Head down n arse up busy workin as he should be. No need to roll him out at the moment coz even the meedjia understands that we're half crippled with injury and aren't bothering to have a crack at us.He has been very quiet in recent times, has the chief.

Hate to see Bakes go. Love him. But. If the touted money on offer of $1m (potentially +) are true and we are more around the $750k pa. Then an extra $1.25m to him to go home is pretty damned attractive.
Stay at Tiges? He is 26 at the moment. Are we in the window for a flag in his remaining playing days? At the moment probably not.
Go to Freo. Gets back to WA and pockets more money for his trouble. Freo are in better shape for a crack at the flag in the next 4-5 years than we are.
We have a number of picks available in the draft now. Looks like an earlyish pick on our own. Freo will have to cough up something decent for a dual premiership player who has plenty of miles left in the tank. The draft will potentially be compromised to help Tassie pretty soon. So we need to get young talent in before that happens.
Very plausible that he will be heading home. Yze has said he won’t stand in his way if he decides to go back to WA. Think the Clubs will sort something out to everyone's satisfaction if he states he wants to go.
What do you mean 'you can't blame Baker?'It looks like he may get an offer he can't refuse. If that is the case then you can hardly blame Bakes if he leaves, it's a short career as a footy player. Will always be a favourite at Richmond.

I think 2 things are true, saying we can't blame him for leaving for a better deal isn't the same as saying he can take a dump on the way out, he's allowed to go & chase a better deal, but you'd have every right to expect he does it in the right wayWhat do you mean 'you can't blame Baker?'
Heaps of people turn down money because the environment they are currently in, ask Riewoldt, ask Dusty ask Richo.
If it wasn't for us, Baker would be milking Cows.
He owes us. Either he stays or he makes sure he picks a club that compensated us.
He came through the Richmond Academy The Rookie draft.I think 2 things are true, saying we can't blame him for leaving for a better deal isn't the same as saying he can take a dump on the way out, he's allowed to go & chase a better deal, but you'd have every right to expect he does it in the right way
Who is Baker's player manager?Think the Clubs will sort something out to everyones satisfaction if he states he wants to go.
Yep and don't forget Matt Clarke now there.Watching tonight - surely bakes picks the eagles. Harley Reid will be carrying the side on his back within the next 2 years, and freo are their usual mediocre selves. Trade will be interesting - do the eagles think they have enough talent to give up a top 5 pick for bakes?
Depends, they will never give up a pick under 10 for Baker.Watching tonight - surely bakes picks the eagles.

But i won't accept our 1st pick for there's if they finish under us.
Yeo for Baker
Yeo, who's only played like 10 games in the past 3 years, with our strength & conditioning department? Better ask the eagles to throw the set of crutches he'll inevitably need. (And even if we've got a new S&C group by then, they'd be too unproven for it to be safe to deliberately bring in someone that injury prone)Yeo for Baker
Couldn't agree more. We are usually pretty easy. Time to lose that reputation.Spot on AT.
Don't understand why we have to be so easy to deal with.
Happens every Trade/Draft period.
Time for the Tiger claws to come out.
Yeo?
He's 30.
Who do you think we are . . . Geelong?
DS
Yeo is rising 31 and injury prone, has played 43 games in the last 5 seasons.Depends, they will never give up a pick under 10 for Baker.
