Game Day 2024 Trade Period - Lian Yu - that liminal space between trade and draft.

[Cobbler]

McQualter Eagles coach.

Imagine if Baker now nominates us! LOL

 

[arsesmart]

It begins...

My god... The ads! The addddddsssss!!

Running at about 80% slice of ad time with about 4 particular ads. They've gone up a notch this year. Didn't think they could, but they have.

 

[Arkhitect]

I wonder if the talk about Baker for 10 was always a red herring and that we have intended to use that pick as the centrepiece for a trade for Pickett since he approached the club about coming to us.

 

[FreoBraddles]

Bolton appears almost done for 9 or 10 and 16.

Hopefully they cover 400k in salary, and that would be a good deal for us considering his contract status.



I can't work out any deal involving pick 9 or 10, and Baker looks remotely fair.

Pick 9 for 16, Baker and a future 2nd maybe.

16 is a bit late for Berry to be available. Hannaford would be available, but he may be available at 30.

Was this on Trade Radio, or source? Wouldn't be unhappy with that deal

I have seen the trade picks mentioned several times. No mention of salary at all.

---

Bolton
Wants to get to Western Australia, with Fremantle his likely landing spot. One of the Dockers' picks 9 or 10 and pick 16 is expected to get the deal done as Richmond reloads with young talent.



Baker

---

Yet to declare if he would prefer to be traded to Fremantle or West Coast after telling Richmond he wants to return to his home state Western Australia. Tipped to choose the Eagles if former Tigers interim coach Andrew McQualter is named Adam Simpson's successor.

Tom Morris reckons eagles are gonna offer Warner a 10-14m contract over 9-11 years
Don’t think he’s worth anything near that and they can cook their rebuild harder by doing something as dumb as that

Tom Morris

Lots on the Eagles board not happy it's McQualter. And even unhappier if it means Baker, too.

 

[freocuz]

My god... The ads! The addddddsssss!!

Running at about 80% slice of ad time with about 4 particular ads. They've gone up a notch this year. Didn't think they could, but they have.

I don’t know why I put myself through it each year. They just came back from a long block of ads only to say that it was the end of the show and who was up next, then another block of ads.

“This year will be different” I keep telling myself. I’m so easily conned.

'Mini' McQualter doesn't seem to fit their usual type... doesn't have the arrogance.

I'd be happy to get Baker... it's probably the price they are against which does make sense. Trade deal will be very interesting from their side..

Baker is the least of their problems as a player as he is solid and reliable. What he costs them in draft capital could be an issue however.

 

[Bigger]

McQualter is almost a dead cert.

I should have been more bold.

Embarrassing they had to "announce" it first thing Monday morning. They leak like sieves.

Almost certainly wouldn't come from Eagles directly.
They'd give courtesy calls to King and Skipworth, then from there it is out.

 

[MadMundy]

So does this mean we don't have to get Baker now?

 

[arsesmart]

What it looked like is they scrambled to announce it after it leaked to journos.

 

[malpaso]

McQualter hire reeks of trying to entice a Tiger or two..

 

[serial_thrilla]

Baker to WC confirmed.

And Graham.

They've leaked before. It seemed like it does come from their board.

Tail wagging the dog!?

Does feel a bit like that.

 

[fnerd]

And Graham.

yep baker and graham , packaged deal lol

 

[Lach72]

Pick 13 for Baker…giddy up

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

"Oh no, we really wanted Liam, guess we'll have to keep pick 10 for something else and stick to the agreed 9 and 16 for Bolton. Hot darn!!"

 

[Joao]

Once Baker nominates West Coast, I suspect I might come around to Baker being worth ~ pick 10.
