Haven’t loved a player like him since Merv Keane.

I reckon Bakes might have been too if he was there to see it
Loved it when he was asked why his teammates were giving him grief, "maybe they just don't like me' he is a dead set ripper. After Bolton, he has to be priority to extend his contract.
He puts the saddle on them and literally leaps into the tackle.
The emergence of Mansell allows this.
Absolutely and as said he filled the Lambert role perfectly. Tackled hard, used the ball well, kicked a goal. Couldn't have asked for more.
If there is a male Richmond fan out there without a man crush on this guy, then they need their head looking at.

Frightening how good he has become.
Had to wait until pick 18 of the 2017 rookie draft before finding a home but on current form would sit comfortably amongst that years first round crop and it’s a pretty decent crop too.
Goes to show that in the end it doesn’t matter where you find them in the draft, just as long as you find them.

He was eligible for 2016 as well, TF. He's putting a number of that year's top-10 to shame too.
Probably put on a pair of faded jeans 2 sizes too small and played the Bon Scott role in an ACDC cover band after the game.
There's no role that those bloke can't excel in
If this is where things are at.......Baker would be on my float for Mardi Gras. The man crush is real.
Maybe we can try him in the ruck, cause I don't think there's a role we've given him where he's failed to adapt.
So undervalued this kid.
I love his hard at the ball and tackling skills... some of his pick ups and receipt of the ball at full tilt are a pleasure to watch! So glad he was in the forward line on Friday night (makes up for Castagna's under performances of late) . Will be interesting to see how the magnets are moved by Hardwick when Prestia, Stack, Vlastuin, Martin, Lambert and Cotchin are back fighting fit. For me... I'd leave him be in the forward line, maybe some midfield time would be interesting to see as well!
Bakes is a bloody ripper
Would love to see him spending more time forward and on the ball.
Wish his energy, desire, intent, commitment and competitiveness could be bottled.
