I guess at least with Baker it means Big Mac will have a senior voice and someone who knows how he operates to help out.
Hope 13 isn’t on offer though. It takes us out of the Lindsay, TT, Tauru range.
Bit of a litmus test for Clarke
 
Let's all think of the good news
1. If we are downgrading pick 13. That means we are keeping pick 3. And if we are keeping pick 3 welcome SID DRAPER!!!! PARTY TIME

2. I have a feeling we are looking at tom dodee the best ruck in the draft at pick 21 A very harry barnett move but it is still worth another shot at doing what we did

3. Pick 21 is first pick in second night always a slider like archer reid

Pick 3: Sid Draper
Pick 21: Tom Dodee (we do need a ruck)
Pick 23: ???

We miss on Xavier Lindsay in downgrade through.
 
WCE = weakest traders in the history of the competition.

Buy high, sell low.
Yeah I don’t like where the narrative sits already. We’ve been backed into a corner just like the Kelly trade where the onus is on us to make it happen because it feels like we’ve already committed to him being on the list.
 
On the plus side, with L.Baker and J.Graham nominating West Coast, Fremantle will now be more inclined to panic and pay well over value for S.Bolton.

That will leave them with far less capital at the trade table to compete against West Coast in 2025 for a big signing like C.Warner.

I'm not keen on the 13 for baker+21 business, I'm trying to find a positive in it, the only thing I can come up with, is we get another hit at the draft. Ie 3,21,23, baker instead of 3,13,baker.

Other than that, i'm at loss
 
13 is off the table, surely. Zero interest in downgrading the pick and I'd be fuming if the club did as part of a deal for a uncontracted player.

More likely we overpay Graham to up Richmond's compo and they take 23.

F**king spew and bile if the club uses 13 in any way to get L.Baker.


He's coming out of contract, has nominated West Coast and Richmond want him out the door for picks.

It's also questionable what gain the Eagles will have from trading in a player that will be 27 next year considering how far the squad is away from contending.

West Coast holds all the cards here. Time to be campaigners like Geelong at the trade table. Offer next year's F3 and nothing more.


If the Tigers don't like that, I don't give a toss. If he really wants to come to WA and Richmond won't be reasonable, we walk him to the PSD.


The club needs pick 13 far more than it ever needs L.Baker.
Too right dyl.

Id be ****ing go on one if we end up bending over and giving a top end pick for baker.

This screams wellingham and even redden vibes for me.

We gave up picks in the teens for both and well redden only worked out because we won a premiership.
 
Melting because we might include a pick we don't even have yet in a trade for Baker is peak WCE board bed-wetting.
The sad part is its a chance of being true though. In all reality its kind of my biggest melt overall with this. The fact I need to consider it as a possibility is sad
 
Graham will also push a kid out of the midfield because he’s incapable of playing anywhere else at a decent level, he’s incredibly slow and has zero hurt factor. Had like 4 hamstring injuries this year as well.

Baker is a good player, not saying he won’t help but you don’t give up top end picks at the beginning of a rebuild for a 27 year old utility who’s un contracted, that’s insane.
Who is Graham pushing out?? Some mysterious ball magnet I haven't heard of yet. Get real.
