Edmund now running with Baker has selected Eagles.

 

[stallon]

Are you talking about Baker or Graham or both?

Graham is actually free, we cant get caught out paying too much there

 

[Joao]

I've decided that Richmond are right, Baker is easily worth pick 10+. Some very convincing arguments for sure.

Leadership, versatile, occasionally gets a kick, he's got it all.

Just came in to congratulate all the west coast folk on winning the services for Little Liam

Was hard fought but in the end the correct side was chosen

So p13 aye ?… think that’s fantastic value for WC considering leadership , toughness etc

 

[stallon]

Richmond fans who think that are deluded, also West Coast fans who are worried he will sell the farm for Baker are also deluded.

Ive maintained throughout the year that anybody thinking that Matt Clarke is going to screw over the Eagles is just dumb, hes an Eagle now and wants to keep his job, there are others at the club who would call him out if he went stupid when dealing with Richmond.
McQualter will be the same

 

[A Bit Dusty]

Yeah haha more than likely, all I can do now is hope we dont pay too much

Pick 23 and Culley for Baker. Done deal lads

 

[MadMundy]

100% Richmond will get sufficient value what that looks like only those teams know. Some everyday supporters might think it's overs some might think it's unders.
Eagles fans should be wrapt, I keep hearing ex-Richmond rejects, this is a club that won 3 flags in 4 years. Hardly rejects it's smart recruiting both on and off field.

Very surprised to read that people value Baker less than a mid first rounder. The guy is a jet.

 

[CakeEater]

Ask for pick 3 you guys deserve it for Baker.

Assuming he is going to west coast, then yes. Easily

 

[bradfisher14]

Assuming he is going to west coast, then yes. Easily

If he nominated you guys pick 10 would be fair value. All banter aside he’s a great player who would walk into any side in the league.

 

[fnerd]

Well then, must say this has turned out rather splendidly for all involved wouldn’t you agree rich, WC, freo fans?

 

[stallon]

Yep 13 for Baker and pick 9 from Freo

 

[s_wd6]

Easily worth a first round pick. 13 sounds exactly right.

[bradfisher14]

What’s the opposite of VICBIAS?

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Two high firsts. Minimum

No you are deluded
They have screwed us over already by showing any interest in these B grade veterans because they want the comfort of familiar faces around them in their new jobs.
How does it work for WCE who finished 3rd last, to take the failing veterans of the wooden spooner.
We may has well of just kept Barrass and Simo

Pick 23 and Culley for Baker. Done deal lads

A Tigers fan with his own podcast was talking up Culley as a target in the Baker trade.

Seemed to know alot about Culley. And was spot on describing him as a tall forward who can pinch hit as a mid. He mentioned it as definately a position the Tigers need to refresh and build.

Such a refreshing take with a much more positive and objective opinion.
