I know it’s an emotional time for everyone, but I’d just like say Baker is a lifelong WC fan, and I’m looking forward to him playing for our club! Pretty safe bet he’ll be top 6 B&F.

Bruh

 

[Ruben Grubarb]

Unfortunately for him, baker is going to cop the brunt of this. Much like how we sold the farm for.kelly.

This is way worse. They don't even compare. We didn't spend a top 10 pick on TK, let alone pick 3.

 

[Lach72]

This trade will be laughed at for longer than Freo's pick 1 for Croad, missing out on Hodge & Judd as a result.

Look at least we got McPharlin back

 

[CursoryMercenary]

I hope the club listens to it's fans and pulls out of this ****ing schmozzle.

 

[twce13]

Im 100% sure his welcome will
Be absolutely soured (no fault of his own), and will absolutely cop it from fans due to the nature of this deal.

The Eagles board are just so far up their arse if they dont think that would happen. Fans are too smart to see through their crap

Mm is it no fault of his own ?

Through whatever mechanisms their managers use it was public knowledge that Baker wanted tigers well compensated and that he would go to Freo if need be. I'd say these actions will result in some resentment.

Take bailey smith , it's pretty clear he dgaf about dogs and hence cats can really play hardball.

Bakers hands aren't all that clean imo.

You don't build with 18year olds only.

No you don't, but you bring those older players in with later picks.

 

[lmach]

Suuuurrrrely someone on the board has to veto this shit

 

[KERRPOW]

 

[WCE_Phill]

Where theres smoke there fire, but Morris, Cal and Ralph are very consistent

But if this trade goes through as rumoured, i wont be renewing my membership

Wenl could of done 3 to 6 and Baker

**** Saints had better capital and wanted 3

Surely this isn't true, makes no sense. We rejected 14 for Barrass which would of gone to Baker. No we slide from 3.

Doesnt make sense

 

[Lach72]

You’ve been saved

 

[the harry]

60’s and 70’s

It's a deep draft.... this is hard to watch

 

[Ruben Grubarb]

If Pyke says we are going to the draft and we dont, we can be assured the decision didnt belong to Don Pyke here

Question is, who made the decision?

He needs to get onto the blower to that campaigner Clarke and tell him if he does the trade, he loses his job. If he can't do that, it's on him too.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Suuuurrrrely someone on the board has to veto this shit

The board demanded this shit mate.

They are the ones pushing for it to happen, not Pyke

 

[lmach]

This is the type of shit you call the club about

 

[bzparkes]

You don't build with 18year olds only. We already have 20 kids under 21/22. Some of them questionable as to whether they are AFL standard. We will bring in another 4kids this draft and 3-4 next yr. Soon we will be 26 players under 23

And then we have a bunch of 30 year olds with questionable durability.

Baker owes Graham all 26/27 offer a buffer for 3 yrs while the kids develop.

No, you recruit them with late picks and keep your top end picks for elite talent.

What the club is doing is the worst possible result imaginable.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

He needs to get onto the blower to that campaigner Clarke and tell him if he does the trade, he loses his job. If he can't do that, it's on him too.

He doesnt hold that power. If he did the board would just sack Don Pyke

There is a reason John Worsfold is at the club. Pyke needs more people to side with him and protect him from the board. This is a well known fact and been mentioned by others

 

[squashface]

I'm going to throw up.

Finish 3rd last and get no top level talent through the door - instead recruiting two uncontracted midget flankers.

Compeltely cooked the rebuild - we are going to be the new Norf for a long time now.

 

[new breed]

Really bad , good luck Eagles going to need it now .

 

[Wooshaaaa]

The barrass deal either isn't happening or it only for future picks that the club wouldn't be transfer into this year's draft.

If we get 2 first for next year for barrass we have the choice to put our F1 on the table (maybe 6 from GCS) or hold all 3 and go hard for warner.

I really like this take. And I agree.

My issue is that the highlight of our last 2-3 years has been the draft because on field performance has been so exponentially dire. And 2/3 of those years we essentially trade out of the top talent, the other year we cop the most compromised draft in history to collect pick 30 as our second pick.
Being a supported is really fricken tough at the moment without much to look forward to.

 

[kaiserchief13]

None of these media people say wtf because they are all Vic centric and love WC doing shit

 

[DRK_13]

Absolutely no we did not.
We did NOT demand this.
