The reality is it wont be our choice. If Baker decides he wants to leave he will be traded where he wants to go. Unless its Essendon. I reckon we would let him walk before we accepted the future 6th rd pick Dodo (or his apprentice) would offer.

i think we also have Freo's rd 3, and WCE's rd 3? and i extra rd 4 pick.
That's not completely up to date post 2023 draft etc Draftguru have the updated list on their site.
Our current picks as of ladder after Rd 1 2024 are -
5,25,33,39,43,51,60,61,70
Shown this way, our draft hand is nowhere near as fancy as some would like to think. Obviously there's always the possibility of us trading some of our late junk picks for something of value to help clubs trying to protect their first rounder from Academy n F / S points requirements. We definitely need to have a Baker like trade to properly consolidate our draft position.
I mean, it doesn't look as good because like Taz said, it's not true & is missing an extra 2 3rd's and a 4th
*smile* Lore sold me pup.
I’ll try to sort that out as it’s misleading. Apologies all.
As I understand it both Baker and Broad will be out of contract free agents?
If both go maybe compensation picks after our first and second round picks?
Baker long contract and pretty big salary.
Broad 2 years at $500k?
Just saw Zippers post about being a vice captain. Can’t imagine that is right but yippee if it is.

Wrong on both of them.
Baker is out of contact but not a free agent.
Broad is contracted for 2025
Picks in the 40s, 50s, n 60s that's either rummaging around in the bargain basement bin or hopefully some points to pick trading for a club to protect themselves n select Academy or F / S players for junk picks.
Drafted as an afterthought. Played in a couple of premierships. After 7 or 8 years away from home playing at an interstate club, he's been elevated to a leadership role and would be on fairly decent coin. He's now perfectly poised to get traded back home on big ( but not elite ) coin to finish off his career, possibly with more chances to play finals ( Frockers ) before he's done.
Why in hell would he not think long and hard about the opportunity? Playing careers are rarely much over ten or twelve years he'd be crazy not to look around.
Come on Willo. We expect that sort of stuff from you on the Race, Religion and Politics board, but not here in the footy board.
I am actually tipping Baker will stay.
He is a loyal bloke, and the Tigers gave him a chance when neither WA club would.
Yeah, so he bought a house in Perth recently. Good investment while he is earning serious money.

2nd this year
And 2nd next year
Nathan broad good chance to
Be included in this deal
A second or future 2nd sounds ok for Broad. But if any of you want to swap Baker for a similar figure, then you are batshit crazy.
I don’t know if he has any long term interest in either of the WA clubs, but certainly Freo would appeal more in terms of possible soon to immediate future success.
They have three first rounders this year and 5-6 recently recruited first rounders with tall mid Young, from Melbourne, one of a few with considerable improvement already shown.
Can see why Baker might like to go but if he stays he is the stand out to become our next skipper. He is worth a lot more than a second rounder.
