Player Watch #7: Liam Baker - Traded to West Coast for pick 14

[THE_GUN]

We pay some of Bakers salary so they can afford to over pay Graham. Hehe

You can only pay players $$$ if they are contracted

If it was that easy we could tell Eagles to pay Graham $1,000,000 and we pay $700k to get pick #2

 

[captain blood 17]

deal...
would do in a heart beat

West Coast want two first rounders for Barrass. One will make it to us for Baker if they accomplish that.

Hawthorn may give Pick 12 and a F1 to Eagles for later pick and Future Pick. Want to pass on that F1 to us from Hawthorn which would be, you assume, anywhere from 12-18.

You’d take it.

Yeah, I was trying to actually not over value Bakes. I thought what I presented would be fair to both teams.

100% gone.
Watch Marlions retirement speech and what he says to Bakes at the end of the video.

I think you are reading too much into it, I know everyone on here wants Baker gone for the “draft pick” but I believe he will stay (Can I be wrong). Now what I have read on here is that everyone wants Rioli, Bolton, and Baker to leave so we can stock up on draft picks that would be a bad move (in my eyes) we need to keep some players at tigerland, either a Rioli or Baker for the young kids coming in.

half this thread is people over valuing Baker.!!
#12 is fair and simple for both teams
If anything is more leaning our way.

good fact.
didn't think about that or was aware.

Yeah, maybe because I haven't invented an 8 club mega deal BS that will never happen people may discount it. But he's 26, our VC, and I have heard he wants the Tiger to get fair compo. Pick 3 is off the table, so you have to look at a viable option. And on Graham, we have made an offer to keep him. He may choose to stay yet.

No actually, if Bolton, Rioli and Graham are going, I'd like to keep Baker.

I'm with you on Baker.
But can't see with Graham. Time to go
best for him and us
He may choose to stay..but I hope not

could not make it out, what did he say to him

 

[Truetiger]

Sounds like his preference is West Coast. If so, we need to end up with pick 3 somehow.

Somehow maybe but it won’t be for Baker. Would have to find another way.

Martin signed week before finals 2017. Just saying

 

[Bojangles17]

What contract do you think it would take for us to get 22?

By the sounds of it ~700 a year ,,,JG ain’t being paid that , I’d suggest 4 x 500ish would be very healthy for him and he should get on his knees and pray

There actually is a fair bit of experience left if you review the list , if I recall the expansion teams when they were packed with talent they had far less when they turned the corner , maybe 5 or so , ward Davis mummy Shaw etc

 

[Tonythetiger]

We need Eagles to overpay Graham so it's band 1, then we will get pick 2 as compensation and they can have Baker for nothing.

We worked out earlier in the thread it more likely requires a contract above about $560k per season.

 

[OFFtheBALL]

Pure speculation at my end, but Barrass to Hawks, pick 12 to WCE, Baker to eagles, pick 12 to us.

would be a big tick for all parties.

[Sir_Rancelot]

I would have loved for Baker to stay, we need leadership for the younger kids to grow.
At this moment I'm glad we have Taranto and Hopper at the club.

 

[SunshineBoy]

Why is the club not notifying the members, surely they are “stakeholders”

 

[Truetiger]

Disappointed, But I fully understand. All the best Liam another change to our leadership group.

 

[Truetiger]

Maybe just in case a deal doesn’t get done. Once it’s official they would.
