What Did Liam Baker’s West Coast Best-and-Fairest Ask Richmond to Reconsider?
Updated: Aug 30
RTSSG’s full member feature, How Fortunate Were the Eagles to Gain this Ex-Tiger?, opens the evidence behind this question.
One season after leaving Richmond, Liam Baker won West Coast’s 2025 best-and-fairest and became an important part of another rebuilding club.
What did West Coast gain beyond possessions, and what did Richmond knowingly give up when an established premiership player moved on?
Is that actually the right way to read it? What changes when the evidence is placed beside Richmond’s wider list, role and rebuild context?
What contradicts the obvious explanation? Who or what does this put under pressure, and what would Richmond have needed to prove next?
Those questions are where the Public version stops. The full RTSSG member feature follows the evidence through to the judgement: How Fortunate Were the Eagles to Gain this Ex-Tiger?.
