West Coast is reportedly open to trading its first pick (No.3) in the upcoming 2024 National Draft to secure Richmond's Liam Baker, but with a caveat.
Baker's desire to return home to Western Australia means the Eagles and Fremantle are his landing spots, with the former a club he grew up supporting.
However, it would be remiss to think that the chance of adding another premiership medallion to his two (2019, 2020) would be more likely at the Dockers.
But,ย Herald Sun's Jon Ralph believes that West Coast are willing to send over the illustrious third selection in this year's draft for Baker whilst also hoping a top-10 pick is returned.
This could see the Tigers end up with Picks 1 and 3.
The Eagles' willingness comes as the club attempts to accelerate its rebuild as it looks to lock down a senior coach.
Baker could be joined by teammate Jack Graham, who has also expressed his desire to head west.

Richmond are wanting Graham to stay and has upped their offer, but it's been heavily reported he wants to depart.
Contracted premiership defender Tom Barrass is likely to warrant a first-round selection in this year's draft, along with second-round picks, given his desire to head to Hawthorn.
As it stands, that pick could be No.12 from the Hawks, with a finals series pending.
The selections could be used on securing local talent in the draft, with Bo Allan likely around the mark.
