Charlie Cameron Freo not interested. Staying at Brisbane

Are you saying we turned him down?

 

[Docker82]

I think our premiership window is still 1-2 years away.

I would prefer to draft Berry, than get Cameron.

I would prefer Baker over Cameron as well.

There's no way any player over 30 should be traded for a first rounder. Even St Kilda's second rounder is pushing it imo.

Most players over 30 get traded for peanuts. If rumours of Cameron falling out with some of the playing group are correct he'll go for peanuts as well - as a proven gun he'd be worth something otherwise.

‍ Freo not interested. Staying at Brisbane

Would that have anything to do with who his management is?

 

[Taylor]

I am lead to believe Charlie is a bit more complicated off field. Not drugs. I think the club could manage it but it would be a gamble.

What are the odds?

I think Brisbane will hold em!

Honestly I think Fyfe is the elephant in the room when it comes to Jackson being played in a Blicavs like role.

I don't think you can play Darcy, Jackson and Fyfe together around the ball - and when Fyfe is in the team that probably only leaves 5 minutes per quarter where Jackson could play as a mid.

It's a shame because he hasn't really had a fair crack at that role yet.

I think 5 minutes midfielder and 5 minutes ruck is a good scenario for Jackson. Could also work well with Fyfe, although he is clearly an issue.

The strategy with Fyfe should be about being at his current best for Finals.

 

[Footskill]

I wonder with MJ out jom will definitely have more minutes inside and Jackson will also have more time inside

 

[Ge3ks]

Was just looking at our squad list and noticed Conrad Williams. Listed as a 184cm medium forward. How is he tracking? Any chance he will get a game this year or next?

Started the year well but has been injured and now back in reserves.

He’s been playing reserves with Peel. Cat B rookie so should stay on the list.
I like what I saw in a preseason game this year vs Souths.

What happens if finals become highly unlikely, or worse still, we're out of contention (re Fyfe particularly)?

I was massive on Jackson to bring him over as that "unicorn" but regardless, I think it's being stubborn not at least acknowledging Jackson could be better than Darcy as a ruck. People point to his down weeks, I point to him still being a KPP and needing a few years before he's consistent, like anyone else. If he's poor against the big boys, dominating the others like he does Brisbane level bucks every time is still pretty huge.

IF Darcy wanted to leave for whatever reason, it's something the club should explore. What if Darcy out made all of Baker, Cameron and Warner possible?

The combo works, it can be amazing and Darcy is still a gun ruck, is it the best use of cap space is a very valid question though IMO

What do you think Darcy is worth? Mid-late first rounder IMO, in the pick 10-15 range. That's not getting Baker, Cameron and Warner. Would you trade Darcy for Baker in a 3 way trade? I wouldn't.

As has been mentioned Cameron is managed by Colin Young so can't see him in purple next year.

We're an umpiring decision against Carlton away from 2nd on the ladder. Swans are red hot at the minute then you can throw a blanket over 10 other teams. A lot has to go right between now and the end of the year but we're in our window now.

I don't think our forward line is good enough this year.

I really believe the squad can compete for 6 to 8 years with one or two more forwards.

I don't think Cameron is a big upgrade, and more importantly I think his form will drop as he goes beyond 30

 

[Superkoops]

He’s been playing reserves with Peel. Cat B rookie so should stay on the list.
I like what I saw in a preseason game this year vs Souths.

Barely touched the ball the last two weeks in the reserves. He has had injury issues this year and some chance he is still being impacted by injury.

Last two weeks back after lengthy injury lay off:
Round 7: 5 possessions and 1 tackle
Round 8: 3 possessions 3 tackles

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Can someone please sell me on Baker?

Everything I see of him screams "fine" - but he's the kind of short, defensively minded mid we already have a huge surplus of.

Just not seeing why we'd be contemplating offloading part of our strongest draft hand in years for him.

Watch his ball use mate. Does not waste it.

He's just come off a game with 31 touches and a goal.

He's excellent defensively but I certainly wouldn't call him a defensive minded mid. He's probably the best utility in the game - he's a B grade forward, mid and defender.

I don't think there's a single team in the competition he wouldn't walk into.

Positives
Super clean, great skills, tough as nails.

Can play forward, middle or in defense .

Negative

No clear best position in my eyes.
Short
Quick, but not elite top end speed. (for a 173cm player)

You know that bloke at a party that just "crushes it"? That's Liam Baker.

He's not the best looking, funniest, smartest, or the coolest (that's Pondy). But he just owns the party.
The beer pong starts, his demeanour changes. He becomes a different dude. He owns that arena. Honestly, who the hell is this guy? Just clutch shot after clutch shot. WTF? He's never even spoken about beer pong and now he's genuinely making everyone look foolish.
But he's not done.
He sings Creed at karaoke.
It shouldn't work, but it does. Everyone is singing along and loving it. He NAILS total eclipse of the heart without even trying.

You ask yourself "who TF is this guy"?

It's Liam Friggin Baker. And he's here to smash beers and win Freo a premiership.
And he's all out of beers

1) Successful teams always have those Josh Carr type players who do the team things and aren't flashy.

2) Finals experience.

3) We don't need more picks, guys like Erasmus and Sturt are first round picks who struggle to get a game after years in the system. What are the chances of taking someone at pick 16 who contributes in 2025/2026? We've been rebuilding for almost a decade, time to go deep into September.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Switta just played his best ever game for the club, Baker has a similar game like that once a month. He would be a great addition off the flank or wherever we need him

 

[Taylor]

Bye week contract extension anyone?
