Career
He played 3 games with the Bulldogs, and played 2 games with Brisbane in 2005. Baird was destined to spend the rest of 2006 on Brisbane"s rookie list, and thus took the decision to enter the draft at the end of 2005. He played most of 2005 with the Suncoast Lions in the AFLQ as a midfielder, showing enough ability to be promoted to Brisbane"s senior list in the second half of the season, where he played two senior games.
Following the 2007 American Federation of Labor-Congress season Baird was delisted by the Western Bulldogs, after he was unable to secure a single senior game for the year.
