[Vassp]

great news

Next captain

I always thought it’d Vlastuin but now I’d be thrilled if Bakes takes over the captaincy! He’s as tough as they come what a great leader he’d make!

 

[a_fighting_fury]

The most watchable player in the team right now, love him!

Named 2022 AFLPA most courageous player

Very well deserved!

 

[Swanks McSwankserton]

Congrats Baker, most courageous! Has been throwing himself at the contest, well deserved.

 

[NaturalDisaster]

Onya Bakes you legend!

 

[RoaringTiger]

Well deserved. Voted by the players so means something (compared to all of the pretenders in the AA team)

 

[KJpie]

Man crush on this little champ continues, well deserved Baker & obvious choice for mine

 

[Morro]

I reckon this award would mean so much more than most to any player ever.

What a compliment.

 

[Profop]

Fair play to Baker getting the nod. He definitely deserves it

Reckon Cotchin should have joint won it with him just for planting himself in front of Buddy

 

[Area51]

Something we already knew but this is great recognition especially considering its peer based.

Some quality melts in the comments
Someone needs to tell those stupid campaigners what voted by peers means

Would be nice if the useless ****s at champion data would release stats like total smothers (among other stats).

Can only imagine that Baker would be streets ahead of any other player in the competition.

Much like how Saad got AA because he had the most "bounces" ... why the hell would they record bounces when blokes like him bounce it as soon as they play on every bloody time haha

Fortunate to have tapped the great man in the shoulder today. Even his shoulder is solid.

Richo still getting shit by people despite not being a All-Australian selector anymore haha

The previous time we played them he had some record for most bounces????? I watch every game at least twice. One passage from fullback kickout to about the 47m mark where he kicked it he took 6 bounces. With the kickouts extended couple years ago by rights the flog could've taken 1 bounce and been right. Commentators are flogs and getting worse. It's even worse when they spoof over and intercepted mark which 8/10 is a shit kick straight to opposition. Besides Saad's nearly softest player in entire league. Give me Rioli any day of week.

I think ever since he got his contract its been a bit downhill from there.

Had his worse game for the club tonight. Lost count how many easy errors he made. He lost all his composure.

That 50m penalty and the OOTF in the last were telling.

Yep and he ran under the ball a few times misjudged his marks.

Very uncharacteristic of him

 

[Googstar]

He has been ordinary in the last month or so, injured maybe?

Always concerning when a players form drops off after sighing a new deal
