A couple of first rounders for Lukosius?
Vomit emojiBaker will be an Eagle and go straight into their leadership group.
Lucky for us, we already got JOM for that.

want.I really like Voss but seriously a forward line of Amiss, Treacy, Lukosius with Jackson floating through
Berry's write-up makes him sound like a Freo type given the defensive pressure.
Getting up to Moraes might be a good outcome too.
No club in the history of ever has traded in a 26 year old for more than a second round pick you're rightBloody hell
Other clubs bring in players Bakers age and get the rest of the competition to pay the draft pick tax
But not good old Freo
Oh no ….. we absolutely know what we’re doing
Absolutely sure of it
Not a shadow of doubt in our minds
I swear we’ve lost more games at the trade table than we have on the field and we’ve lost a shitload on the field

Would he behave here?We really should be looking at Stengle instead of Baker
Would he behave here?
He got done for drink driving and coke possession 4 years ago. Not excusing it but it’s far from the most disgraceful thing a footy player has been done for, clearly not disgraceful enough for a premiership team like Geelong to not recruit him.
Having a philosophy that all our players need to be 100% squeaky clean characters who’ve made 0 mistakes in their lives might get us moral victories but it won’t win us premierships.
I don't think he will, He's played forward before and racked up 12 goals for the year.He'll kick more playing forward and I disagree with the other post saying you hadnt notice maybe Emmett issues, Baker will lead to more goals being kicked by others
He didn't play fwd for the year, that's insane. His average position (as judged by Champion Data) has been defence for all except 2 seasons: his first season (fwd) and this season (midfielder-fwd).I don't think he will, He's played forward before and racked up 12 goals for the year.
Have seen him out in Adelaide a couple times in last 6 monthsHe got done for drink driving and coke possession 4 years ago.

So we’re going to recruit a defender and play him predominantly as our number 1 small forward option?
Classic Freo logic - and we wonder why our offence is still so s**t
Excuse my ignorance as I don't tend to watch Richmond, what exactly would Baker add to the team? Would he be a Best 23 player for us?
Also have heard things being swept under the rug down in Geelong, helps when everyone in the town goes for the same team.Have seen him out in Adelaide a couple times in last 6 months
I’d be staying well away
Baker is another JOM for me. Provides leadership, strength and class but:
1. he's not a goal kicker - our primary need; and
2. who does he replace? Our back 7 are sorted. JOM?
And if I was Baker, why would I go to Freo. Not guaranteed first 22, at least after 1st year and low down the list for $. Whereas at WC, guaranteed starter for the rest of his career and can demand decent money, and already has his premierships. Seems a perfect match.
Our primary need are Ballas/Walters types and a superstar mid if we can crowbar them out of another club. That's what get us to contend strongly the next few years. Use the picks anyway needed to achieve that. Anything else is an unnecessary distraction.
If they want him they'll get him. Might be a combo of player/picks or get another club involved.Can they really afford the draft picks? To prioritize someone of his age rather than young talent when Tazzie are coming in?
And if Geelong are happy for him to leave, well…..Also have heard things being swept under the rug down in Geelong, helps when everyone in the town goes for the same team.
Would be eaten alive in our fishbowl, best for him to stay in Geelong imo and I think he will.
