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

[arsesmart]

Not that im saying it will happen but why has Bolton only requested a trade to WA and not freo ?
With Mini , Baker , Graham now all at the eagles and their ability to give him more $$$$

Wouldnt surprise if they come for him now

It's a very long contract he's on. Lots of argy bargy to be had.

 

[MadMac]

I can't remember two groups of supporters wanting a returning West Aussie player less than Liam Baker.

It’s because he walked away without hi-fiving in that NIB ad.

Tim Kelly wants out…management shopping him around

Thats how Freo operate because the club is sick of players wanting to go home to Victoria but only to one specific club

 

[wakojako]

If Pickett is any chance we need to get the Bolton trade done now so they have time to sort that stuff out. Once Pickett sees his cousin has signed at Freo he will hopefully make the move.

Didn't he ask the question of freo

So none of these mega trades will come to fruition? Thanks a lot Cooney all my hopes and dreams have been smashed now.

They can come for him all they like. He's not going there. He jumped ship from a wooden spooner. He's not going to another basket case. Baker is a huge WC fan. Graham is lucky anyone wants him.

And he's not going to get more money at WC. He has a contract he signed with Richmond that's big enough and will be honoured by some combo of Richmond contribution and his new club's contribution.

 

[oldgoat]

Tail wagging the dog!?

Does feel a bit like that.

surely not?
A not very good way to choose a coach you would think?
Let the horrors continue!

Bolton to Freo has been on since July. Rarely had west coast been linked.

It would absolute shock me if west coast go for him.

Not sure if thats the situation , Freo have been into him for 2 years now but he did request a trade and if it was done since July he would have just requested a trade to fremantle and freo have the assets and that would not be an issue - So no reason not to name freo as his club

It's a very long contract he's on. Lots of argy bargy to be had.

He has a 4 year deal in place and west coast could say 6 years at $1.2-$1.3 and pay the first 3 years up front
6 year $8 mil deal could turn anybody's head

Oh yeaaaa I expect little Liam to be THE chief antagonist in derbies to come
Be even sweeter when we belt the snot of them

They can come for him all they like. He's not going there. He jumped ship from a wooden spooner. He's not going to another basket case. Baker is a huge WC fan. Graham is lucky anyone wants him.

And he's not going to get more money at WC. He has a contract he signed with Richmond that's big enough and will be honoured by some combo of Richmond contribution and his new club's contribution.

Theyve taken Baker cos they couldnt snag Bolton ...
He said " I know I said WA, but that didnt mean...lifes too short"

 

[DragoDelph]

Why is there trade talk in between my ad breaks????

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

Bolton has 2 medals and only 26
His contract at Richmond can easily be torn up and a more lucrative 6 year deal for more $$$

Not saying its going to happen but have to wonder WHY he has not already requested Fremantle ?
Matty Clarke drafted him and would have the relationship

lets see if he comes out and nominates a club

I guess it will all come out in the wash soon enough. Jackson didn't nominate either... but everyone knew.

Feel like it'd be getting a decent player on cents on the dollar for the sake of it. Jaeger trade but worse.

The question for me would be what's the thing we're lacking that he's supposed to bring beyond "see player get player". At his peak would win it at the coalface, burst from stoppage, clean below his knees, used to have more scoreboard impact, but was never a great kick. Even at that point I think the fit is questionable (same as Warner but he's that good that the fit issues somewhat get ignored). We have 3 AA squad mids and you're not gonna ask any of them to be our James Rowbottom. Now that some of those attributes have waned...just why?

I don't think your actually sure of anything. The only thing anyone knows is that Bolton has requested to be traded to WA. End of story and speculation.

 

[Joao]

how in the flying **** is Liam Baker worth pick 13?

I can't remember two groups of supporters wanting a returning West Aussie player less than Liam Baker.

I like Baker, just not top 10 like. Also, I'd rather spend the salary elsewhere (if that is an option).

 

[oldgoat]

We either get Bolton + Pickett or Chad or Wallsy gets a brick IMO.

no need for bricks...there will be lots of feathers
hard not to be greedy isnt it?

Bolton came to us and asked the question

He wants freo

 

[nurries]

How much extra did WC offer Baker to endorse their new coach.
