Baguley has been one of the club’s most consistent performers in the VFL this season and General Manager of Football Operations Paul Hamilton said it was just reward for the 25 year old.
“After exploring the AFL’s mid season rookie rule we made the decision to elevate Mark onto our senior list.”
“Mark has been a standout for Bendigo this season and it’s fantastic to see his hard work and on field consistency is paying off.”
Baguley joins teammate Michael Hibberd as the latest success story to come out of VFL outfit the Franskton Dolphins.
Standing 180 centimetres and 83 kilograms, Baguley is a beautiful left kick and can play in both defence and the midfield.
Baguley was taken with pick number 47 in the 2012 Rookie Draft.

Essendon coach James Hird is confident the team can cover for a growing injury list when it meets Port Adelaide on Saturday at AAMI Stadium. Without Michael Hurley, Paddy Ryder, David Zaharakis and Stewart Crameri (suspension), the Bombers' forward line will need restructuring when it meets the Power.
