Oh yeah fantastic. His disposal efficiency is the lowest. Told you we shouldn’t have drafted him. The club is shite.

Absolutely deserved, been a fantastic leader all year.

 

[Farang83150]

Should be next year as well

 

[Forward Press]

He'll make the team better.

but im so flat what it cost us.

Near certain Best and Fairest winner and now club captain plus Bo Allan and Matt Owies, for effectively the cost of Jagga Smith.

At the moment it's a win for us even if you think Owies is a net negative.

Don't forget we live traded that original pick 12 to slide down a couple spots on draft night, netting us another second round pick which we used to grab Tom Gross. So you can include him in there too

Congrats to Baker, always loved him, knew your supporters would too, he's absolutely all heart on the field and deserves this position.

Also his 150th AFL games, so fitting he is the official captain instead of just doing the coin toss.

Take it with a grain of salt, I'm wearing purple...

But from a preparation perspective, being a professional during the week.

This bloke is not the guy to lead your club.

Are you going to say why

Congrats legend!

Took my time here but well done Bakes, awesome first season with the club you followed your whole life.
You have set standards both on and off the field that were well and truly needed.
You play with your heart on your sleeve regardless if it is the first or last 5 min of the game and regardless if we are in front or getting flogged.
Another pre-season with yourself and Graham will be enormous for the young guys coming through and set them on the right path.
Well done again to our 2026 Captain.

Remember last year when this guy was in our Top 3 players every week?

Good times.

I put some blame on Mini. The guy isn’t a forwards arseh*le

Baker is suffering from being able to play well in his second best role in a team lacking other alternatives for that role but with several options for his preferred role who are not as good as him.

His player ratings before today for the 3 games since going forward average above 10. That pouts him on the fringes of the top 30 rated forwards in the comp, with over 120 taking the field each week. So he is not too bad at it.

Where would you have him tho. Even if we got rid of Duggan in defence, I wouldn’t want him in there butchering half his kicks. I don’t mind him in the middle but I don’t think he’s the type thats gonna impact every single week in there.

He's our Mr Fix it. He should go where we need him in game.

Yep 100% lol, struggling to keep up. Do they want him in the ruck now?
