Traded Liam Baker - Now a West Coast Eagle

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.

There's just one problem with that: Liam Baker wouldn't do it. That's the character of the man.

Well, it's not up to him, is it? Happy for him to walk to PSD, Richmond to take a pick in the 20s, which is fair, or he signs a one year deal and comes as a FA next year, which would get Richmond a better pick anyway, or he signs long term with Richmond.

Fine with any of those scenarios.

It's not up to him if he goes in the PSD??? You sure about that bazza?!

 

[HumanMeatball]

The eagles wanting him never made sense to me

Well, poorly worded but it's not up to him if WCE decide to pull that card.

Likewise, especially if it was turning Barrass into Baker.

Would be an epic fail.

How dare we hey? Its almost like we want to ge good again, but sooner rather than later.

We should follow the eagles plan, burn trades, keep older players, and stay shit as long as possible building one good pick a year for as long as it take darn it.

You can rebuild all you like, it's just not our job to help you do it.

Also, odd melt given the Eagles have a reputation for being a relatively easy team to trade with and are also one of the most successful teams of the AFL era. But hey, four years of being good after 30 years of being crap should put a little pep in your step.

I don't like the now, I'm waiting for the tomorrow.

I don’t particularly love now either yet here we are

I'm just happy the continued narrative is Freo will need 11 pulled out of their cold dead hands

 

[Laffy2Chaffey2Daffy]

Pick 23 for Baker I reckon

Mate this isn’t Facebook marketplace!

As I said, the only problem with that is Bakes won't do it. He'd sign a one-year extension if it came to that. But I don't think it will.

Ralph is dumber than a horse, and easier led.

You keep clinging to that 'narrative', Snu-Snu.

If it was, you just know WC are mashing the “is this still available” button at the hawks

 

[garlic munchers]

Not true, I think he'd be a very good get, but not at the price demanded. Richmond are being absolutely ridiculous with their valuations, hoping other clubs will supercharge their rebuild for them.

Hopefully WC has inspired GC to finally show some backbone and Freo to tell the Tigers to jam their request for the 2 first rounders they hold.......... tiggers are down and out, so stick it to them.

You’ve “inspired” the suns by having hawks pull the rug from under you?

Living in the now is fine by me - as long as I don't have to live in 2021 - 2023..

Word is that the Baker deal is waiting on the Bolton trade to get done. Pick 3 is on the table but Tigers only able to offer pick 20 in return at this stage. Eagles want Freos pick 10 or 11 back so that it’s 3 for Baker and 10 or 11.

I think you have some slightly incorrect mail mate. My incredibly reliable mail from someone involved at the eagles says that the Eagles will only trade 3 for Baker + pick 1 + pick 6 from the Rioli deal.
Should be a straightforward deal once Rioli gets done

That was the first deal I heard but I believe it included Reid and the Eagles have decided to hold onto him.
