I think Baker should have got a 14 week suspension. He king hit Farmer and then stepped on his head...dog act.

keep crying you little sook.Typical Freo scum.
Are you all pathological liars?
Surprised the Purple Rabble didn't present you as a 'credible' witness as Barry Kirkwood wasn't a good liar.

haha whatever, when he gets off you'll be the first im laughing at
keep crying you little sook.
If baker didn't do the act then he would have nothing to answer for. You can bitch and moan all you want (and I know you will) but the bloke has a bad history and it has caught up with him.
Didn't think I'd say this, but Go Eagles!

I'm sure you're used to jumping teams this time of year.
Just a reminder : St Kilda 19.12 (126) d Purple Rabble 14.12 (96)
Try winning ON the field for a change rather than sooking to the AFL. Even your joke of a coach implied you were dudded because one of your players was missing for half the game.
Poor losers, poor liars and worst of all you are dobbers.
Barry Kirkwood you will not be forgotten.![]()

It's not Baker he has to worry about and not just at AFL games.Im sure big bad Barry Kirkwood will watch his back when Baker is around.
lolI dont think Fremantle sook to the AFL often

The tribunal accepted he was spinning shit to get a bloke rubbed out.
Lowest of low in football circles and why am I not surprised he works for the Purple Rabble?
lol
Try taking your head out of your arse and try looking at the facts.
FFS, your club is that low they tried to implicate Rob Harvey as the agressor when your Wife-beating scumbag decided to attack him.
Give up JD.. it's like trying to explain economic rationalism to 5 yr olds.. no idea..
Oh ok, he just ran into him did he? Sorry, my bad. Yes yes, in that case; AFL you're a joke and so on....He ran into a bloke.
Assualt? Fair dinkum are you for real?
What Headland did was assult. He got off. A court would not accept "someone poking fun at my tat" as a reason to assult someone.
Of course the (W)AFL did.![]()
If they had a half decent legal team Baker could have just said
A. I was watching the ball and we ran into each other
B. Said he couldn't remember b/c of concussion
Either way he would have got off. If I was a Saints fan I'd be pissed at whoever advised baker not the AFL. Once he admitted making the contact he was gone because you can't really argue with the high contact, severe impact or behind play.
"The club has appealed on several grounds, including the ground that, having accepted Steven Baker's account of the incident, which was supported by other witnesses, the tribunal should not have found Baker guilty or suspended him,"
His admission that he deliberately blocked Farmer and thats their grounds for appealing. Not sure what the other "several grounds" are but they have to be better than this. So are they saying that because he admitted to the reckless act that he can't be found guilty?? looks like a waste of 5k to me.

JD
If the player is injured as a result of the action it is reckless and that is the problem in Bakers case. It is the same as it being made clear to players that smashing a player in a tackle when his arms are pinned is reckless.
Yes the game is soft, by then again when Rocca got outed for a perfect hip and shoulder where contact to the head was caused by the player slipping and Rocca being taller, it was pretty obvious that anything that results in injury to the head that is 'outside' the rules (Rocca did hit high) will result in suspension.
Shepherding off the ball is illegal, once he admitted that he was gone.
You're a disgrace.weak Job Baker, pity you didn't break farmers jaw.
of course if you did he'd be home and his wife would be in danger of another beating, but on the bright side, if you did break his jaw players would would be safe from the eye gouger.

This post sums it up perfectly
Interesting that it has not been responded to yet by JD and other sainters who are up in arms about this.
Barry Kirkwood you will not be forgotten.![]()
In the Rocca case we had footage to view, here we had nothing but differing accounts from eye witnesses. Baker admitted to shepharding off the ball so what? That's a free kick to Freo at the time, it is not a 7 week sentence. How about when Stephen King smashed Jeff White's face in with a kick, how many weeks did he get for that?
