Liam Baker [merged]

[the claw]

We all love the way this little fella plays the game but and i know it will upset people i think we over rate him a fair bit.
I will reiterate i like every one else love the way he cracks in never ever gives up and can be relied on giving 100% every single time he walks across the white line. If only a few others had his intensity.

I just don't think Liam is great in any area of the game but does enough in most to get by and even thrive at times.
You are going to pick him every week for what he brings in effort but boy id really like him to have something in his game that has genuine hurt factor.

Sorry if it offends people i really like the little fella as a player but he just is not as good as tiger supporters rave about.

That sort of post won’t offend people
You are being genuinely decent about how you are putting your thoughts out

The use of paragraphs and decency actually has me thinking you’ve been hacked

Solid year.

good player in an average team that sometimes tries to do too much.

still one of our best and had a very good year. He cracks in unlike many others this year and possibly next.

Hopefully he is in leadership group to replace Grimes.

Baker is elite in one aspect of the game = heart

Speaking on Gettable, AFL.com.au's Cal Twomey said West Coast is one of the six clubs could "go really hard and target" some of the game's biggest names.

Richmond star Liam Baker is another name off-contract that could be in the sights of West Coast, who were interested in the premiership Tiger last year before he recommitted at Punt Road.

Twomey believes both English and Baker will be on West Coast's radar as they look to add to their young list.

"Liam Baker was a huge one for them last year, ended up staying back came pretty close to leaving. In the end they came really, really strongly for him.

"I think he'll be targeted again by the Eagles and probably Fremantle too. He's pretty settled in Victoria and could well be their next skipper as well, but I think he's one the Eagles will go pretty strongly at again next year."

Came pretty close to leaving, absolute crap

As if anyone would take your word for anything after you lied to the club about touring Port's facilities...

Machine Man's continued selection in the side for a start......

To be a joke doesn’t it have funny or am I missing something

[one-eyed]

It's off topic anyway. This thread is about Bakes. Stick to it, folks!

#LiamBaker apparently did a PB for the 2km time trial..
Can see the effort written all over his face.
Like Jack G, he looks a bit slimmer to start this preseason & will be interesting to see what role Yze has in mind for the little Champ..
What are your thoughts on Bakes for '24?

Always thought he should be used as a forward that rotates through the middle. Feel like he’s been thrown into the middle on the odd occasion and proved a real difference maker.
