Remember we were in cahoots with Sydney a few years ago with a plan that allowed them to keep their second rounder when one of their academy picks were bid on, if paying Graham an extra 100-200k (and triggering a start of second round pick instead) meant we got something more with Baker we absolutely would have done it. Reckon we came to the table with an idea like this and Richmond for whatever reason chose not to agree or play along.

West Coast finishing bottom 2 last two years, and having all the cap space, yet still only giving your free agents minimum money probably says it all about how the rest of the league sees your list.

Must've taken a tidy pay-cut to get out of Richmond?

Doubt it. Much the same I'd say.
Yes the number 5 comes directly after number 4. Clever boy

Eh, it's probably slightly unders to what he would be worth in a trade but you take what you can get. Maybe someone we like slides or we can use the pick to help us get something in future draft.

I'm sure there's already Richmond fans crying league corruption and conspiracy that they didn't get two first round picks for a borderline VFL guy

Nothing at all. I'm happy to see Graham move on, he needed a change. The compo pick will help us get Brisbane's 1st. Everyone's a winner.

Just in case people still don't believe that there's an anti-Richmond agenda at the MMFL (Mickey Mouse Football League), have a look at this:
STEVEN Motlop is officially a Port Adelaide player after Geelong declined to match the Power's four-year, $2 million deal for the restricted free agent. As compensation, the Cats will receive an end of first round selection, which currently falls at pick No. 19.

The West Coast Eagles have added experienced midfielder Jack Graham to their developing list after he exercised his rights as an unrestricted free agent.
A dual premiership player at Richmond, Graham made 131 appearances for the Tigers after being drafted with pick 53 in 2016.
West Coast today formalised the paperwork and has signed Graham, 26, to a four-year contract.
“Jack obviously had a tough decision to make about where he viewed his playing future and we are delighted he has decided to continue his career at the West Coast Eagles,” List Manager Matt Clarke said.
“Jack will add another mature and experienced body to our midfield mix, and he is in the age profile we are looking to bolster amongst our squad.
“His professionalism and leadership will also be valuable for our developing playing group.
“We look forward to welcoming Jack and his partner Jordan to the club.”
Graham's move west follows veteran forward Jack Darling's departure to North Melbourne on the opening day of the Trade Period in exchange for a fourth-round pick.

Keep drinking the MMFL Kool-Aid.7 Years ago when 500k was above average wage, are you stupid?
It's the first time in the history of AFL Free Agency that a 4 year deal hasn't got band 1, 2 or 3 for a player aged 26 or under.
Fair deal, wouldn't have expected they get any better than that.
Salary caps gone up a bit in 6 years....
