AFL: The Fox Footy boys look into the news that the West Coast Eagles has traded pick 3 in the AFL draft.
Only hours after West Coast split its Pick 3 with Carlton amid a mega three-club trade to acquire Liam Baker, the risk and reward of the deal caught the eye of pundits and Eagles fans alike.
Watch the Trading Day Deadline Special live on Fox Footy from 7pm AEDT on Wednesday October 16. New to Kayo?, journalist Max Laughton firmly believes that the Eagles were well within their rights to work themselves down this year’s draft pecking order for Baker’s services - as well as that of former Blue Matt Owies and Pick 12.
“That’s a risk though - 12 months ago, we thought Logan McDonald at this time might want to come back to Fremantle he eventually re-signed with Sydney,” Waterworth replied. “Second one said: ‘I don’t think the Eagles would be happy, but they committed to Baker, and had little choice after the Hawks deal fell through. Bold call but they’ll take the heat for now.’
“Let’s just say that the equivalent of that draft - if you’re outside the first three, you’ve probably got a good player, but not an all-time great,” Brereton explained. Waterworth believes that the Blues will now target the highly touted Finn O’Sullivan with Pick 3, who has drawn comparisons with Bulldogs superstar Marcus Bontempelli for his balanced inside and outside game.
