Condolances to Bakes and Family

on the loss of Father and Husband
NIGHT OF TRIBUTES

The Saints wore black armbands in support of retired teammate Steven Baker, who lost his father Greg during the week. A passionate supporter of his son, Greg Baker was famously one of the ground invaders at AAMI Stadium after Fraser Gehrig scored his 100th goal in a 2004 final. The Hawks wore armbands too, for Sibby Rioli. The uncle of Cyril, and father of former Essendon player Dean, died suddenly last week.

Greggy was a great bloke. Had breathing issues for a while,and went downhill rapidly recently. He passed away with his family by his side.

Spoke to Greggy at length about 8 weeks ago - comparing his issues to my mother's, who died from lung problems a number of years ago. Seemed pretty upbeat and was supposed to be having lung transplant this month. He was such a lovely guy - 58 is too young to go. Felt sick when I heard the news and shattered for the family - they remind me a lot of my own... :(
