AFLW 2024 - Round 10 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
We’ve done some pretty stupid things as a footy club, but trading pick 10 for an uncontracted Baker would be on the podium.
I refuse to believe we’re that stupid
we get screwed & port power smash that tradeFreo get Bolton pick 6
Freo give 9, 10 17
North give pick 2
North receive houston pick 10
Port receive luko pick 9
Port give Houston second rounder
Gold Coast give pick 6 luko
Gold Coast receive Rioli second rounder
Richmond give Bolton Rioli
Richmond receive pick 2 17
Could see this is how it plays out seems pretty fair obviously there would be later picks thrown around to even it all up a bit
It has gotten out of hand.Jeez it’s been a big day here.
Cal Twomey has us all on a string with his sound bites.
I’m a Baker fan but pick 10? Surely this is a joke?
He’s out of contract for ****s sake!!
Should be a similar price to what Ed Langdon was traded to Melbourne for from us.
Has anyone remarked yet on the most interesting part of the Baker chat today on Gettable?
Cal said that Liam Baker has been paying very close attention and wants to be fully informed as to the potential draft compensation that Richmond will get from both west coast and freo and wants to ensure that the tigers are fully compensated and not shortchanged in any way.
Does he think he’s bloody LeBron James or something?!
The market decides what a player is worth. Why the **** would baker care? That really annoyed me

Dude chill.Walls needs to be sent back to drafting talent only if we end up giving pick 10 for OOC Baker.
Thats sackable stuff that. Can’t have a list manager being that soft

Sir. Snuffaluphagus and his band of merry followers aren’t buying all these signings as proof we’re competent.
God damn it. They’ve seen this before.
I believe so.
What have we left?
Only code red, sir.
Do it.
But, sir…
Did I stutter? Drop the Banfield news. Do it now!
Yep this news is unacceptable. I am mustering the Harbour Masters now. We overthrew Ross Lyon and we are not afraid of starting another mutiny.
Using NOD as an inside tagger would be an incredible waste of his abilities.
It will happen.We’ve done some pretty stupid things as a footy club, but trading pick 10 for an uncontracted Baker would be on the podium.

You mean 2026?Any club with trade targets should take the extra first. I much prefer Warner or Pickett next year (if we can't this year) over the as yet unknown player available at pick #10/11
One of those small forwards could be the next wizard. Would help us instantly.We don’t need Warner. We’d seriously do better using pick 9 this Year on one of those small forwards than move it on to next year for a chance at Warner. We lose him to west coast so what? It’s not like he’s going to make them a better team than us.
Not to dickride but if Geelong think it's a good idea to bring in jack Martin, it might actually be a good idea..Please Geelong. DO IT!!

A small forward we draft could also kick a similar number of goals in a year or two (see Nick Watson) for a fraction of the cost picks and money wiseWarner kicked 34.18 this season. He would be the small forward we hope we get with a mid first round pick.

Pickett and Bolton very similar to Warner, except Warner had an elite impact in stoppages too for about twice the goal assists.
I wasn't going to say "I told you so" in regards to O'Driscoll, but I told you so.
Genuinely was shocked at how many people genuinely thought he was a chance to walk out and leave, was never in doubt that he was staying in my opinion.

All that still reads to me like the smartest and best thing to do is to spread good value into next year but we'll see how trade period goes. Losing pick 9 for a likely top 5 pick next year seems a no brainer to me
