Time for some house cleaning.

Market value for a player of bakers quality, will still command commensurate trade compensation, not sure what you are saying?

That if 900k is normal that would mean every normal player is worth a top 10 pick….

900k is normal for a player of bakers quality, baker is better than a 'normal" player.

It’s just not..

Out of curiosity, what is Tom Barass worth in a trade?

about the same, Barrass is older has an injury history but is contracted and a quality player.

Freo need a future first round pick, we should swap a couple of ours this year for yours.

Like Freo, they are targeting Warner next year, so they won’t be trading their future first.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Come 2025, then Baker is a normal player for Eagles. He isn’t really in our top 10

Allen, Reid, Barass, McGovern, Yeo, Kelly, Waterman, Ryan, Ginbey would all be ahead of him from our perspective.

Reason we want is because he fills the 26 year old player who we have a big gap in with really only Tom Cole

Not our problem Matty Clarke will find it

I think the important part of that is already done and the reason why Baker to Freo has fallen off the radar

There is no chance eagles are going to offer Baker 5 years and 900k then get him for a second round pick. If Eagles want to get baker they have to come up with a first round pick somewhere around 10.

Yes Baker is out of contract but if richmond finish last or second last, the PSD is hardly a bargaining chip for west coast. Unlike when Dawson went to Adelaide

I like Baker but "around pick 10"!
Really?

He's closer to 20 than 10.

10-14

out of contract so 20 is closer than 14 is

 

[Tugga27]

No chance in Hell.

Pundits were saying Tom Barrass was worth the Bulldogs pick for Bailey Smith if traded which would be around 12.

Barrass is a lot more valuable than Baker.

if he was in contract it'd be a first and more

 

[Tugga27]

if he was in contract it'd be a first and more

And if my Auntie had balls.

You're not getting a pick around 10 for a 27 year old role player.
No matter how good you think he is.

He is a lot more than a role player and if Baker leaves that is what Richmond will get

You realise this is a Liam Baker thread right?

He's good but not that good.

Mitch Cleary said on Tradies this week Eagles might have to split their 1st pick to come up with a suitable deal...

Yes its true, even Mitch can be wrong sometimes

FMD. Baker is worth about $600k. He’s a good, high level role player. Nothing more, nothing less.

Lucky if you get band 3 compensation, if he was a restricted free agent.

Bwahahaha

He’s worth closer to 30 than 10.

Baker doesn’t even make the best 22 of half the teams in the league, when every player is fully fit.

This isn't bay13. He'd play in every single side comfortably. Its moronic to even suggest that considering he was a staple in a dynasty team only a few years ago and is a better player now than he was then....

Do you think all of Taylor Adams, James Jordan, Jake Lloyd, Brayden Campbell and Sam Wicks are better? Or how about Fantasia, Boyd, Cowan, Foggarty, Owies etc etc etc.

Off the top of my head, he doesn’t start in the best 22 at Sydney, Brisbane, GWS, Melbourne, Bulldogs, Carlton, Collingwood, Gold Coast even. Maybe even Essendon.
