[Corkintheocean]

Someone has to stop this. Honestly, someone wake the F*** UP!

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Well, that's it for me, lads. I'm not sticking around to see what uninspiring deal we get done for Barrass, the last 12 hours have scorched me. See you guys next year when pre-season starts.

F*cking revolting to see how far our club has fallen since the premiership.

 

[Cuzz09]

I can just see it if Harley wants to go back to Vic. Eagles give Harley plus first round pick for Broad and 2 x 4th round picks.

100%

Harley to Essendon for pick 11 a F3 and Dyson Heppell

Sent from my SM-S908E using BigFooty.com mobile app

 

[Obeanie1]

Which is basically why the answer is to boo Liam Bakers every touch. Sad but reality

Just when you think someone couldn't get any lower.

You post that.

Tell us. Why would anyone with half a brain boo Baker?

If I'm at a game and someone starts booing Baker or Owies watch out. It's a walk down to Gate 3 for a little chat.

 

[beagles]

Worst trade outcome that anyone could have predicted.

Time for the WCE Board to provide an explanation and for Pyke and the Richmond hires to resign.

Clarke is an embarrassing fool to even contemplate this and what reception will the new coach and players get by the fans in the next 100 point drubbing.

 

[squashface]

Lol just remembered Pyke’s interview saying we aren’t selling the farm

 

[ziad]

Cheer up.

 

[Barrybran]

Hello media folk in this thread!

F2 was plenty for Baker. Splitting 3 for 12 + Baker makes no sense. I hope there is more to it than this.

 

[Kaboodleer]

It just feels so bad that through a combination of (now) our own incompetence and AFL draft concessions we are performing as near the worst team but getting less from the draft than several other teams each year.

 

[Wight Wolf]

Are you guys the new Gold Coast. Thanks for the pick

Crazy hey. You are welcome.

 

[Yeahnahmate]

No pick 6 involved. This is horrible decision making if it’s as outlined. Wtaf

 

[DRK_13]

I absolutely cannot wait for the post-trade-period press conference where Matt Clarke tries to justify this trade.
I hope the audience absolutely take him to the cleaners.

 

[xLeCrAs2x]

It just feels so bad that through a combination of (now) our own incompetence and AFL draft concessions we are performing as near the worst team but getting less from the draft than several other teams each year.

It’s our own fault! The club is an absolute joke

Given the trade hasn't gone through and it's clear the supporter base is not on board, why can't pyke hold crisis talks and just end this madness. They will look like fools for walking away but at least crisis averted.

 

[ThePuma #9]

All this rattling cages talk and posturing by the club and none of us stopped for one minute to assume we were the cuckolds in the cage.

This is a massive failure by our list management and trading department.

Just to give you all a run down.

for future picks in the most compromised draft in AFL history.

Only managed to weaken our 2024 draft hand in one of the most even drafts in recent memory.



That's the sum of 12 months work.


Pathetic.

I wouldn't show your face around here BOND 007

You won't be welcome.

 

[Jed Clampet]

so we had apparent A graders wanting to come play with Harley?
Clarke “we’d like to welcome Matt Owies to the Eagles”

 

[Sammy J]

Honestly feel sick.

 

[KERRPOW]

Hello media folk in this thread!

F2 was plenty for Baker. Splitting 3 for 12 + Baker makes no sense. I hope there is more to it than this.

There is.

we are also giving up 2 picks in the 60's for an uncontracted owies and pick 73

 

[Lyyynnnchy]

Even after years of horrid performance and decision making, we’re still here supporting the club we love. If this goes through I honestly think it may be the straw that breaks the camels back.

Will be for me. I’ll get more enjoyment of watching GWS, being in Sydney, with my 3 year old at a half full stadium that gives us plenty of room to move

Stuff putting up with this sh*t. We’re going to be in the doldrums for years, what 5, 6, 7 year old is going to put up with watching their team lose every weekend

 

[MeltMan]

Just when you think someone couldn't get any lower.

Tell us. Why would anyone with half a brain boo Baker?

If I'm at a game and someone starts booing Baker or Owies watch out. It's a walk down to Gate 3 for a little chat.

If " I want fair compensation for Richmond" has anything to do with this, I hope for the kind of shit you've not meant to say on the Internet.

 

[Seadog]

Never go full Moneyball. Surely they'll listen to the noise.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

If I'm at a game and someone starts booing Baker or Owies watch out. It's a walk down to Gate 3 for a little chat.

Because the club wont face up until we do something?

Otherwise we just sit on our hands like cowards?

 

[its_dave]

Does Clarke still work for Richmond?

 

[Obeanie1]

I can't believe this actually happened. Stunned and shocked. All I can say is fk Pyke,fk Clarke and all the motherfking crew.

Did something finally happen?

 

[Sammy J]

Splitting the pick hasn't worked well for us to far.

Missed on Sheezel/Wardlaw for Ginbey and Hewett. Ginbey has been OK and Hewett incomplete. Sheezel is AA contender already and Wardlaw > Ginbey.

I could care less if they didn't want to come West - pick them and make them, win them over. If all else fails, trade them out.

Split 3 for 12 and 14....???
