Was told that Saints did offer 7+F1 for 3.What I’m struggling to get my head around is how no other club trumped Carlton’s offer for pick 3. Amazing.
Port got to greedy, and its come back to bite themSure, but they gave up 2 x 1sts, 1 x 2nd and Matt Owies for pick 3... not Dan Houston.
Dan Houston wouldn't have cost them the above.
How? The deal sucks, but it wouldn't have been any better with Carlton.Port got to greedy, and its come back to bite them
Many Tigers fans have banged on about how Baker is worth pick 14, he is an elite player as ranked by Champion Data.Was told that Saints did offer 7+F1 for 3.
Do you think that was likely. Surely most clubs with picks 5-10 could have done the same. Tigers would be th key one but for some reason they are not that keen to get 2 of the top 3 guys. They must rate only one and then next 10 shoudl be on same level.
Eagles problem was not being able to convince Tigers that Baker was not worth pick 14. Not even rusted on Tiger fans think that so not sure how the Tigers LM would think that.
Would have had a better deal if Eagles took Hawks F1+F2 offer on table yday morning. Convinced Tigers to take the F1.
Keep the F2 and made deal for 3 for 12+14+Owies.
They end up with 3 for 12+14+Owies+F2
I know Eagles are hoping for 2 F1's but will never happen after hawks saw how the last few hrs has gone. So assume it is still F1+F2 and not anything less.
Eagles end up with 3 for 12+F1+Owies+F2.
Eagles problem was giving Tigers anything more than a F1 or late late teens for Baker and not being willing to walk away.
If they held on to 3 by itself, likely would have had offers coming through right untill draft night and kept on trading up & build a war chest for Chad warner raid.
Suns converted pick 4 last yr to 6 first rounders since they were patient.
Eagles Baker commitment via their new coach made them impatient.

Are you sure?Eagles getting Baker, Owies and pick 12 for pick 3 is a huge overpay, however given the Eagles current list and relative ladder position, and the fact that Baker and Owies will both be best 22 filling roles of need for the Eagles, it isn't the worst ever trade
Never again will I laugh at a flog offering up two list cloggers for a top 5 pick in a good draft.Carlton gave up fair value for #3.
Pick 13, 2025 R1 and R2 and Owies.
The club not getting a good return is West Coast. They've sold out cheaply.
Don't speak to soon.Hawks fans are insanely sour we knocked back their scrappy offer.
Baker and Owies are both walk up best 22, Baker will be a top 5 player for us, and we got pick 12.Never again will I laugh at a flog offering up two list cloggers for a top 5 pick in a good draft.
Because West Coast may just be the club to make that happen.
Just waiting for the club to turn another mid first round pick into a bust. It's the WCE way.In all seriousness, this is the type of move that kills the Eagles rebuild. Especially considering they did the same thing with the pick that got Sheezel to North Melbourne.
Walk up best 22 at the worst team in the comp doesn't mean they aren't list cloggers.Baker and Owies are both walk up best 22, Baker will be a top 5 player for us, and we got pick 12.
I'm not saying we won the trade by any stretch, but calling them list bloggers is obviously disingenuous.
Yeah, you're a moron.Walk up best 22 at the worst team in the comp doesn't mean they aren't list cloggers.
Mate, Owies is a C tier small forward who will be 28 next year.Yeah, you're a moron.
If you think Baker is a lower end performer you might be the biggest nuff I've ever encountered. Embarrassing lack of footy knowledge.Mate, Owies is a C tier small forward who will be 28 next year.
I'm not going to pander to this kind of delusional optimism. What need did he so desperately fill that it was worth breaking up pick 3, likewise Baker, who is at least closer to semi serviceable?
This isn't hate, they are simply lower end performers on not great teams. Moving to an even more hopeless squad (debatable between WC and Richmond). Putting 3 on the open market might actually have netted something of value.
Oh, so you've moved on from Owies?If you think Baker is a lower end performer you might be the biggest nuff I've ever encountered. Embarrassing lack of footy knowledge.
