Free Agency Jack Graham - Heads to West Coast as FA

[Barrybran]

Jack Graham doesn't make sense to me for West Coast. He's slow and injury prone.

Sounds perfect for us actually

 

[Barrybran]

So what was actually said?

Edit. Read it.

Think you are overreacting a tad. It was a not so subtle dig at players leaving by talking about Broad being loyal.

Not a drive by assasination.

SGIO? Overreact?

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

SGIO? Overreact?

Even I agree with this but in this case the reaction is fair .

I don't think hanging shit on your players in public can ever be ignored

Ah, nothing yet I believe.
I think he was touring the WCE facilities yesterday or today

Im sure he will love the facilities and now that Mini is the coach and Clarke and Baker there there would be nothing holding him back and i would be thinking its better salary than what he would get at Richmond.

But would he actually want to live in a regional city

 

[THE_GUN]

He is a free agent. Most Eagles fans hope here is we give the 4 year 2.4 mill like deal and AFL go "yeah thats worth pick 22 and not pick 41". Give them pick 23

Combination of them not getting pick 22 + our 23 for Baker does that deal

You would hope so

Graham is worth nothing really and only plays 15/16 games a year and is usually injured 2-3 times during the year
this wont get better as he gets older and to be honest we would be happy with #41

Dunno but good thing he would be living in Perth so that wouldnt be an issue

Shhh let them have their fun


* Was a shocking drive bye by our president totally embarrassing these champion players just because they decided to leave for better options .

Eagles would be crazy to pay full dollar now they have the whip hand with these trades
Baker will be so upset he will be telling his manager F Richmond send me to the PSD

Same Same

You are acting like a child with this pettiness. It's not a good look.

Oh dear looks like you guys in regional cities get offended easily
Ill make sure to be more careful in the future

Should tell him if dont sign today the deals off the table, your not that good, stay at richmond if you cant decide

 

[Morro]

I cant fathom that he hasnt already decided. After the port debacle, he is becoming a bit of a joke IMO.

In all likelihood, he has decided and its the media making it appear like he hasnt.

 

[Coach_Required]

More like if you can't decide by now then that means you don't want to stay, so off to the eagles you go.

Yeah because drafting a player who doesn’t want to live in Melbourne worked out so well for you last time

Give us pick 2 and you can have our now pick 4 for baker and you've got a deal, or we just walk him to the PSD anyway and get him for free

I like it but with one slight change, we redraft baker in the psd and send some flowers and a box of chocolates to mini and Clarke.

Id do the trade version of this

Jack Graham gets 5 years 5 mill (just to be sure)
West Coast Eagles trade pick 26 for Liam Baker, 32 and 42

Richmond get pick 2 and 26 for Liam Baker, 32 and 42. This is equivalent of Pick 4 for Liam Baker

Seems a win for Richmond, Eagles and most importantly Jack Grahams wife

If you ****ers got us pick 2 for Graham I'd happily swap it with 4 in the Baker deal. What a rort that would be

We could also for example set it so Liam Baker gets less wages then he agreed on the proviso that Jack Graham and Liam Baker purchase a few Hungry Jacks franchise together upon which Liam Baker buys Jack Graham out of the investment further down the line for 1 dollar, essentially meaning Eagles retain the salary cap we want by Jack Graham forking over 1.5 mill to Liam Baker post career with the discounted sales on the Hungry Jacks franchises

So lets say we offered Liam Baker 4 years 2.8 mill right now. We change this to 4 years 1.6 mill instead.

Jack Graham and Liam Baker purchase a set of Hungry Jacks franchises together for 3 million dollars. A secret secondary contract exists which states that Jack Graham must sell his 50% share to Liam Baker for 1 dollar in 2030. End salaries are

Jack Graham - 5 years 3.5 mill
Liam Baker - 4 years 3.1 mill

Geelong would be proud of me
