The bloke wants to go home.
What's the point of picking him?
Do you remember David Williams he wanted to go to Melbourne, we took him in the preseason and he never turned up.

They're rated evenly, not necessarily highly, you really don't know until afterwards. I'd be spreading our picks over 2 years and I think we will. If we were to get say 6 round 1 picks, to me it makes more sense to push 2 to next year. That would be 4 first rounders this year, 3 next year. The added benefit is you get a better idea of how those from this year and other youngsters are going which may change the priority of type of player to go for next year.
Yes, my point was it makes sense to split our 1st rounders over 2 seasons, not necessarily what method is used to get it done. Whichever is likely to get the best deal or even both ways.
Yes why would we give up our 1st pick in the PSD to redraft someone who wants out? Should be plenty of good prospects to pick from. We don't reay have alot of bargaining power with Baker but clubs generally don't want to rort other clubs as they'll get the favour returned in the future.
Frekmantle is also in WA if thats his wish
Both clubs have contracts on the table and freo were 1st to want him
Baker would not have had a career if not for Richmond
Lets just get a pick for Baker and stop trying to get pick 3 because all the top 20 kids are quality.
Reid or Langford would be unreal at 6 or 9
P.s ohhh 2017 it still hurts for little dyke

Did anyone ever suggest pick 3 for Baker? I'm seeing headlines like "No deal" about it but was anyone expecting it? If RFC did ask for it at least they are showing some balls.
Still not out of the question that we score pick 3 for Bakes but would have to give back one of the 2 first rounders we are asking off Freo for Bolton. All Pyke has said is, it’s not a straight swap. Which is fair enough.
I'm saying keep the picks.
Fos form has been patchy.
Is he worth 2 1st rounders?.
That's what your saying
Nah. Just that if we want pick 3 it won’t be a straight swap for Bakes. It would need further sweetening to get pick 3 off West Coast.
Cal Twomey reporting that all the way through Baker's decision between Freo/WC was him wanting to know how the deals would get done.
Twomey then says 'Fremantle has pick 10 on the table and I expect WC to have pick 13 on the table'.

I have to say this is weird. Is Ooze really a bad bloke or have some of these seniors really become selfish?
