Baquie, who came to Melbourne from Brunswick, was used as both a forward and rover during his league career. He transferred to Carlton after two seasons at Melbourne and participated in their losing 1909 and 1910 Grand Final sides. In the 1910 premiership decider, Baquie was reported by the umpire Jack Elder for striking and was suspended for all of the 1911 VFL season. He spent the time away at Seymour but returned for the 1912 finals series. His career ended back at Melbourne, where he returned in 1914 and played until 1920.
