Confirmed 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.

We are talking about current day two players not about a bygone era.

Joel Hamling has 1 Harris Andrews doesn't is he now more valuable?

Like Frampton?

Come on.

Anyway, when does Baker let everyone know his plans?

Not yet at least he had the manners to fulfill his contract, I have lots of respect for that.

I think he is waiting on the Eagles coach.

2 is better than 1 I last heard.

Here are a list (not exhaustive) of current players that are better than Bontempelli P.Cripps and equal to Bontempelli.

I'm learning a lot in this thread.

 

[Jeremias]

Please report trolls rather than engaging with them.

Quoting and replying = further derailing the thread, and more work for mods to clean up the mess.

Thanks.

Bont has a flag.......

 

[tiger_tough]

Threads going well I see

 

[Joao]

Bont has a flag.......

Sorry Bont!

They're only better than Cripps, but equal to Bont.

 

[Wrenny]

Hurry up Trade period, getting sucked into this thread is draining

 

[MadMundy]

Honestly Baker isn't worth that much, better going after a cheaper alternative like Riley Garcia, cheaper, younger and will grow to become better over time.

 

[Taylor]

Hi Taylor nice stats now how many premiership sides has Aish played in again?

Doesn't matter. It doesn't make the team they go to win a flag they've already won.

Role players by their nature are the passengers in the bus being driven by the key position and superstar players.

 

[Morro]

As to be expected, still massively underrating Baker in here, great, the melts will be even more epic.

 

[Coach_Required]

Think this thread needs to be closed until after the finals have finished.

 

[Elton Johns Wig]

It would be easier if you just said 'I didn't see him when he was at Freo'.

He was a good (very good) player. Who showed a lot of promise.

Gun is an overstatement. don't think he made the next step.

I don't throw gun around. Sorry if this offends. It's not meant to.

 

[eastfreo75]

Brownlow votes, dear me.

Harris Andrew must be a real spud then, he's only got 16 votes!!

It's a midfield medal and Baker isn't a key back or forward.

is a perfectly solid AFL player, but considering our current list and needs I don't think I have ever been less keen to trade for a player.

He’s not a midfielder either

 

[WilloTree]

Mate, not offended at all. Two top 5 bnf finishes in his 3rd and 4th year of AFL. The kid was a gun. Might still be if Crazy Vossy knew how good he was.

 

[Cactus_]

Current season disposal efficiency
Brad Hill 74.2%
Ed Langdon 72.5%
Liam Baker 65.8%

Don't disagree that he's a quality player, but deal in facts at least

Disposable efficiency is a crude measure of game impact

 

[Sherriff Incorporated]

Disposable efficiency is a crude measure of game impact

Yep exactly. I remember it was used by some on here to make out Danyle Pearce was a better kick than he was as his disposal effiency was good. Oh yeah one of those people was me. I was wrong.

There’s a reason you’ve been told you’re wrong ten times (and it’s not because you’re smarter than all the rest of us)

Not all of you, just the ones that can't read properly

I literally said in the post you quoted "he's a quality player". Just don't pretend his ball use his elite, it simply isn't. Both things can be true btw
