Wait where's the mentality of Baker and NOD being correlated coming from? They've got nothing to do with each other. We can fit both.
The nature of this clubs supporters

shocked chicken little GIF



*tbf though, historically, the sky HAS fallen.
 
He was playing the high half forward role in the worst team in the AFL. No shock his numbers were down.
I'm not taking numbers per se. I've watch a bit of Richmond this year and paid a lot attention on Baker (and Bolton). He wasn't performing to the same level qualitatively.

Yeah, dumb.

Oh no! Getting Baker means someone who isn’t as good is ‘forced’ out!!

It’s like people don’t even want to improve our best 22.

I’m also not saying NOD isn’t as good, just the general vibe of getting Baler pushes someone out.

Well no der!

Curtis Taylor from Norths has been delisted. Did I only see his good games?

Might be getting him mixed up with Paul Curtis? (The good small
Forward)

I think people are saying you need to be careful bringing in players who are 16-23 on your list, especially when you have a young list and a number of people could improve and push him out of the 22. (Especially on a long contract)

So for baker, it depends if you rate him 11-16 player on your list, or 17 -23.

I have him in the 11-16 bracket, so I would like to bring him in.

In reality, all players like Baker and Bolton come down to cost (salary and draft capital ) vs output.

Will they improve 22, but are they worth the salary and picks you are giving up?
And the answer to that question, will differ greatly depending on where your list is. I can't see West Coast giving up any picks, while we should be looking to improve our 22 if the price is reasonable.

We’ll also likely lose Fyfe, Walters and JOM over the next 2 seasons.
A couple more shortly after that.

Baker is the perfect age to oversee the next 5 years to provide support and guidance to our already emerging younger leaders.

If the other youngsters are good enough, they should be forcing their way in anyway.

You need a best 25-30 players these days. Baker comfortably in best 15.
 
Not saying pisk up Curtis Taylor but sometimes these bottom clubs do cut players that would be much more useful to a middle of the road or even good side.

It's always about giving good youth a go in that situation. Good depth players that are no more than that don't generally last.
 
I'm happy to move on Brodie this season, he's not breaking back into the team.

Dogs came and had a look at him last season and have been trying to add midfielders, I'm not trying to suggest that they will pay anything of value for him but losing two mature bodies this offseason in Smith and Mccrae - Libba on a one year deal and 33 early next year - they will have holes to fill with either draftees or the likes of Will Brodie to wear the hits.

Hope so

I would think he is on 450k a season. Although not big money, then if not played why not move him on, on proviso that we don't pay his salary and freethe cash up for Warner or Pickett next season. Not saying we will land them but it gives us more cap space
 
...not if you stop playing them when they're sore or injured.
All NBA teams have load management, Ric Charlesworth won a women's hockey gold medal with that idea, and Geelong seems to be doing it a small level.

100% agree don't play injured players.

On 6 days breaks and long interstate trips you should looking to make load management decision.

Also, the vets and rookies would be benefit well timed breaks.
