He can play, but not sure he gives us what we really need.Isaac Cumming as a free agent!

The question is if he can comfortably play JOM's half-forward role and actually contribute. It is a risk because there is a low sample size and JOM would be displaced from the team which is a waste. Don't listen to anyone that says Baker will move to the backline because it's not happening.Yeah was becoming pretty ambivalent to getting baker but after seeing how rubbish we are in closing out games I want the guy in 100%.

Jom, banfield take your pick he’s a massive upgrade on both just there.The question is if he can comfortably play JOM's half-forward role and actually contribute.

If the club plans on getting all of Warner, Bolton and Baker, Baker is going to the backlineThe question is if he can comfortably play JOM's half-forward role and actually contribute.

In which case he simply becomes an immediate upgrade on WagnerIf the club plans on getting all of Warner, Bolton and Baker, Baker is going to the backline
Yep, and that's where we need him. As an experienced distributor that can hit a target. He is also really difficult to tackle without giving away a free.If the club plans on getting all of Warner, Bolton and Baker, Baker is going to the backline
Baker can't defend aerially (obvs) but is mint at ground level. Would help a lot in the backline.
Baker > JOMIf the club plans on getting all of Warner, Bolton and Baker, Baker is going to the backline
I don't think anyone can argue with that.Baker > JOM
Bolton > Walters
Warner > Fyfe, Switta, Freddy, Sturt (whoever is not performing in our forwardline)
There is room for all three in our forwardline and actually puts pressure on our forwards to perform at the top level which they don't currently have. Wagner has pace to burn and is brilliant at rebounding, we lose that if Baker replaces him.
I will add a disclaimer that this is just my opinion for all the .
McDonald was prime , such a shame he copped that injury, he is a genuine full timer.
Yeah as the season has gone on, Baker taking that 7th defender role is looking steadily more appealing.I'm with Joao that Vlastuin would actually be amazing. I'd rather him than Baker though maybe Baker over Wagner would also make a huge difference. The backline needs a winner with grunt to organise it with Pearce not the most reliable injury wise.
Maybe that has been the plan with Baker the whole time, Richmond fans are adamant his best position is the backline. He would also help with transition even if not rapid himself

Surely thats enough to put line through that
Hopefully get Bolton then won't have to worryJack Martin done in the first quarter eh
Surely thats enough to put line through that
I think the 4 years is overplayed a bit.Rankine was out of contract. Bolton still has 4 more years on his, that’s why it costs more as the clubs can say no
Should rename the rule incorrect out of bounds because whatever it is it's not deliberate out of bounds.
