Too small. He’s ok forward. It’s either there or back, and we’ve got enough back there.

Welcome Liam Baker

Spot on. Should never have been moved. Id be looking at moving Short higher up the ground and slotting Bakes into the backline. Can tell hes losing confidence with each game and lack of involvement. Starting to fumble when he never has
We whinge about Matt Parker's bungles. He has a lot. Because he gets there.
But we don't whinge about Liam Baker's bungles because he can't get near it for 100 minutes a game. And when he does he can't touch it.
Baker is improving to my eye. I had him a delist three weeks ago. And for a lot of last year. But he's had bursts for the past two games. Superconstructive bursts - taps set players to space. Little intercepts. Lively telling bursts. Snagging one from traffic.
He is routinely a liability when the ball is in the air and when the other side is on the break. We're a man down. So he's got to rip the game open when he gets near it.
He's beginning to do a little bit of that. Persevere IMO.

His confidence has been shot since the Brisbane game last year. Really struggling to hit targets and can't get near it for long periods of time. Often panicky. (IKR?)
I've come around from delist. Just this last couple of weeks.
The strength of Baker's game has always been ball use. He's getting that back. Persevere IMO. Two to four weeks.

Too soon to assess the move forward? Not setting up enough not enough pressure for mine to date.
The forward experiment has failed. It’s destroying him.
Move him back or to the guts.

One of Dimma's biggest faults and he just keeps flogging the dead horse. He's destroying a few of them.
Bakes was really good tonight. At his competitive best.
Defence is his go, but we know that he does have some traits where he can be run through the middle or in the forward in bursts or as needs required.
He seemed to be enjoying footy again tonight.
