Baker would actually be a perfect replacement for JOM playing that half-forward role but JOM probably has another year left in him. Just bad timing for us.

Well you better get the bucket ready then...
Yeah I'd rather just try and squeeze a couple more out of JoM and hope a draftee comes on. Given JoM does a bunch of wing work, even Noddy is still some chance.
I just think getting someone like Baker could cost us someone better in the future.
Im the same!! I just don't see the need anymore to splurge out money and picks on Baker when others like omeara can do it

Not sure what 4 letter word you retracted there, and I have spent waaaay too much time trying to figure it out.
I think I have seen a few posts from you suggesting you have inside knowledge Baker is a done deal. But I'm sorry, I simply don't believe it. It doesn't make sense for either WA club to chase him hard. For a modest salary (e.g. 500k) and draft pick (2nd rounder) ... then Freo might be interested. But for the money that Richmond could pay him, I would expect him to stay there unless WC come to the party.

Baker's been a defensive liability as a midfielder for an extended period now. I like him as a flanker forward and back but not as a midfielder. He was on Brayshaw for a decent period of our game and he got obliterated.

I thought he was a good fit for us if we played him as a high forward who could link up play but we have Switta and Young now roting throughthat role so I don't think he feels a need on our list.

If there was any truth to the rumour that Switta might want to go home then Baker would be a great replacement for him but It’s hard to see where he would fit exactly if Switta is staying

This is what I’d like our priorities to be.
1. all out for Warner if he wants in. Use the picks we need to, don’t let the deal fall over to next year.
2. If Warner said no, go for Shai. Same as above.
3. No trades that aren’t walking in a top 10 player for us.
4. If neither of the above want in, and there’s no top 10 players want in, go to the draft. Get savvy and trade one of our picks into next years draft and hope for a team to slide.

Even if we use all our picks this year, we'd still have our own 1st and future 1st to trade with next year.

Yeah, what we have this year could be better than anything we hold in the future.
We've had success in letting contracted players go a year early, and maximizing value.
Fingers crossed the Swans think the same.

Yeah, he's good but we'd need him to ask for a trade.

That's the sales pitch to Sydney end of 2024.
Three to four first round picks with two of them near the top ten or in the top ten, or two picks outside the top ten next year.
Sydney could value him for 2025 the same as Freo, those extra firsts, so they say thanks but no thanks.

If we ever need a big argument then we could quantify the equity in the squad. Current trade value of every player. Some will be high, some will be negative.
Ie. Andrew Brayshaw, contracted for 2025. Vice Captain. One top five pick plus one later first rounder.
Hayden Young, contracted until 2027. Two top five picks plus one later first rounder.

Unfortunately the AFL is bringing in picks 2 years in the future
So we will have 2025, 2026 and 2027 first rounders to trade at the end of 2025
Unless the club just flat out says we won't trade future future picks, which may be a thing some clubs do?

Rivers, Sharp, Jackson and Warner all played at East Freo colts together.Rivers is contracted for another 3 years but it wouldn't surprise me if he ended up at Freo at some point.
