When I was a young child, I knew that I knew so much about so much.
Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.

Contesting all charges and losing would result in the absurdity of 12 matches suspended.
With 9 home and away games left that would rub him out for 3 finals.
Given the club hopes to finish top 4 and win in the first week that would mean Bakes would be suspended for the grand final.
Lose in the first week and he is still suspended for the preliminary final.
In practice St Kilda must beat Geelong in either the Preliminary Final or the Grand Final to win the premiership.
The absolute maximum the club could risk is a 10 game suspension.
That means Bakes is available for the preliminary (one game match practice) and grand finals.
And in round 2 of the finals if the saints lose in the first week.
As other have indicated there could be a sly deal already done with the AFL.
But failing that the tribunal members know and may feel that 10 weeks is over the top.
In accepting 5 weeks automatic suspension for the two most serious charges Bakes is accepting that he should be punished, even punished more harshly than Johnson by 5 weeks to 3 weeks.
Clearly it is smarter to accept 2 charges and contest 2.
To contest all 4 charges would force the tribunals hand and probably result in a full 12 weeks suspension.
On the other hand, we all know how much Demetriou and Anderson hate St Kilda, so they could well quietly demand the tribunal rub Bakes out for 10 weeks if the tribunal members want to keep their jobs for next year.
