Speculation Liam Baker - Reportedly headed west

Time for some house cleaning.

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.

Don’t disagree but looks like it could be happening.

I honestly can't see how wce could possibly be that stupid. They'd get far better value trading 3 to another club or for a future 1st.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Carlton need to have this signed tonight before WCE can wake up and realise they're being fleeced.
Teens picks and Owies for Pick 3. Insane.

 

[stallon]

The only guys they have on the table young or Kennedy aren't worth a top 10 trade. Can't see how they get 3.

Unless there is someone else we dont know of? I dont rate Carltons depth that highly, not a lot in the cupboard to add id have thought.

 

[stallon]

Man, sorry, but the demand for Owies is so low, he is moving across the country to a rebuilding side and away from home. I don't think he's worth anything and Carlton must be pinching themselves.

Yea hes worth nothing, but if he was to be traded normally(in contract) he probably fetches a mid 30s pick. Carlton committed to delisting him so hes worth nothing now

 

[Pure_Ownage]

PO gold coast literally paid u pick 7 to take a good player off their books. This wouldn't even crack the top 10

While that was stupid it at least had the salary cap rationale.
What the hell would be wces rationale in this deal?

 

[stallon]

I cannot understand why he hasn't been given a deal at the Blues completely unfair. their cap must be literally bursting and would prefer a draft prospect on minimum wage, that must be it, because it doesn't make sense any other way why he wasn't given a deal because Carlton signed up worse ppl on their list than Owies.

Owies was the only small forward they had who was OOC

Owies clearly just a superstar

Carlton don't have the currency to get to 3.

No joke, Freo got this Micallef guy from GC when we lost our list manager to Carlton, he was so bad, even Gold Coast were like "wtf are they doing". We fired him within 6 months and Bell made him sit in the corner and do nothing for his one and only trade period with us.

I reckon if this trade goes through Clarke should have to join him at Centrelink.

Is this a true story? Never heard of him.

 

[bluebaggerjuls]

thank you richmond for driving a hard bargain for baker!!

 

[Cactus_]

None of this seems to make sense

But it is going to be stunning coup for the Carlton list managers if they are about to turn 12 and 14 into 3 with no else of genuine value that I’m aware of (they’re next pick is a fourth rounder)

Is that a photo of Clarke looking for a new job?

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Yeah it is, we immediately promoted Walls afterwards and haven't looked back.

A deal that this morning was off is now back on thanks to (likely) DFA Matt Owies. Make it make sense.

 

[Keystone agony]

Has to be atleast Carltons F2 ontop of the other 3 surely

That is the final piece of worth carlton have left

They can't trade the F2.

Can't trade F2 and F3 without getting another or getting a F1 again

 

[Corkintheocean]

Why the hell would we be giving up our only high first round pick, mid rebuild for blokes we can be picking up in the PSD?

 

[Saint Shags]

I'm trying to figure out how the Eagles hierarchy think this is a good idea?
Surely there has to be more to it. Owies was going to be delisted. How the hell does he become the sweetener of the deal?

 

[Iceman!]

Has to be more to this trade that is yet to be reported. I refuse to believe any club is this stupid to make that trade... Surely.

 

[mayne iac]

Carlton f1?
