Stats
Bio
Recruited from Brunswick, Jack Baquie was a versatile rover and forward who began his VFL journey with Melbourne before making a high-profile switch to powerhouse Carlton in 1909. His time with the Blues was defined by bitter disappointment; he featured in consecutive Grand Final losses in 1909 and 1910, with the latter match proving catastrophic for his career. Baquie was sensationally reported for striking in the premiership decider and handed a severe 12-month suspension, forcing him to spend the entire 1911 season in footballing exile at Seymour. After a brief return to Princes Park, he crossed back to Melbourne in 1914, eventually finishing his career as an experienced veteran who helped guide the club through the challenging period surrounding the First World War hiatus.
