Speculation Liam Baker

Time for some house cleaning.

2) Enough with the personal attacks. It’s a long season and this one may go the distance, so if you want to remain a part of the discussion, do it respectfully.

We will use thread bans and infractions if necessary.

You are delusional if you think he is not worth more than Shultz

Shultz was contracted.

 

[Daka]

It'd be funny if he re-signs.

Everyone expecting him to leave including me and most Richmond fans.

 

[Daka]

Shultz was contracted.

Contracted or not Baker is a lot better player it's not even debatable. he has been a top 3 player at Richmond for 3-4 seasons.

Might as well say he's your number 1 player while you're at it.

He’s a better player, but he’s not worth a top ten pick.

I think Bolton is above him but Baker is probably next in line imo if your going by 3-4 year period.

 

[Daka]

He’s a better player, but he’s not worth a top ten pick.

I don't think he is a top 10 pick per say but I don't think he is back much further than that maybe a pick 12-15 is his real value he is certainly not 2nd round pick and with pushback academy's it might be...

He's up there... Equal 2nd, equal 4th and 6th in the Jack Dyers so that's what 4th best and some change.

5th best if you're going off the last 2 years discount?

 

[blaisee]

Ever heard of a contract?

How old are you ? 12?

This is ridiculous

 

[go_the_dockers]

If he does go it will be for the value of a top 10 pick

The market was set for Shultz last year and baker is a much better much more versatile player

Schultz was valued at pick 16 to 18.

Was contracted.

No where top 10.

If he was out of contract, it would have been a 2nd round pick

Contract makes a big difference. How can you not see that??

Shultz went for picks that Collingwood would assume to be in the 20s and 40s respectively(after NGA/FS picks).

That doesn't equate to a top 10 pick.

What Collingwood overpaid is also completely irrelevant.

Bias, obviously.

Ah yes, I created this account before I was born, before I was even conceived in fact!

Embarassing accusation mate

You look like a fool not understanding the difference between a contracted and uncontacted player but it seems that reputation is well known already on this board

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

When we are premiers, I will begrudgingly agree that a future 1st and pick 32 for Baker is fair

Lol

Baker is in for a contract that could go for 5 years for $5 m or more

But you reckon that’s not worth a top 10 pick equivalent ?

That’s not how the afl works


It’s all good

Let’s just see what happens

I doubt he gets paid that much.

700k is more than enough

1mil isnt what it used to be. "Good Players" will be on 1mil over the next few years, top 10 pick players will be on a lot more than 1mil

 

[The 747]

Classic trade board thread, posters from the players club pump him up, posters from the proposed acquiring club talk him down. Then both sides reverse positions once the trade is done.

 

[eaglevision]

The most likely outcome is Baker to Freo for their middle 1R pick. Our offer will be straight swap for our 2R. I hope he stays at Richmond.

You're selling yourself short with a top 10. Freo paid #2 for Lachie Weller so that means he's worth more than that. Pick #1.

That's how it works, doesn't it?

will end up yielding the value of picks and players between pick 5-10

2 time premiership player , can play anywhere , at his peak . Great soldier tough skillful and knows how to win .

Could play in any team in the league and make them better, simply a star .

Hope he stays but if he goes that what he is worth, and that is what Richmond will get

West coast and Fremantle both have the capital to make it happen .

I’ll be back in when the price has been paid to gloat .
