Herald Sun (Jon Ralph) is now reporting that West Coast is Liam Bakers “strong preference” over Fremantle.

Can anyone copy paste or archive this?

 

[JackOutback]

Not interested unless we get him on the cheap trade-wise. Which we won't, so they can keep him or the dockers can have him.

I suspect whether we do or don't trade for him won't have much to do with whether you think they can keep him or the Dockers can have him Given the leaking interest, people might want to get used to the idea.

Weird comment, nothing we say on here has much impact on anything the team decides to do, was just expressing my opinion much like any of the other thousands of posts on this forum.

Honestly the only line that mentions it in the article says as follows:
"Vice-captain Liam Baker’s strong preference is believed to be a trade to West Coast, instead of Fremantle."

 

[Broken_Chairs]

Keen for Baker, an AFL end of first round priority pick would about the right price...

The issue is I don't think we'll get one

to trigger band 2 or band 3 compo plus a second rounder is the way to go for Baker.

I'd be livid if we split our first or gave up 2 seconds for him, but I don't think we're that stupid.

 

[TerryFilk]

Stoked about the Baker news, I’m all for it as long as it doesn’t require us splitting our first.

As far as this year’s trade targets go we should not involve our R1 or F1 in any capacity. As I’ve previously said if you want to game the system Norf style, band 1 FA deal for Graham so Tigers get a top 5 pick then we trade our F4 for Baker and pay him the base wage. Jack and Liam then go halves in Jack’s wage. Everyone wins.

Alternatively tell the Dogs and Tigers we have a 2R and a F2 to trade for Baker and Buss. First in gets the 2R, last past the post gets F2.

I’d rather just leave Baker for Freo.

Baker will decide where he goes and if he picks us then beggars can't be choosers. Busslinger, Baker and Graham in for 2 second rounders would be a great result, top 5 even.

There’s no world where we pay Graham enough to trigger band 1 FA compo. Band 2 would be a stretch

Maybe band 3

If Baker does choose us I hope we offer either our R2 or F2 and say that’s the best we can do

It’s unders but we’ve been on the wrong side of a trade like that in the past, most recently with Rioli

Any Graham talk is separate

And please don't tell me we're gonna be splitting our first pick for another Liam Duggan

Agree with all of the above, was more of a piss take of the system. I still think Baker’s too old for the age profile we should be looking at outside of FA
but I’d sleep at night if we got Buss and Baker for our 2R and F2 in either combination.

I’d rather wait until next year and have a crack at Ed Richards, Kane Farrell and Brandon Starcevich via FA in addition to the obvious Sam Taylor attempt.

OOC next year and in a better age profile than Baker if we’re giving up draft capital are:

Chad Warner
Finn Callaghan
Judd McVee
Angus Sheldrick
Riley Hardeman
James Tunstill

Our F2 for example would possibly be enough for any of the last 4 on that list next year as our 2R.

Baker is not a champion but he’s a VERY good footballer! Skilful and tough! You don’t get to be V Captain at Richmond by being a mug!
Only 27 so got years to go.

 

[Cuzz09]

look I'm happy to get Baker but I don't wanna lose a 1st rounder over him.

Rather have Sid Draper for 15 years

And more importantly; if true; he has nominated WC! We are a destination club!! Suck it bitch!!!!!!

There's no timeline that we trade our first for a 27 year old at this stage

That would truly be the darkest timeline

 

[eaglesnutcase]

Steady down fools. Not a low single figure trade but a low second rounder.
If he wants to come here then it’s very hard to stop and it lowers his trade value
