Baker is playing with a mode of protection to the body.
Can't blame him and it is in the best interests of himself, the upcoming trade period and richmond.
Mitch Cleary reckons JGTI is worth $650-700k per year as a free agent and that Eagles have some interest.
That'd probably get us a band 3 compo.

His good football was in the absence of our mids. Low numbers due to being in the forward line last game with Prestia back.

Ahhhh, If that is the case then yeah it would be good to have that 24 - 28 core to build the younger players around. The problem I see is that we don't want to have that core be too large and filled with inexperience (which can be argued it is currently). I would also want to fill that core with solid citizens as well. Maybe older players who may not be world beaters on the field but drive standards off the field. Still think that the recruitment of Ben Cousins was fantastic for this because you can say what you will about his adventures away from the club, that dude always was jacked and on field provided a lot of coaching and guidance to our young brigade.
With our list culls I really think that we should be looking at the players that are in the 21 - 24 bracket and that have less than 50 games and really make that determination on their ability. Real "gun to your head and your family" type thinking in the process as well.

Remember 600 - 750 is essentially the old 500 to 600 contracts. Also clubs pay extra because of the no need to waste draft picks.

Anything involving actual money is too much for Jack these days. WC are insane but great for us

Feels like yesterday signing up Lids, Rance, Cotch and even Dusty the contract prior to this one and $700k was an elite salary lel
I suspect their interest is by stealth to get bakes , they’re connected at the hip , holiday and play golf together

Will they enjoy playing for opposing teams but in the same state?
we laugh but imagine if this transpires. we've all locked in an imaginary draft haul of top end talent. kick starts the rebuild and we bounce back that much faster but all it takes is for oppo clubs to cool on our players and to **** us over with those late picks we horded and we're st kilda, stuck in shitsville.
"No-one left , no-one wanted trade in their late picks, they got one good player who was poached by Tasmania two years later and the club was eventually relocated to Darwin some years after that, their dynasty but a distant and faded memory..."
WTF would we pay half of Bolton's salary? To do that I'd want a top-3 pick, their first next year and a second-rounder. In fact, that's what I'd want for him anyway. They want him, they can pay him, and pay for him.
We should keep him anyway.
Jesus Christ. That is awful.

even better..
make it happen richmond
Some noises nothing concrete.
It is all explained earlier in the discussion.
If we are trading these well paid guys out, then obviously it leaves us with a pile of cap space. It makes perfect sense to me to use part of that cap space to get extra value in picks.
Nobody is going to moan about Bolton staying at the club on his current deal. He is worth that and more. But if you get an offer you can't refuse, take it. And if we were offered 7 & 14 for Bolton in a straight swap, but 7, 10 & 14 if we pay some salary, then pay the salary, take the extra pick. At the point we are releasing our best, most valuable and highest paid player then we are rebuilding. So you find every way you can within reason to get picks. Especially when there seems to be a draft full of talent throughout the first round and beyond. Cats paid about $1.6m in salary to get pick 7. So even $400k of Bolton's salary for 4 years should get us an extra pick. And it helps Fremantle. Which hinders any of our main rivals who may be contending.
So if we are going that way, I am all for it. But of course you are not doing anything without getting good value in return, especially when we have the whip hand.

I reckon our 2nd if it's first pick of night 2 will become a F1
