Confirmed Liam Baker - Now a West Coast Eagle

[Jeremias]

Time for some house cleaning.

1) Do not drag discussions or individual posts over here from other threads or boards.

Feel free to respond to those posts wherever they were posted, if you so choose.

2) Enough with the personal attacks. It’s a long season and this one may go the distance, so if you want to remain a part of the discussion, do it respectfully.

We will use thread bans and infractions if necessary.

I agree. To be honest Lachie Schultz would of been with between pick 18-34.

Closer to 30 imo

When teams chase players they pay

But who cares now that Baker is staying

 

[bzparkes]

Baker staying at Richmond

he loves it at Richmond and will sign in 2 weeks

Everyone will rejoice if that happens.

Why ?

He would have been a great pickup for a 2nd rounder for you guys
or were you worried Clarke would pay through the nose

Not interested.

Good player but at the state of the current list, it'd be a weird pickup. Pretty much a smaller Duggan and we need a HBF with elite footskills, which Baker doesn't have, nor would i be keen to see him in the middle/HFF when we have young players that need exposure in those positions.

Would of been a decent pick up for the dockers too. Yeah the only bloke is 173 cm tall. But I wouldn't put him on a half back flank.

I want him at the dockers averaging 15-20 disposals a game on a wing or forward flank and kicking 20-25 goals a season

 

[Freomaniac]

Stop dreaming he is staying

you got inside info?

If so what contract extension length will the tigers offer? 3 or 4 years?

We are still scarred from what we gave up for Tim Kelly for sure. No Eagles fan alive would want this trade unless its for a 2nd rounder and only that.

 

[Morro]

What?

Im sure they do. Thats their job.

Just like a players managers job is the beat the bush and get interest from several clubs to increase interest and value of the next contract.

Where did I say the WA clubs dont look at WA players coming out of contract btw? I didnt.

Strange post.

Well maybe keep up with the posts you are arguing with when they didnt concern you champ.

My response was to another poster who said he didnt think WC approached Baker, but that Baker approached them.

The fact you came back a day or 2 after your last response to laugh react at my post is pretty sad though. Am I that far inside your mind?

Now that sir, is very strange.

Surely it would need to be 5?

And you write all that because I loled at a post of yours I missed?

well no, i replied to your post, nice try champ.

Duggan has no courage, very selfish player, easy possessions only...cannot play in the middle. Baker can play back, mid and fwd.

I'm going to go out on a limb and presume that you've not once seen Duggan play, lmfao.

No courage, selfish and 'easy' possessions only? I think you're badly confusing him for someone else.

This is one of the most ignorant posts I've seen in my entire time on this site.

Haven't been here long?

Deep down in your heart you know that will never happen

Matty Clarke always pays up

Im thinking 6 years @ $800k

Watch out Obeanie1 you've been double-champed, champ.

Wait... So Lachie Schulz is Worth pick 30 contracted despite kicking 30 goals a season in the last 2 years as a docker? Keep in mind he was contracted for another season.

Yet Liam Baker is apparently worth pick 15-18 despite out of contract?

Is this what you are saying?

Why would Clark pay up? Blair Hartley is the one in charge of your list. Has been for some time.

 

[Freomaniac]

Surely it would need to be 5?

why? Is he that Valuable in your side?

I assume you want him to spend his whole playing career at Richmond. That is fine.

Hurry up and extend his contract to another 2 or 3 years and close this thread.

You think Blair was doing everything on his own without the influence of the recruiting manage lol
They live in each others pockets

Yep 100%

Baker is on another level to Schulz who is only a small foward and nothing more

Recruiting managers don't generally make the final call on trades, the list manager and GM of football do.

Blair & Clarke worked closely together and recruiting/List management is the same dept

Why do you think Clarke has now become your list manage

Because he got a promotion to list manager.

Blair is the 'GM of talent' at Richmond, which any other club calls the List Manager.
