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.

Hopefully he decides to stay at Richmond for another year and revisit the deal as a free agent or re-sign with Richmond longer term.

Would much prefer to keep 14 and take it to the draft.

Just let him go to the PSD. He's already committed to looking from afar.

Only Richmond fans think 16-17 is his value

If you go through the thread you’ll find plenty of posters from other clubs agreeing that a late first rounder is about his value. So you are demonstrably wrong.

dont get upset at us because your club literally came and said he is worth a pick in the teens

This is correct these West Coast fans cracking the with the Tigers when it's their own club that has offered Pick 14.

 

[dean33]

hawks are happy enough to offer 5 years, so your thoughts are irrelevant.

And your club is happy enough to offer 14 for the tiny half back flanker so your thoughts are also irrelevant

It sucks that we're effectively turning Barrass into Baker and change but from the perspective of the club we might be seeing it more as a way to get Baker and not have to include or downgrade pick 3.

That's not exactly true you are asking for 2 first round picks. Once Liam plays for West coast you won't regret it!! He is 110% in all contest, wish he would stay with us .

 

[Lyyynnnchy]

West Coast maybe offering up pick 14 is nuts. He's out of contract. You hold the leverage.

This should be WC's 2nd rounder and eventually Richmond relents and accepts. Throw in pick 65+ if Richmond need to pretend they held out for something valuable.

This is how it should be done. I can’t fathom why we publicly said we think he’s worth a pick in the low teens. It’s absolutely laughable

WC seem happy to post a pick in the teens so your thoughts are irrelevant

 

[Lyyynnnchy]

If we have to WCE just draft in the PSD , might not work but definitely could.

Looking a chance anyway .

What makes you think it’s a chance? We’ve effectively said we think he’s worth a pick in the teens which we’ll have once we agree on a trade with the Hawks for Barrass

I think it’s highly likely the trade for Baker has been agreed to and we’re just waiting for complete the Barrass trade

As much as it pains me

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Id suggest it says more about you and the fans that share your opinion than it does the people in the know at your club, you know, the people that do it for a living and watch more than a couple of the targets games

It’s a results business

16-17 isnt really a late first rounder anymore. First round currently goes to 23.

Yeah I said that but the posts got deleted.

Now you're just being obtuse.

Nice try

So have we got our first and future second yet?

LOL

If the middle of 23 is 11.5, how the **** is 16-17 not considered late?

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Not one Eagles fan alive thinks he is worth a early first rounder. We just think we are dumb enough to give you that.

Our club is as weak as a entity could ever be

 

[A Bit Dusty]

West Coast already have Baker in their 2025 team. Now we go for Pick 3

Yep. Graham on the bench for Sheed, Sheed to Northampton, Hewett to the wing.

Being in the second half of the 1st round doesnt mean its necessarily late first round

If we received 22 as a late first I'd be pretty annoyed. 15-18 are late firsts.
