SEN say Bakes.
Liam BakerHe might’ve already played in two premierships as an important small defender, but Liam Baker has gone to another level in 2021.
Having started his senior career as a small forward, Baker was sent to defence in 2019 and contributed greatly to the club’s second premiership in three years.
In 2020, he finished sixth in the best and fairest as the Tigers won two in a row, playing his role superbly once again.
But from an individual viewpoint, 2021 has been Baker’s most impressive as a ‘Mr Fix-It’ of sorts. He has operated in defence and up forward while adding the flourishing as a midfielder string to his bow.
The 23-year-old has averaged a career best of 20 disposals and is right in the mix for this year’s Jack Dyer Medal.
