Read his latest tweet...


Is that him announcing his retirement?

[thejiggingsaint]

Should give the guy a send off worthy of his efforts for us!

[mad saint guy]

I think he's finished. He played some solid games this year but with the extreme bias against him from the MRP and the development of younger players I think it's best for the club if he retires now.

Good find, looks that way. Real shame, has been the heart and soul of the club over the past decade and would of been great to see him get a premiership. Joins long list of saints who bled for the club and left without a premiership

[SainterK]

If it is announced and he retires, I would like to put together a tribute book (like the one we did for Max)

[Q5]

I would say he just means for the season!

[Enrico_Misso]

Crucified by the AFL.

[saintsRrising]

I said last week would be the last time I pack this bag.. This time it is!

Certainly sounds like Bakes will retire then.

If so. Thanks for games Bakes. You were the heart and soul of the team.

[saintsareprettygoodhey]

Probably. Gonna miss the bakes.

Reading that I wound up on Warne's twitter.

Some of the people he's tweeted include Liz Hurley, Russell Crowe, and Brian McFadden LOL

I think he is referring to the fact that there would be a result at the end of the game, unlike last week when he would've assumed he would be packing his bag for the last time this year.

[shmic_s]

i thought he signed a one year extension at the start of our finals campaign?

[3rd generation saint]

If he does retire, wonder if the AFL will allow him to ride around in a car at the 2011 Grand Final.

[saintjake]

I would say its about the end of season footy trip.
packed it last week, but obviusly used stuff out of it because he was still around?

[mich13]

Think you'll find that's just about packing it for the last time this year. This is from his linkedin page that he's only recently set up:

Steven Baker’s Summary
I have been playing for the St Kilda Football Club for the past 12 years. During this time I have played 191 games with the club. I am looking forward to my 200th game in 2011.

[Rooey_for_PM!]

Thanks for the clarification, I knew it had to be a misunderstanding.

[degruch]

i thought he signed a one year extension at the start of our finals campaign?

True...hard to see him not lining up next year.

[saintbrat]

they do get new bags each year
and he has re-signed

I hope he does go on and get the 200 just to stick it up the........
