If you are a skilful young up and coming player in the two's being left out each week to allow the least skilled thug in the AFL for the last 10 years to play incase we need someone scragged and punched up, I would be rethinking if I'd made the righ choice to join ths club. He remains in the starting 22 so when opposition players start to get on top of us, good old Baker is sent in to smack them in the head. If he is chosen for his skills, we are in trouble. And if he is chosen just to scrag and punch blokes, then that is a disgrace. If he did it by putting his head over the footy and imposing himself in the way the greats of the game have always done it, then no arguments from me. But incidents like the Farmer one keep our club in the dark. If we have to flood, scrag, hit blokes behind the play and push ourselves past our limits to beat 13th placed sides on our home ground, then we have real problems. We will be belted by West Cost this week unless we can join the modern era

He is chosen as a defender.....
Why cant people get a handle on the idea that MIDFIELD DEFENDERS (ie Taggers) exist.
Baker is a legend. He IS (bar Lenny) one of the only blokes that isnt too piss weak to go in and fly the flag when needed.

And long live the anchor at Freo which hopefully keeps 'em down for many long years to come
If he had seen anything you would have heard a great Mike Williamson style "WHHHOOOOOOAAAAAAAA". He wouldn't be able to contain himself.
MLF: The great Mike Williamson would NEVER had said anything as banal as "WHHHOOOOOOAAAAAAAA". He wasn't a cowboy trying to get his horse to pull up.
Unlike M. Voss and just about everyone behind the microphone these days, Williamson was a genuine commentator. He was a real broadcaster who didn't have to play the game at the highest level to know what he is talking about to paint word-pictures, the commentator's job. He wouldn't even get a gig these days because he wasn't an ex-player. It is all about connections, corruption and conflicts-of-interest and nothing to do with skils behind the mike.
