Overall, if it takes longer than a day to find one instance of squibbing it in 7 rounds of footy this year, I think he's pretty much a tough campaigner

There is absolutely no way anyone can fairly say Baker is a squib, he is the total opposite.
There can be reasons other than fear for pulling out of contests sometimes. Sometimes you can be uncertain as to whether you may be spoiling a teammate for example.
So I am with you here k3. Tough campaigner.
Fair enough. I feel like you should wash your keyboard out after typing Baker and squib in the same sentence.
Those images of him going back with the flight and actually sticking the mark are etched in my mind. Incredible skills the guy has got we need to freshen players a bit. Looks like Baker is thriving in the different role.

Only small in the forwardline that wants to do it all
Others don’t want to work for it

Was immense in that 2nd half. No surprises there, always stands up when required. Anyone calling him a squib has nfi. Goes as hard as anyone.

I've said baker squibbed it once.
I've said baker is tough and hard as nails about 45 times.
Perhaps I am wrong

Hey Tigers Fans,
On our blog each week we discuss interesting developments occurring in the AFL and provide analysis.
One of the topics this week is Liam Baker and how important he is to the dynamics of a premiership winning team. I love the way he goes about his footy.

Would love to hear your thoughts on him as Richmond fans
Cheers

He is a 2 time premiership player, not 3 time
Nice work though.
Hahah thanks for that will change that now!
Could just change it to "Soon to be 3 time..."He is a 2 time premiership player, not 3 time
Nice work though.

this was his best. Hit Lynch in the goal square.
Keep an eye on Bakes. He's fast approaching elite territory.

He is so smart and balanced, how many times he takes a quick kick on opposite foot, when in tight and delivers a nice pass is unreal. For instance, he will be running and realise someone is on his ass then mid stride, or mid kicking action he will change his decision and deliver.

The kind of country boy that will settle down with a nice girl and they'll have about 10 boys together. I hope anyway!
Once we have a full side back, I dont think Dimma will play him there.
However he should 100% play forward and not back. His talents aren't fully utilised down back.

Cracked in all night. Was a pretty scrappy performance. I think he had half his kicks off his shin but good to see he can find it in there.
He's very handy on the inside, defensive work around stoppages is top notch, his spread and delivery on the outside is also high grade.
I guess Mansell playing has released him to play Lamberts role. We really need a defensive small to come in and release Baker to Fwd/Mid.

Wowee how good was it seeing a late rookie draft selection playing his first AFL game in the midfield not taking a backwards step against a rolls royce midfield full of inside top 10 draft picks and putting them to the sword
Turning into a genuine gun
Luckily that one year extension kicked in as it should be a bit easier to free up some cap to extend him after 2022
