Shoulder surgery for Saint
Sam Edmund | June 11, 2008 12:00am
STEVEN Baker will undergo surgery on his shoulder today in the latest setback to plague the St Kilda tagger. Baker suffered the shoulder injury during his comeback game for Casey Scorpions in the 39-point win against Geelong in the VFL at Casey Fields on Sunday. >>>>>>>>>>>>>
A long way from his knee- although not as far as some..... but will they be checking the knee as well??????
or is this new Sam very wrong.

X is only contracted for this season so for us to be in a position to trade him we will have to re-sign him to a further contract. Otherwise all we could do is delist him.ausfatcat wrote:saintspremiers wrote:Well as far as I'm concerned that's about curtains for Baker, and perhaps X as well.
Let's just see what the big cleanout brings at the end of season....
Doubt it for both X maybe traded thou, Baker is exactly what we need in the team at the moment hardness and commitment.

Can still be traded without a contract, but he would have to agree.

Or can choose to put himself in teh Draft as an uncontracted player and make his own deal with a Club - leaving us with nothing.ausfatcat wrote:Mr Magic wrote:X is only contracted for this season so for us to be in a position to trade him we will have to re-sign him to a further contract.

At his best, Baker's a top line tagger and semi midfielder.
He gets injured...
Remains injured and injury prone
Becomes slower... can't play on fast, small forwards
Loses fitness
Loses the ability to hurt opposition as a midfielder
His tagging declines by 10% every year as he gets older
Most probably outcome
.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Baker becomes a slow injury prone tagger who's sole purpose in the team becomes to negate second rate midfielders as he can no longer keep up with the elite.
If his opponent gets on top of him... he will become a complete liability and he'll do a Jason Blake on us (keep a spot from a developing player and never actually get any better)

since when has he been injury prone...there is no correlation between knee's and shoulder's....how can that be injury prone???its not even close to similar parts of the body
so he is injury prone how???
