AFL Bombshell: West Coast's Pick 3 Trade Deal Leaves Fans FURIOUS!

West Coast fans have slammed the club for a controversial trade that had them trade out pick No.3 to land out-of-contract duo Liam Baker and Matt Owies on Tuesday.

The news sent shockwaves across the AFL community, leaving many to wonder if the Eagles had made a huge mistake by giving up such a valuable draft pick for two uncontracted players.

While Liam Baker and Matt Owies are undoubtedly talented players with a lot to offer, giving up a top 3 pick is a huge gamble that could potentially backfire for the Eagles in the long run.

With pick No.3, the Eagles had the potential to snare one of the top young talents of the draft, providing them with a wealth of options to build their list for the future.

Instead, they opted to trade the pick away for two players who, while experienced, may not ultimately live up to the hype and expectation that comes with such a high draft pick.

The backlash from the fans has been swift and severe, with many taking to social media to express their discontent with the trade.

'I'm absolutely livid about the trade,' one fan posted. 'Giving up pick 3 is a joke. What were we thinking?'

Another fan chimed in, saying, 'Baker and Owies are okay players, but they're not worth a top 3 pick. This trade is a disaster waiting to happen.'

It's not just the fans who are questioning the trade, either. Many pundits and experts have weighed in, expressing their shock and disappointment at the Eagles' decision.

'I don't get it,' said one AFL expert. 'The Eagles had the chance to get a game-changer with pick 3, and instead they went for two players who are decent, but not elite.'

Despite the backlash, the Eagles are standing by their decision, with the club's list manager saying that Baker and Owies will provide the team with much-needed experience and depth.

'We're thrilled to have Liam and Matt on board,' he said. 'They're both quality players who will fit in well with our team and provide us with the skills and experience we need to succeed.'

Only time will tell if the Eagles made the right call in trading away pick 3 for Liam Baker and Matt Owies. But one thing is for sure - the heat is on, and the pressure is mounting.
