  and Jordyn Baker delisted

• Archer Reid (2027), Loch Rawlinson (2025), and Coen Livingstone (2025) sign extensions

 

[Eastern Rangers]

From the eye test Garcia has it over Dev, Garcia is a contested beast similar to a Baker which is type of players eagles lack currently. Dev is ok but is pretty poorly skilled and seems a bit slow to me. Dev would be a backup for Graham i would think in similar roles

Only think Dev has a bit of extra size.

Garcia is a clean hands beast and the type of player we need.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

This is literally what Stallon said 10-15 pages ago. Daicos and Degoey elite, supported by a bunch of role-players. They won a premiership with this mix. GWS and Gold Coast haven't been able to with eleventy top ten picks rolling through the midfield... granted those Collingwood role-players are probably better quality than the stopgap role-players we'd be able to access, but that's his point they are stopgap players, and would be serviceable until the need could be addressed properly.

I ain’t got time to read 20 pages that I missed this morning. I’m happy for you and stallon though.

Talk absolute rubbish then responds with this

Righto champ

 

[WA footy mad]

Baker, graham probably coming. Short term O/K but a major backward step in the long run.

 

[TerryFilk]

Assuming we land Baker, Graham and Robertson + let’s just say we add Draper with pick 3

What would your guys best 22 be for 2025? Think mine would look like this - hopefully I haven’t missed someone.

B.Hough, H.Edwards, T.Cole

R.Ginbey, J.McGovern, L.Duggan

S.Draper, D.Robertson, R.Maric

T.Kelly, O.Allen, L.Baker

L.Ryan, J.Waterman, N.Long

B.Williams, H.Reid, E.Yeo

E.Hewett, J.Hunt, J.Williams, J.Graham

I think Cripps should be phased out although I don’t expect that to happen for a while, against some teams Bazzo will be needed down back as that third tall, but I would like to see Maric trialled there. Baker can play in any area of the ground.

A.Reid, Johnston, Hall, Chesser, Dewar would all be close to this team too I’d imagine.

Think our lack of ball users and run and gun players from the back half is a major problem as are any of our wing options, we really need upgrades there. The ruck situation is gross but I think Bailey is more dynamic than Flynn at least.

Midfield depth honestly looks a lot better with guys like Robertson and Graham in over Trew / Culley / Sheed etc.

Still lack the star midfield accumulator and guys with inside / outside ability but Draper should eventually fill some of that void.

If the boys buy into what McQualter is selling, I think 7-8 wins is realistic.

 

[KERRPOW]

Duffield saying pick 13 has to be involved for the trade for baker as baker wants to see the tigers well compensated.

Sorry **** off. Your not even worth parting ways for 23 let alone 13.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

If he loves Richmond so much he should stay at Richmond.

 

[kerrazy]

Baker saying this shit about making sure Richmond are well compensated really doesn't help the team he wants to join. Bit arrogant too. Think your worth so much ? Stay at Richmond then.

 

[DanWCE]

Pyke told Duffield that we will look to pad out that 23-27yr void on our list through FA and draft, but we won't sell the farm to do so. That's good enough for me.

 

[DanWCE]

Baker saying this shit about making sure Richmond are well compensated really doesn't help the team he wants to join. Bit arrogant too. Think your worth so much ? Stay at Richmond then.

Anyone heard it from him directly? I haven't.

 

[Obeanie1]

So we have 4 free list spots. Below are waiting on McQ

Alex Witherden
Luke Edwards
Josh Rotham
Coby Burgiel
Jai Culley (rookie)

My gut tells me that Edwards/Rotham/Burgiel are gone and Witherden waits til post trade period. That leaves us with 8 free spots in a weeks time. If Liam Baker is one of them along with Graham then 6 spots left... Surely we take 5 picks to the draft... All up this then leaves us with 1 free spot to be one of Garcia/Carroll/Robertson or if not then it will be Witherden

Man that is depressing reading

Rotham will move or be delisted.

Not surprised if Culley finds a new home.

Witherden could be unlucky. Going to be a few unlucky players out of contract moved on. And a few less talented player retained on clubs lists simply because they are in contract.

 

[RanaNaved]

Hearing Baker has told the club to give Richmond pick 3 and F1 for him

 

[kerrazy]

Anyone heard it from him directly? I haven't.

Haven't heard anything concrete but it's been doing the rounds since he was rumoured to leave. Sounds like he is the type to say something like that too.

 

[darksquare]

100% this is how he will be used. Later in his career he may be able to do the kms and develop the tank to play more midfield but for now Cam Rayner is an excellent comparison.

You know who else did this? Petracca. That's what we're aiming for, no less...

Really shows our lack of depth in the backline, id probably put Maric back in our b22? might be too tall if we want to bring in Bazzo at some point though

 

[Smotie2]

Talk absolute rubbish then responds with this

Righto champ

Look as another poster said recently...

This is my last comment on this and I'm done completely.

 

[Smotie2]

Any ruckmen available that we can draft or trade in that are ready to go or we have to put up with bwilliams for another 3 years?

 

[pantskyle]

It's utterly bizarre that a player would make any ultimatum on the club they've chosen to join to make sure the club they are leaving are given overs.

If he has done that it comes across as he is only coming for a payday as sure as shit ain't coming to win a flag when those type of decisions directly impacts how we can rebuild our team.

 

[DanWCE]

Haven't heard anything concrete but it's been doing the rounds since he was rumoured to leave. Sounds like he is the type to say something like that too.

He's a vice captain of the club, probably stands to reason he's a pretty fair bloke. I don't think it means he has tickets on himself but more that he appreciates everything the Tigers have done for him, much in the same vein as TB and the Eagles.

Until you hear it from him just be aware that there's a lot of speculation and innuendo in the media regarding anything Tigers related, and it's all leaning heavily in their favour.

 

[JackOutback]

Baker saying this shit about making sure Richmond are well compensated really doesn't help the team he wants to join. Bit arrogant too. Think your worth so much ? Stay at Richmond then.

If he has said it, then we should say thanks but not thanks, take Graham and move on. Does Baker want Richmond or the Eagles to be in the better place after the deal is done? If the answer is Richmond, we don't want him, if it's the Eagles, shut your trap and let us get the best deal we can.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Maybe the tigers should appreciate the three flags he gave them and move him on to the club of his choice for cheap out of gratitude….

 

[WA footy mad]

Baker definitely not for me, only for pick 59 so it wont happen he can then stay at Richmond

 

[stallon]

Look as another poster said recently...

This is my last comment on this and I'm done completely.

I said I wouldnt discuss it anymore, and I didnt

 

[stallon]

Surely what Baker said about getting Richmond a deal is referring more to him not wanting Richmond to be ripped off based on Baker himself being OOC. Some PSD or f3 deal im sure he wouldnt be happy with

 

[BartBart]

Haven't heard anything concrete but it's been doing the rounds since he was rumoured to leave. Sounds like he is the type to say something like that too.

Would it be serious though, or just a little public grandstanding to avoid bridge burning knowing that it will be ignored by WCE.
