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

[G Mus]

Bolton nearly made the move over in the past but baulked at the position of Richmond vs both WA sides, I don’t think WCE is any more enticing now than then

 

[Superstar swan]

This doesn’t make sense , how can Chad go to wce? He was mates with Jeremy sharp in pre primary

 

[DragoDelph]

Love the idea of getting better value on Bolton because we helped the tigers get pick 13 for Baker.

 

[MadMundy]

Dude calling in reckons that Pickett goes to West Coast now that McQualter is head coach

 

[MadMundy]

I tell you what if hypothetically West Coast were dumb enough to do Allen and three first round picks for Warner like the caller suggested I'd be all for it.

Would be an all time list blunder.

No word of a lie, popped it on for the drive into work, 20 minutes continuous ads.

The reaction to Baker is interesting. Will be fascinating to see how he goes at west coast. Moot point now but the Last time I remember our fanbase being so underwhelmed about a potential recruit, was when we selected Caleb Serong

with pick 8 in 2019 instead of Dev Robertson.

Some prominent freo fans in social media had a massive Dev Robertson campaign ongoing at that time.

If you look at the first page of Caleb’s welcome post on BF, you can sense the resignation and disappointment at the pick from many of the posts…
Hilarious reading in hindsight.

Fans get it wrong often, but for what it’s worth I would have loved Baker for a Pick in the 20s but not pick 10!

How am I supposed to hear the Install a Rheem ad 1000 times or hear all the Continental Tyres special deals??

Baker will be good for them…solid player, which they need

 

[mayne iac]

Gabelich on now - will he talk about Picket?

 

[oldgoat]

Eagles think they're playing 4D chess. They're now banking on Baker and Graham coming to Eagles as an endorsement, but the reality is their supporters don't want those players and it's going to have an adverse reaction when they give up an early pick. Freo placed their marker at 10.

As I typed, it's reported Baker has now selected Eagles... as we all knew he would do regardless of appointment.

What are they giving up for Baker, anyone know?

 

[oldgoat]

Could see us offering 9 + F1 for Bolton and keeping 10,16

our 2025 F1 wont be worth much

 

[oldgoat]

So theyve announced Baker with nothing but #3 in their pocket?

 

[oldgoat]

Got a very excited Eagles supporter at work. He's stoked.

hope is the last thing to die...I know

They’ll get something for Barrass. Not sure what yet but that’ll be what Richmond target

 

[oldgoat]

Yes but he rates him. We all see the game differently i guess.

Pick 13 is a bit high for him but he will help the Eagles immensely.

We just need Bolton to nominate us now..

got a point...he will help WC more than he would us

 

[Lach72]

First player to actually say just get me home…apparently

 

[Arkhitect]

Rioli for 6 is bonkers. I'd expect Richmond to send CG a number of future picks to even out the trade.

 

[largebus]

Thats how the trade period works, you have to think beyond the next trade to get what you want, espec when you're rebuilding.

 

[MadMundy]

Getting PTSD of the Hogan trade with this segment.

No that was Jackson last year, don't you remember?

"It will come down to whichever team offers Tigers the best offer" but really there's only going to be one team presenting an offer.

 

[MadMundy]

Bolton will get to us, he has no reason to go to West Coast.

 

[Joao]

I'm sure the Eagles would love Bolton, but there is no way they cough up 3 for him, which is the only way to offer a better deal than us. Especially not if they are actually planning to give the Tigers 13 for Baker.

It's completely irrelevant.

Bolton just isn't nominating a club out of respect for Richmond due to his 4 years.

So they lose Baker, Bolton and Rioli...
Then smash the draft!
Beat the Tassie Tax!
BOLD!
They will be next in line after our Threepeat!
