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

[THE_GUN]

Im getting bad Vibes about this trade

#12 + #14 + Owies to Eagles
#14 to Sydney for #18 + #22
#18 to Richmond

Eagles get #12 + #22 + Baker + Owies

 

[RJK Tiger]

club should just play chicken and make it clear - you go to the PSD, we will be taking you Baker.

And chances are, we will bottom again next year so this isn't a 1 year problem mate - you do the same shit next year, we will do it again.

I am sick of the total pussy dick mentality of the club atm. Get ****ing tough and dictate the narrative and terms for once, ffs

Why exactly would Sydney be giving up pick 22 for a 4 pick upgrade from 18 to 14?

We don’t have the picks from freo yet, and I assume Richmond/baker have given the eagles until Tuesday to save the deal before they pivot to Fremantle

think you have hit it..
just happy to get a solution and trade.
now we can move on

How do you dictate terms when you are over a barrel somewhat.

The other clubs don't have the right numbers and are not going to help Richmond playing mr nice guy. I think we will have to take WC pick 26 and a future pick around the 20 mark next year. We will not let him go via the PSD. Pick 26 can still get you a very good player.

If we can negotiate with a third club great, but again why would other clubs want to help us.

I've felt this whole thread has been wishful thinking, we could have 1, 3, 6, 10, 11, 14, etc. It is not going to happen as other clubs get involved, Hawthorn and WC 14, deal for one, we all had that pencilled in.

I am surprised the eagles want to give away pick 3. The eagles fans are angry at Clarke on social media because of the baker deal

 

[voorhees]

it's official now ... #14 has landed
farewell Mr Baker

Hell, I'd do 14 for 19 and 22 if I'm Richmond.

 

[Tigerbob]

Eagles fans said Baker would be a second round pick.

It cost them Pick 3.

Let them never forget their taunts.

Really need someone to dub the laughing mexican giff, especially with the Owies DFA missed opportunity and the steak knives that were added by WCE rather than Carlton

Thanks Liam, one of my favorites

Happy with the deal
Loved baker but i reckon a top quality young kid will over take his output fairly soon

 

[tugga]

14 is a terrific deal for Baker.
Sad to see him go because I truly think Eagles fans are underestimating his worth and yes, perhaps we overestimated it to an extent.

 

[Andyy]

P14 will probably end up around P17-18 IMO after some slides.

Probably about right or slightly overs.

My confidence is low that the kid we take will be a better player than Bakes.

 

[Dinith]

Sad to see Bakes go but holy shit we got pick 14 for him. That is some good business

 

[Cleansweep17]

I said in the WC board. Baker is a good player, sure it’s a little overs. But he’s worth it.

A WC thread mod then said to me:

“Get Out.

Now.”



We f’d them up royally

 

[TigerTime88]

Well done Blair.

 

[Cleansweep17]

Good bye Baker.

Epitome of a Richmond man. I’ll never get sick of your good attitude even if it’s at another club.

Enjoy the family and cash along with your two flags!!!

 

[Morro]

All joke aside, gon miss this little terrier.

going to be a heck of a trade to offer what the terrier has done.
Cant wait to see all the new trades, exciting times.

The Wet Toast fans melts are delicious

 

[Coach_Required]

If we threw Cumbo into the trade we could have walked away with pick 3.
