I feel like there is a lot of revisionist history going on here. Projectdignley was the only person who wanted Watson and every single other person on this board wanted to take Curtin.
Ryan Daniels reporting that eagles have put our f1 and their own f1 on the table to try to move up the draft order. It’s kind of insane how much draft capital they have wasted by refusing to just accept pick 14 for barrass.
Getting way too ahead of myself, but would getting the F3 back from eagles enable use to trade our remaining future first and second rounders for smith?
I replied to the post you lied in and explained it, get a grip.
I do think everyone really appreciates you being the barrass trade thread hall monitor though, so thanks
If you truly valued him more than potential draft picks you would have matched our offer and kept him happy.
As previously stated, you are lying about this being entirely driven by the hawks.
You’re coming off a 4 win season, just accept that you’re doing what most rebuilding clubs do and...
This is the last time I’m responding because you’re clearly not actually reading anything.
1. I didn’t say eagles have to match it, just that if they actually wanted him to stay and not push for a move, then they would have given there is no financial or cap based reason not to reward a life...
You keep doing this, if this was purely a matter of him “jumping ship” for money, you would just match the money offered and remove this issue entirely.
You have one of the worst lists in the afl, a supremely average draft hand and your club is doing the same thing that every club in your...
Barrass is a premiership winning champion of your club, the comparison with stringer (the least professional player in the comp) is genuinely laughable and probably the most desperate thing you’ve said in this thread.
if Barrass was such an absurdly important/crucial member of your current...
You’re the richest club in the afl and you have ample salary cap space, if this was purely about money you would have been able to get him to stay.
Your draft hand is woeful and you still have to turn over a significant proportion of your list. Stop pretending that this is some coup that has...
it’s actually a great strategy, even if you f*** up a draft like that, their fans can claim with no evidence that whichever player they passed on refused to come to the eagles and it’s all a massive conspiracy against the richest club in the afl 🙄
It is insane that the majority of the eagles board are unwilling to acknowledge this. Much easier to just sit there and claim that we came out of nowhere and brainwashed him mid season
If we were going to do that, why wouldn’t we have just offered the eagles pick 14 and our F1, received their f2 in return and not wasted time trading with Carlton?
Really loving the pick swap with Carlton, would be a bummer to miss out on barrass if that ends up happening.
Given the changes to matching academy and father son picks, those late firsts and second rounders will hold significant value next year and give us great flexibility in potentialy...
Almost a 0% chance we’re going to offer 2 future firsts.
If we really could have given 14 and our f1 for Barrass and the eagles f2 coming back then it makes no sense to trade 2 first rounders and end up with Carlton’s f2 instead of the eagles
