Traded 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.

You're a bit of a narcissist, aren't you.

Come on, if the shoe was on the other foot you'd be loving it.

Big Footy/Vic Media rn

Eagles reject 3 for 12, 14 + Owies. Eagles reject Barrass + F3 for 14 + F2

Eagles somehow accept 3 for 12, 14 and Owies. Eagles somehow accept F1 and F2 for F3 + Barrass.

Nuffies : yeah this makes sense.

Hold on a day or two you obsessed weirdos

Ummm show me where the Owies offer was rejected.
Original offer was 12 & 14. Now it's Owies and Baker and the story has legs.
We will find out in the morning I guess, surely eagles aren't that stupid.

 

[TheHumanShoe]

Bro you picked up DBG with pick 6.

Nah, didn't you hear? According to Hawks supporters he's actually really good and should be part of the Barrass trade.

Buckle up, our club has made the BF servers crash before and if this rumoured trade goes through, it'll happen again.

Hahaha this is the worst trade of all time

We've been the worst run team in the league since the Tim Kelly

trade was signed off on. I am abjectly horrified by what's happening to my club.

I'm not even being over the top either. Like I'm seriously in awe with what the club's doing to itself.

 

[Coach_Required]

This will be the end of West Coast, I still struggle to believe it.

 

[Daka]

I am sick of people underrating Baker, I know Reid isn't the finished product, but he played more midfield than Liam Baker & got less of the ball, I don't think Liam Baker is a great forward but he has a lot of elite traits whatever position he plays.

Wasn’t Judd pick 3?

Liam Baker

Baker is elite in clearances as midfield rotation.

 

[Suma Magic]

This could be the worst trade of all time.

No Hawks supporter would ever say DGB is really good

Reid is 19 and a generational talent. Baker is 26 and a good ordinary player.

This may be the most absurd comparison ever.

0 official moves have come out, turn off the schocials until Thursday man.

So this is how it felt to be a non-Freo fan watching us do our trades

While every vic club is trying to trade for Reid in two years time this genius will be working on bringing Baker back instead.

If we're stupid enough to give up picks for Owies and Baker, why wouldn't they try offload DGB to us for something of value?

That's a great idea, ready-made Barrass replacement.

 

[UpTheGutz]

Baker has tools. Superb player. Heart & soul.

This take is as stupid as the trade that's about to go down lmao Richmond fans really are delusional

 

[dean33]

This is literally the nightmare scenario. Fingers crossed St Kilda are the third party and the slide is only down to 8... looks unlikely though. This is actual give up hope trade. Rebuild is stuffed.

Yes, I feel it should be 3 for saints picks and we take 7 for baker. Has a much better feel about it than getting Carlton involved. We could possibly throw in pick 51 as a sweetener at a push.

 

[Chaisa]

This deal is worse than what Port were doing before they realised they were being stupid. It’s probably the worst deal since Gold Coast paid a Top 10 pick to dump Jack Bowes

’s contract. What the actual ****.

 

[Libbaaaa]

Absolute stinker of a deal. Carlton would trade Owies for a pick in the 60s yet he is the piece that got this done.

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Wtf has happened to the eagles

 

[TylerDurden]

Clarke out of his depth, and burning the boats.

I just pictured him as Billy Zane in Titanic holding the random girl so he could get on the life boat.
