Most surprising thing in this whole post is the fact that you rated him against Medium Forwards. Pretty sure Bakes needs to stand on a milk crate to look a medium forward in the eye.Among mid forwards and medium forwards he ranks.
#1 for Disposals @20.6.
#4 for Player Rating @11.29.
#5 for Metres Gained @326.9
#2 for Contested Possessions @8.5.
#4 for Ground Ball Gets @5.5.
#2 for Clearances @3.5.
#8 for Score Involvements @5.5.
#1 for Score launches @1.8
#7 for Tackles @3.7.
#3 for Pressure Acts @21.7.
One or two quieter games doesn't change the fact that he is one of the best half forward flankers in the competition and is every bit worth a top 10 pick or thereabouts. If we can't get what he is worth in a trade then we should look to extend him for one year and allow West Coast to come in with an offer next season that will deliver us band one compo.
