Re: Our favourite Saint - Dal Santo or Baker - Vote now
Baker, Milne, and Maxy were my 'special' three - players that stood out from the rest of the competition of regular, humdrum footballers and gave the club a character all of its own. Dal Santo was a better footballer (but not by much - Baker was a deserving B&F winner), but Baker brought more to the club. One of the last of a dying breed.

Re: Our favourite Saint - Dal Santo or Baker - Vote now
While I loved what Bakes brought to the team, watching the skill and class of a player like NDS is essentially why I love the game… just a sublime talent.
Re: Our favourite Saint - Dal Santo or Baker - Vote now
The promise Dal showed in his first year or two was unbelievable. He wasn't the perfect player by a long chalk, but the way he found the footy, waltzed around tackles, hit guys 50m away on the chest - the signs were that he'd be an absolute top-line player. And he was. 28 Brownlow votes in 2011 would have won the medal a lot of years.
Bakes was a great competitor but no doubt he was a dirty player. Yeah, he was our dirty player and we loved him for it but time has definitely dimmed him in my memory.

Loved them both equally at St.Kilda. No vote from me.

Voted for Dal Santo.
Would have given 2 votes - to serve it up to those who used to slam him, esp one who doesn't post here anymore.....unless he's using another nic.

Baker never went on to be a great player IMO, showed promise early... Then went on to be a good, solid player

Re: Our favourite Saint - Dal Santo or Baker - Vote now
Loved Baker when he played, hated how he got shafted by the tribunal (Kickett incident, the tall idiot from Essendon standing on him, suspended for a jumper punch etc etc), but now I'm really struggling to get past his confessions in the Mike Sheahan interview. We'd hate a thug like that if he played for anyone else, but love them if they play for us. Bit hypocritical. Dal Santo by a long way.

Dal for me. Loved Bakes and will always defend anyone in the red, white and black. But o how I hated that interview. Didn't do himself or us any favours.
