If the reports on Bakes are correct then he hasn't made up his mind so I am not sure how some other dude can know
Dusty is going to sign a 1 year extension?He’s FOS. A narcissistic fence sitter. Always has an each way bet so he can says he was right.
“I reckon Dusty will sign a 1 year contract extension but don’t be surprised if he retires”, that sort of thing.

I don't want him as captain and that shouldn't be the selling point.It's Bakes big contract. This is all posturing.
I think he wants to be a captain, and doubt he'll walk into a captaincy at either WC or Freo within the next couple years.
Captain of a big 4 club he won flags at is going to be worth more to him than the media will acknowledge. We'll offer the succession plan
I think he's single but has a big family in WA.Whats his personal life like as maybe personal steady partner not keen to go West.
I can see him being WCE captain in his second year there if he ends up going there. No leadership at that club.I think he wants to be a captain, and doubt he'll walk into a captaincy at either WC or Freo within the next couple years.
Liam Duggan is only 27 and already their Captain. Not dissimilar to Bakes as a player. Given his age there would be no reason for WC to shunt himI can see him being WCE captain in his second year there if he ends up going there. No leadership at that club.
Totally different players and leadership qualities. Baker is a far superior leader to both Duggan & Allen IMO.Liam Duggan is only 27 and already their Captain. Not dissimilar to Bakes as a player. Given his age there would be no reason for WC to shunt him
An example of a totally different player to Duggan is Samson Ryan.Totally different players and leadership qualities. Baker is a far superior leader to both Duggan & Allen IMO.
I have two eyes and can see it on field.I'm sure Bakes is a great leader, but how can you make the judgement that he is "far superior" to Duggan & Allan's leadership from your armchair?
this is either hilarious or very sillyI have two eyes and can see it on field.
Not even GC would give us 20 for Short.If we can keep Bakes and The Prince, and trade Short for something like Gold Coast's pick 20, that's just about ideal.
Absolute *smile* post. Go and support Essendrugs.Just accept it, Baker is gone. I don't blame him, this is a pathetic club right now. If he wants to go home I don't blame him.
Clear the decks! Hopefully Prestia, Grimes, Dusty follow.
Exactly what flog clubs North and Hawthorn did and they're still on the bottom not waving drowning 5 - 8 years later. Cut too deep, you cut off your nose to spite your face.Man im happy to drive him to the airport for any first round pick
And dan rioli too for another first rounder
Short and graham can uber it to whereever they can for second rounders
Prestia grimes dusty can sail off into sunset
Gives us
3 firsts
3 seconds
Free up $2.5 easily too
Package eveything else for another first making it 4 firsts
If the football gods have totally left punt road and we
Then package the worst first rounder and 2 seconds for hopefully another top 5 pick
1 ,5 ,14-17,25 is looking like a monster hand
Plus pick 1 PSD which we use to buy who think is worth it
this is smart business
Next year weed out the remaining dead wood hopefully win few games another draft and free agent
