal.

His finishing isn’t great for a crumbing forward.

Agree, big tone, that miss was ...well... pathetic

[Chuck17]

I would give most players a free pass over a kick or two at goal going astray

However a player who kicks approx 6 points and 2 out of full in a game well..........
