You may have a bigger sample size than me, but my impression from watching Baker closely whenever I watched Richmond was that this year was a fair drop off in edge and quality from last year.

I think there a large number of AFL players who can produce stretches at A grade level. What separates them is how frequently and how long.

I saw it and sometimes wondered if he was checked out.

Then he asked for a trade.

Dunno...
 
Why does it require two of our guns to meet and have coffee with him in order to "convince" him Freo is where it's at, he's Liam bloody Baker not Kozzy Pickett or Chad Warner for heavens sake.
Doesn't hurt to have a chat and see what's what.
 
How many times has Serong and Brayshaw had coffees with players from other clubs with a view in enticing them over?
I wouldn't have a clue.

But what I will say is I don't mind that they meet with potential players for the club.

Yeah maybe. But lots of scuttlebutt that he was really torn about leaving Richmond. Maybe that takes the edge off, but you could also imagine he'd want to give the last hurrah before leaving.

At least Baker hasn't publicly said he doesn't want anything to do with us like Kelly did. I found the clubs continued begging to get Kelly to change his mind hard to stomach. We need to show a bit of self-respect as a club.

Edmond reported today he doesn't believe Baker has made his mind up yet and the coach isnt the deciding factor, and both freo and WC still think they are right in it. Ralph has made us believe all year that he essentially hates us and would only go here if WC don't split their pick.. but you wonder if hes just full of it. Twomey said all year don't count Freo out. Ralph seems to have a hard on for saying every WA player wants to go to WC. He even insinuated in his latest article Bolton would likely end up here (and not WC) only because we have the draft picks which is BS

Below is top rated front half players excluding key forwards for 2024. Adding Baker and Bolton would be massive additions to our team.

Richmond were obviously terrible this year. Bolton was the number 1 rated player for this position for both 2022 and 2023.

I imagine having coffee at Cockburn Central is a pretty hard sell for anyone.

Another reason we should have stayed in Freo!
 
Brayshaw and Serong even had dinner with Josh Corbett when he was deciding where to go. You pull every string you can to land a player you want.. There is no pecking order. Love that these guys help sell the vision/culture
 
If there's anything of note out of this it's that Brayshaw and Serong are doing this.

1. Brayshaw clearly isn't going anywhere
2. What's Alex Pearce doing?

I just think Pearce is an action leader. He's a natural leader and is incredibly competitive regarding the aspects that actually directly relate to the game. But formalities, meetings, all that...not his style. On his Better Down Back pod I'm pretty sure he jokes about how he'd like to dump next year's captain's meeting (or some other silly formality) on Brayshaw.
 
So assuming NOd and Sharp play on the wings, Chapman stays back forcing Drapes to play at Peel and Fyfe and Raz wax a midfielder position off and on, who do you drop for Baker?

Dont say Walters as Ive already got Bolton in his position.
Dont say O’Meara, Aish, Emmett or Banners as I already dont have them best 22.

Who are we dropping in the forward line out of J,J,J, Sturt, Freddy, Shai or Switta??
Or are we suggesting he plays back for Wagner or Walker??
I dont get why we would reach for him.
Who exactly are you going to drop?

You wouldn't drop any of them listed .except maybe Walker and that would be an expensive upgrade

Why not look at the entire 22 as he also plays midfield and see who he replaces. The reality is that Omera Aish Banners and occasionally Emmett were best 22 last season as JLO continued to play them. So I'd happily replace any of those guys for Baker because they are all C grade players and Baker is a B grader. B plus potentially in a good side which isn't currently Richmond
