I think we were lucky to nab him where we did via the rookie draft. And a big tick to our recruiters. Strongly doubt he would not have been picked up by another club a year later. Remember McRae saying he didn’t expect to see him back at VFL level after he debuted for us in the seniors. Remember him saying early on that he would always go home at some stage. Gives us everything every time he takes the field. Unlike the Stringers of the World. The money difference may be substantial. Richo and Jack or Dusty never had the go home factor and the fact that the “Band” has broken up significantly already with some of our recent retirees, with others maybe to follow, just adds to the considerations of the player. Strongly doubt he would leave without consideration to the Club being fair. He might stay. Time will tell.

That wasn't the point of course. It is the bleedingly obvious that Bakes would be valued at his age and output not related to him being a rookie originally.
There are a lot of people who rabbit on about wasted draft picks. I was simply making the point that there is another side to draft and trade transactions that offset that where we come out ahead .
I know a guy who was a lawyer his name is Ian Sue. his email address was i.sue@
Some Indians picked up the name of the profession their ancestors worked as. There are Indians called engineer or merchant for instance.
I worked with a guy in India whose name was Vikram Doctor. His father was a doctor so he was Doctor Doctor.
Always brought thoughts of Hewy Lewis and the song.
Actually it is the Robert Palmer song I meant. “ Doctor doctor give me the news , bad case of loving you”
or Easybeats
“Doctor, doctor my baby's sick
(Come and see her, come and see her)
Doctor, doctor you'd better come quick
(Come and see her, come and see her)”
Shocking take. Players aren't property.
He is going home. It's a common occurrence.
Can't walk away without a trade. We will get value.
But owes us nothing.
There is also the Sri Lankan wicketkeeper Dickwella ....
