The media are just guessing. Everything is "likely" or "possibly" when they talk about Baker going back to WA.

Anyway, Jon Ralph just said Baker was an Eagles fan growing up. He loves the Tigers but the offer to go home is one too big to pass on. Freo currently have 3 picks inside the first round - 10,11,13 - and are in the window [ed. are they?]. Eagles may look to split their first pick (currently pick 4) and offer one of the split picks for Baker.

According to a popular Tiger podcast that airs every Monday night - there’s a strong chance of Liam staying.

From Callum Twomey's X (Twitter)

@CalTwomey

Richmond has stepped up its bid to keep Liam Baker by offering a longer term contract, with Fremantle having offered a five-year deal to bring the premiership star back west.

short sighted.... very good player and leader at his best but hardly untouchable or irreplaceable.... :shh
