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

[pK75]

Doing a deal for both with Freo

I’m sure Richmond sources are convinced Baker is still open the the idea

 

[freo_leo29]

Yeh we were stuffing around squabbling with Brisbane over picks. We wanted to trade pick 20, Brisbane wanted 16.

Melbourne saw a opening flew to Brisbane met with Mitch Clark offered him more money, suddenly he wasn't homesick anymore and Melbourne trumped us with pick 12.

After all that we were squabbling over picks for Tom Sherridan or Hayden Crozier

Dees gave up Docherty's pick so we were in the right

Can only blame Clarke, he put out a media release with us saying he doesn't care about the financials and he wants to come home.

Then Dees upped their offer and he changed his mind, Bond at the time said it would have made him our highest paid player

Can't blame us in that one

We could have given Brisbane what they wanted before Melbourne flew up there and upped their offer is the point.

Why are people talking about Mitch Clarke?
He's retired

 

[Tundrawolf]

You know it's been a slow trade week when all we can post about is Mitch Clark, Thailand and rehash Jesse Hogan

Why would we do that, you always leave it til the end to get the best deal, its negotiating


20 was a very fair offer for him

 

[what a game]

Baker to freo is a definite no go as far as I am concerned
He was courted by brayshaw and serong and baker chose west coast
I’ve no doubt the contract included more money and if it was me ( I’m not a charity I’m taking it )
It’s now up to west coast to get it done

I’m very much in the same thinking regards Warner next year.
If west coast offer 1.5 mill that’s where he goes we shouldn’t have that for 1 player
I would be more inclined to go for Pickett at 800/1 mill
As a better option
The baker money is better off on west coast

 

[guidodp15]

We have to own a small bit of the blame in that Bond was dicking around trying to lowball Brisbane, but yeah pinning it on Ross is out there. Clark and Young screwed us

Doing some refresh on this but Brisbane wanted pick 16 and 20 when you couldn’t trade futures.

Why are people talking about Mitch Clarke?
He's retired

Someone posted players don’t change their mind after nominating a club and I rebutted with Clarke changing his mind overnight and then it became a discussion of us screwing around/ him changing his mind

 

[Heave Ho Bro]

If Baker is on again the most I'd part with is 10, 11 and 27 or whatever the Saints 2nd is now. Even then I hate not keeping 11. But they aren't getting all 3 firsts.

 

[Taylor]

Baker for WCs second round pick and tough teddies

 

[Tundrawolf]

I don't think there's anyway Baker gets to Freo, especially if West Coast can get a couple of future picks for Barass. We'll panic about having an inferior draft hand for Warner and tell Baker to $%#^ off.

 

[Taylor]

I think we can grab Sydney's first next year and this year, for one of ten or eleven.

 

[freo1997]

Tarrant picked Eagles as his preferred destination, but settled for his second in line which was us.

I think we’ll know over the Weekend if Baker has changed his mind or come to his senses that going to the Eagles is a shit idea.

 

[Taylor]

Just commit to the Eagles Liam and who cares about getting a fair deal for Richmond

 

[jimboslice]

We gotta boycott this period next year
They wanna play the hard to get game lets go
I wanna feel young again

 

[Tundrawolf]

For those of you who want Baker ask yourself this, if your slightly above average partner cheated on you would you take them back knowing there is a hottie or two waiting for you this year and maybe next year if you play it cool.

But he wants to look on... from afar and see them doing well.

 

[Cesoir]

Because it's something else we can flagellate the club over.

Are you sure? I thought they wanted 16 & we wanted to give 20, hence the stand off. Schwabby never lost in trade week so trumped 16 with 12 & doubled his wage.

It's not WC's problem that Hawks gave away the pick Richmond wanted but if they are emotional about it maybe they'll give Freo SUCH a good deal on both, like paying all of Bolton's salary, that it doesn't cost us Warner and Pickett later.

 

[stax on the mull]

Are Richmond going for a 1 superdraft rebuild with all the picks they want and a lot of it is just fantasy what they expect. Bolton I get is worth haggling over but it's not Leon Baker and Cyril Rioli, it's Liam Baker

and Dan Rioli that they're trading.

It didn't really work for Gold Coast and GWS in their start up lists which were filled with much more top end talent. Pulling players all from one draft and have them all fit together and all mature together, even if they all stay, it'll take at least 4 years and by that time Hopper and Taranto will be in their 30's and not much else other than Balta and Gibcus (if he ever gets over injuries) and a couple of others they've drafted recently. All the players like Vlaustin, Lynch, Nankervis, Prestia, Short will need replacing by then. They're going to have a very young squad for a while.

Channel 9 reported that Fremantle are considering trading 11 for North Melbourne's F1.

Surely we get something back this year with this.
