Filled the Lambert role. Played it really well.

Interesting observation, a long term replacement for Lambert when he retires? Lambert should have a few years left but Bakes is just so solid, contributes every week and has few bad games.

Just about my favourite player. I bloody love him and his *smile* eating grin. He dragged us back into the game tonight and showed what forward pressure is all about and he uses the ball with class.

His interview on Fox after the game was funny too. He’s a bloody ripper.

The best back pocket in the league may also be the best forward pocket.

Moving him forward won us the game last night.

My Mrs was slightly put off by my drunken declaration of love for Bakes last night. I seriously love this boy so much.

Snake.

His future lies further up the ground imo. Has a lot more to offer than being shoehorned at HBF.

We must be topping the league for players picked late in the draft getting a game every week. Inspired recruitment.

Would be in a sh!t sandwich except he doesn't like bread, unusual considering his name.

I may have said some things at the pub last night that made people question just how much I like Bakes. They may think I like him too much now.

Lots of love for the Bakery

Yet another bargain basement.
Great move by Dimma.
Going through our list of Harris Scarfe bargain basement players:
1. Grub
7. Baker
14. Bachar
15. Short
20. Soldo Man
23. Lamblett
34. Fridge
35. Broadsword
44. Stack (yet be fully franked)
50. Fish

There’s a a couple of others you could potentially add as well.

Think we have picks 14/15/21.
Maybe we should trade for 10 picks in the 90's.

Smiling assassin. Always smiles when he cops a hard hit. A more conservative version of Push Up.
