Interesting point you make there Shady, about the delivery of ball into the forward 50 and it's that which I find Liam Baker a prospect who could help us. Since all the talk about his likely coming to us in the trade period I've made a point of watching some of Richmond's games. They are hopelessly undermanned at the moment and their better players like Bolton, Martin and Baker are singled out and nullified by opposition teams but what I noticed about Baker was his ball use when he does get the ball is usually quite effective and he frequently pinpoints a forward on a lead or sets up a good scoring opportunity. This is is one area where our current group are generally useless except for the occasional effort. Now I'm not suggesting we pay overs for him but I think one of our first round picks plus a 3rd or 4th rounder might get the job done and he does offer quite a bit of upside. One scribe I read today claims that we've already got a 5 year deal on the table for him so I suggest we get used to the idea that he may be in Purple next year, like it or not. I just hope that the salary is not too much as Young, Serong, Brayshaw, Darcy and a few others warrant higher payments than him.
