As good as baker is I can’t remember a single time he’s been the in and under typeThink HB is the easiest of all positions to fill.
Whats not easy is to replace Cotch in the midfield.
Think Baker has the tools to be half as good as Cotch in extracting the ball.
We can speculate if Baker can play midfield but there is only one way to find out, give him a shot.As good as baker is I can’t remember a single time he’s been the in and under type
If he moves into the midfield it would be more of an outside role imo
We would of seen those attributes in his game already around stoppages similar to other players that have eventually become full time mids and in those situations we still see he prefers to be on the outsideWe can speculate if Baker can play midfield but there is only one way to find out, give him a shot.
i was not advocating that Baker should play midfield. Just responding to the question could he play midfield and my response was the only way to really know is give him a shot. I prefer with his run , kick and carry that he plays half back or wing.We would of seen those attributes in his game already around stoppages similar to other players that have eventually become full time mids and in those situations we still see he prefers to be on the outside
It’s also extremely rare for a player who has never played midfield at all to become a midfielder
When he played for subi he was as a small forward
His size lends him to the role of either end of the ground but not in the middle

Tough Little Mother Baker No.01
(deserved a standing ovation from Dimma)
Bloody pissed me off at the time and still does every time I see the footage.
It wasn’t a marking contest, touched off the boot and called play on straight away, hence why Dixon could clean him up.Bloody pissed me off at the time and still does every time I see the footage.
Dixon had no eyes for the ball at anytim, he even had his head down to brace for the deliberate contact.
Baker had eyes on the ball at all times and was marking it.
Clear free to everyone bar the @#$&*% umpire.
He could have been the victim of an assault, so shouldn't jump to conclusions.Been a hell of an off season for the Tigs and Bakes just adds to it.
