Even with GC acting that way Hawks still didn’t walk.
In another interesting part to that GC wanted the Hawks first plus more and then were angry when the Hawks traded that pick for Tom Mitchell…that pick was #14…now 18 years ago Hawks have traded pick 14 when West Coast wanted it plus more...
Good clubs don’t get good players to request moves to them and then walk away. Poorly run clubs like Essendon do.
I am getting the slight feeling from every single post for the last few weeks that you aren’t interested in Barrass but it will get done or at the very least they will work as hard...
So are you standing on wanting Houston over Barrass when Hawthorn has Impey, Amon, Hardwick and the other ones that rotate through that role like D’Ambrosio, Jiath, Weddle, Morrison, Mitchell etc
Yes he is better than all of these guys in theory but not at the asking price for need
You have...
Can’t compare them in totality though. Yes okay age but different positions, different contracts, different assets to put up in trade
But no Houston isn’t where they should be going. That would be getting someone for the sake of it
If you want a laugh check out the comments on the Richmond tweet about compo
If you want a reality check compare it to everything said in here about our players being worth less that everyone else
It’s eerily similar
Why would they want Lewis though? Cadman coming, Hogan, Riccardi, Brown etc not exactly a position of need
Plus would need enough cap space to turn Lewis’ head
Seemingly Brisbane has known for 12 months that Daniher might be retiring so there should be contingencies in place for them now would...
It is interesting when looking at Mitch Lewis vs Joe Daniher when Brisbane picked him up as a RFA
Mitch Lewis currently 25 but will be 26 headed into next season, Daniher was 27 in the 2021 season (his first at Brisbane)
In 8 years at Essendon Daniher played 108 games and kicked 191 goals...
Love people every year standing on the “it’s on our terms or we walk”
It’s very rarely all on one teams terms and teams just don’t walk when they get a player of TBs standard to request a trade to them
Barrass deal will take some time
Teams rarely do anything until they know it won’t effect other trades they want to do
Battle papers might get done tomorrow though
there’s nothing happening right now so people discuss other things. When something starts to happen Hawthorn related it is discussed in depth
Maybe come back then if you’re concerned about the rest of us talking to eachother about things that are happening
While I understand it goes against the narrative you’re pushing IF Dylan Stephens was a Hawk they would of got 19 because North were trading those picks as they were no guarantee of retaining it this year
thats a big assumption to make. We dont really know yet how many will get band 2 which is what you are discussing
but yes in the same way that people are saying picks might be better or worse based on draft position, there might be some free agent compensation
or...just the same way there...
we are also the buyer
so it is on us to take the risk. Otherwise West Coast keep him
It will get done, it will shock us all in one of two ways...hopefully its the shock we got him cheap but history shows its more likely to shock that we are uneasy with what we gave up
This is I think where the issue is...some people think the two firsts for Barrass and a second coming back is an overpay.
I simply dont but very interested to see how it plays out
