Please tell me you haven't heard that from the bloke on X (formerly Twitter) who is spruiking that he knows so much but then covers himself by constantly saying "it may happen it may not"

***BTW I don't follow the bloke he's suddenly appeared in my feed as a number of my friends follow him

[georgies31]

Will be crazy to keep Baker his replaceable. Him Graham for me both should go.

Pick 9 and F1 not enough. Freo will finish top 4 next year

Agree, they are saying Petracca is worth more than Bolton pfffft

Agree with this.

I'm ok with a future first and it being in the teens as it spreads out talent pool.

But they'll need to improve 9 into top 6 if they want to give us a pick 14-18 pick as steak knives. Pick 9 isn't good enough. This could really benefit as the top 6 picks look absolutely elite.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Baker stays now - West Coast in disarray, how can they pitch a future when no one is sure who their coach will be.

We should be pushing Baker out the door unless he’s willing to sign a long term contract!
He’s an unrestricted free agent next year without a contract, if we don’t act now we could lose him for nothing!

[TigerLand]

I've said all along if we keep Baker and trade Rioli and Bolton we will win out hugely.

Mainly cause Daniel and Shai are contracted and we will facilitate good trades. If we get picks 6, 9 and 10 for Shai and Daniel that will set our rebuild up insanely well.

If that ends up being Jagga Smith, Josh Smillie/Murphy Reid, Whitlock/Armstrong and maybe a sliding Lalor. Far out that is a foundation of a premiership side in 4-5 years.

No reason we can't do a Bulldogs with what they did with Bont and Macrae as well.

Sad to see Rioli and Shai are likely to be traded but the beauty of being co reacted we should be well compensated for their value in draft picks which is what we desperately need pre Tassie.

It's essential we land those 3 first round draft picks or at worst 6 and 9 and a future first from Freo.

[pmac21]

No way 9 & future first gets this done. 
9 & 10 starting point

[Andyy]

2 first rounders for each of them.

Or they can throw in key forwards.
Amiss, Treacy, Walter, King etc.

[Tiger Khosh]

Yeah I’m not taking a future 1st from freo. Can’t imagine they finish any lower than they did this year especially with bolts in their side. It’s their first 2 this year or nothing imo.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Yep. Compare what we would get if they were free agents. This year, it would be picks 2 & 3. So the points from those picks are the starting point for any negotiation

[WilliamPowell]

Wonder if there will be a need to bring in another Club to get these deals done, to get more picks inside the top 10
