  and Jordyn Baker delisted

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

 

[DanWCE]

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

Or.... Baker didn't say anything at all.

 

[darksquare]

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.

I went to buy a bar of chocolate for $3 today. But the bar of chocolate insisted that Coles should be adequately compensated, and that a $5 note should be involved.

I'm OK with that, so long as I get a shiny $2 coin as change.

 

[WA footy mad]

Like i said before Richmond are only offloading players to speed up there rebuild, this will slow our rebuild down big time.

But they don't have any gold coins in stock, so they'll give you the only 50c coin they have.

 

[ep2018]

Sounds like we're getting overs for Barrass and now paying overs for Baker. It equals out in the end. Still I would expect pick 29 given to us as well in the Baker trade at the very least.

During the Gettable segment of Trade Radio. Cal also mentioned how good that range is and what stars you will be getting. Teams won’t split in this range for high picks because it’s that good…..

13+f1 for Barrass+f2 isnt overs??

For clarification for those who didn't hear it ...
this was in reference to why everyone will be coming after GC's pick 12 (so also valid for pick 13).

 

[pantskyle]

Agree, he is ooc and nominating us, nothing about Baker screams pick 13 or even a first round pick. His value is a second rounder.

 

[Tugga27]

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

You obviously don't rate him, but saying he's only worth pick 59 is a bit silly.

 

[eaglesnutcase]

So having elite mids doesn't equate to having an elite midfield.

Got it.

Carry on.

Sorry but Stallon is correct. Four reasonable footballers can sync up to perfection and be a well oiled machine.Doesn’t make them individual stars.
By the same token four stars can get together and not gel at all thus not a star midfield!

 

[Elite Pete]

Which we should be one if we get the Hawks F1 and it’s done early enough. They can throw in Atkins as a salary dump to get it down.

 

[Dale Doback]

All reads well but 100% do not want Gerreyn. Nothing to do with his football ability and I’m confident West Coast will be across it.

Are we talking Jack Darling on school camp level or something more serious?

 

[Elite Pete]

I think he’s wrong about damn time

 

[1sttermfadeout]

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.

Is it bad that I look at this side and think 'jeeze, Duggan is borderline best 22 here?' I'd probably prefer Hunt on the HBF to him already?

Hope Gov stays fit this year. Personally think top of priority tree needs to be KPD. if you draft them they take forever to be any good, and good ones are pretty rarely available for trade. Gov's durability outside of last year has been terrible and he is absolutely pivotal in the side above. Even if he stays fit we have what maybe two? seasons to sort out his replacement.

 

[KERRPOW]

Id rather take a player in the draft at pick 13 tbh.

 

[stallon]

Is it bad that I look at this side and think 'jeeze, Duggan is borderline best 22 here?' I'd probably prefer Hunt on the HBF to him already?

Agree, I look at the backline and if I was to take someone out of there my first reaction is Duggan. I think its because Duggan is sort of a bit of an all rounder, hes not a runner, hes not a lock down defender, hes not tall, and hes not an elite kick.
Hes definitely in the side though, maybe a defensive wing is an ok spot for him short term, put Hunt or Maric into the backline to swap out with him.

 

[eaglevision]

Nothing to do with his attitude, commitment, behaviour, past incidents etc

Josh Jenkins should stick to horse race tipping. He is fricken dreadful at it but appears he is worse at football punditry

 

[Wooshaaaa]

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

Nah. We can't step backwards any further than we have. 100point losses, uncompetitive no effort useless footballers are on the way out. These 2 are a perfect stop gap that will allow the development of (at the end of this draft) about 26 players on our list under 22 yo. In 3-4 yrs when they hit 30, those 26 kids will be entering primetime.

[Broken_Chairs]

Baker saying he wants richmond to be well compensated for him leaving = him wanting a fair trade to be sorted out amongst both teams. Which is completely reasonable.

It doesn't mean he's sitting there saying we must use pick 13 or pay overs to secure him.

Duffield's a dumb campaigner

 

[Smeg Head]

Sounds like we're getting overs for Barrass and now paying overs for Baker. It equals out in the end. Still I would expect pick 29 given to us as well in the Baker trade at the very least.

Are we getting pick 4 for Barrass all of a sudden? (McKay level compo if say he was OOC) if not, then its unders.
