How about Neil Erasmus. Highly touted bottom aged mid when drafted went at pick 10 in 2021.
Was always going to be a slow burn but is now starting to come into his own.
Was bog for peel thunder in their prelimanary final on the weekend and it seems he cannot break into Fremantles team atm.

Maybe we can include him in the Bolton deal or Baker deal if he chooses Fremantle or something.

"Slow" being the key word there - unless you think our midfield still not quite slow enough as it is....  :shh

He'd be a steak knife at best, surely.

Still time to improve but 3 years in the system and has amounted to diddly.

Has had a few lean years but admittedly WCE have been absolute dogshite.

Not a bad player IMO, question is whether he's finished or another club can get two serviceable years out of him.

Disagree he may lack explosive speed but he is not slow a lot like Cripps in some ways.

He is a genuine mid/fwd and he is damn good in both roles.
Now a 192cm mid who is only now  coming into his own with size and strength.

Baker needs to select WC

It's tied to Port. So wherever they finish.

OK so at best it’s pick 16 which will probably get pushed close to 20 after academy/father son bids.

Let’s say for arguments sake it’s 9, 10 and 20 for Bolton and baker. Not the worst offer but I’d be hoping for something in the mid teens for Bakes. Would rather take their future first although I’d imagine it would end up too different from ports 1st this year.

that deal is hopeless

Baker to the eagles for the barrass compo. Pick 20 odd for baker. No thanks freo

Word is if we get picks 6 & 12 for Rioli, WC will offer us pick 3 for Baker & pick 12..... :shh

Freo fans want Bolton for 9+17 and salary contributed.

And both club fans think Baker is worth around 20-25.
