Welcome Liam Baker

Has anyone done that and not got the result they wanted?
There was a port player wanted to get to Collingwood and ended up at Carlton.

I think he had some criminal issues post footy, so won't mention his name.

I'm not saying paragraph 1 and 2 are linked.
 
This one should be straight forward.

We should end up with Hawks pick.

Probably 12 -14.
What do the Eagles get Baker?

Eagles want Denver Granger Barass in the deal I'm being told.

Eagles : Baker. & DGB
Hakws: Barrass
Tigers : Pick 14

Struggling to remember a club that has had such a mass exodus of top line talent in one hit.

PSD he’d have to get past Norf as well. Which I doubt would happen. Clarkson is on record saying he wants senior players.

Worst case scenario they’d pick him up and use him as trade currency the following year if necessary.

Won’t happen.

Cant help but think he is the one I want to keep the most. Rioli and Bolton will give us draft capital. Baker not so much
 
The sky will stop falling as soon as FOS lands a bullet on Shanahan's tit and he drills it from 40.

The risk of Norf picking him up will guarantee that he pushes Freo or Eagles to get a deal done

Was really hoping he would stay. Senior players leaving, is there an issue with Yze or more $$$$ elsewhere ?
For Bakes it's probably a combo of back home with a pay rise.
Sausage might be a fat pay rise n a lifestyle change with a cuddle from Dimma thrown in.
$hai, stated family reasons.
Fridge, already been looking around so career n perhaps a role change. Perf would also be a more similar type of city to Radelaide then Smelbourne also.

Pick 14 for Baker hey? What’s the cons of going for WC first round pick for ‘25? That should be pick 4-8 ish. Try and spread this bounty of incoming draft picks over 2 drafts.
 
We'll have more first rd picks than gws in their first year
