Speculation Liam Baker

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.

Richmond's band would be standout 1 and then good even group from 2-6.

I know for a fact Freo think any of the first 10 coul be pick 1 before it falls off a cliff at 11...

Clarke said on gettable the other day it's about 1-5 from a WC POV.

Makes sense if they are referring to Reid

Will lodge a formal protest on behalf of everyone else

plays with heart like a 6 footer unlike your current KP duds ...

KP duds?

McGovern, Barrass, Allan, Waterman

Developing - J Williams, A Reid, H Edwards

Our KP players are the least of our worries

What is Baker good at? What do Fremantle need?

It's that simple.

You might say leadership, but we have players with the same type of grittiness ie Serong, Brayshaw and Young.

Hmmm… where was that grit when the game was up for grabs against port to clinch a finals berth?

Grunt midfielders perhaps

If you had watched enough of our games, you would already know he became a Mr fix it, which I hate.

As a pure forward, first 3rd of the year (ish) he averaged a goal a game and 20 touches - That's elite for HHF, was then thrown around

he can pinch hit in the middle when you need a different look, but is not a pure mid.

His best position is HB IMO, he is oneof the best disruptors in the game when played here, his ability to impact contests fanatically, either by getting a hand in when he shouldnt, back into packs or apply a smother is second to none. Add in is one touch and straight line running and fearless attack on the man and ball and you have a very good player that sets a standard that very few players do.

No doubt this post gets a few laughs, but that is usually a sign of their lack of knowledge and as someone that has seen his every game, I know for a fact I know more about him than the oppo fans sooking about his trade value.

Mr Not good enough to lock down a position

He is kind of like a rich man’s Jack Petrucelle in reality. It’s who he is replacing on our list atleast

Would both sides supporters dislike this enough to work?

Rich get 13, 22, 60
WCE get Baker, Graham, 30, 40, 48

The simple fact is WCE need picks and can't really trade them away at a pick count deficit.

Pick 22 is from Graham overpay rather than the band 4, end of R2 (39) he's worth on current money. All picks post 22 bumped back 1 spot.

What's the method behind the madness for us here?

can be simplified down to roughly 13 for Baker+30+40, puts Baker at pick17-18ish?

Ill always strongly oppose anything that includes west coast paying pick 20ish value or more, id be absolutely disgusted if we paid that much.
Pick 23 is the strong dislike that im willing to compromise with tbh, ideally we dont get him at all

Let’s just hope toce isn’t drooling over freos draft picks and this years draft as much as tigers supporters are in this thread.

Otherwise with Ralph the Richmond mouth whipping the tiger army masses into a ravenous draft pick haul fantasy land with every new article , the potential for disappointment amongst tiggy supporters only grows bigger and more problematic by the day .

It means by the time trade week rolls around and trades must be struck,the RFC will be left with no option but to save face and deal both Bolten and baker in a manner that is indeed very favourable to freo and west coast

Hmmm… where was that grit when the game was up for grabs against port to clinch a finals berth?

Serong - being hard tagged
Young - limping around with a broken leg
Brayshaw - BOG
