The St Kilda Football Club can confirm that there was a minor incident at a Colac Hotel on the weekend involving Steven Baker when he was home visiting family during the AFL split-round.

Steven was out enjoying an evening with family and friends in his home town when he was approached and struck by another hotel patron. Steven is uninjured and back training with the Club today in preparation for the Round 13 game against Richmond this coming Sunday.

It was an unfortunate event for Steven and his friends however police were not involved at any stage and as we believe these versions of events to be true and correct, the matter is closed.
