Yes, but I doubt the Weagles would want that.
Maybe we can make a move with Brisbane or GCS, who will surely be looking to trade back or out of the draft.

Would you accept a future first rather than a first this year if one of our guns wanted a trade?

??? If you count Burton than Chad was 2 firsts. JOM was 1 first.

If that is all that was available I would certainly entertain a future first as a starting point to negotiating a trade.

Just just the **** up.
And it’s rational, not rationale. If you’re going to pose as a pseudo intellectual at least get the intellectual part right.

The AFL draft system is and continues be the compromised in world sport - just craziness

I know a guy at AFL House & he just told me that Russia withdrew its application for an AFL license due to a lack of transparency & integrity within the league's administration.

Trading our first for Barrass makes me wish we got McKay last summer 
And I was kinda happy we didn’t.
It’s either a steep price or this draft isn’t much at the top end.

Need to go shopping at clubs that have had their premiership window closed. Petracca this year and Balta next year.

Are you saying he is actually dead? I hope we don't trade for him, then.

I’ll go out for Balta this year Richmond wants picks also and is younger with no major injuries, Mitchell could turn him into the next Chris Langford.

He's 24.
Surely they'd hope/expect him to be a pillar of & lead the rebuild.
It's Lynch et al. they should be trading out
Noah Balta is always injured haha.
The Hawks are trying to find a KPD
Tom Barrass.
The Hawks have reportedly (taken with a grain of salt) tabled a 4 or 5 year deal for Tom Barrass who will be 29 years old in October this year. He is contracted to the Eagles until the end of 2027 (when he will be 32).
As good as he is, and as much as the Hawks need a player like him, I cannot understand why the Hawks would go after him. Especially given his injury status. This is a quote from Barrass himself.
“It was a compression fracture to my T8 (vertebrae), and I’ve wedged about five of my other vertebrae a bit shorter. It’s just something I’m going to have to manage forever. It still gives me a bit of trouble in my everyday life. It’s OK when I’m moving, but as soon as I’m static, I feel like I’ve got a broken back again. It’s a permanent thing, and it’s something that I work on from the second I wake up. I’ve got to do my mobility and get moving and find a way to come to work.”
These were the confronting words of Tom Barrass in February during an interview with 7NEWS, reflecting on the injury that ended his 2023 season after he fell awkwardly in a marking contest against Richmond and landed on his neck.”

Barrass got the injury playing footy and so it is not unreasonable to think a contact sport like AFL could create another impact that would end his football career (hopefully not, he seems a refreshingly honest and likeable man).
Worse for the Hawks, to get a contracted player, it will cost big time in terms of picks.
For me, the risk is not worth the reward with Barrass (197cm). If we are set on getting a KPD, throw some more money at the UFA in Josh Battle who will be 26yrs old in September this year and has no chronic injury issues. And surely he likes what he sees with the Hawks future. He may not be overly tall (193cm), but neither is Steven May (193cm). Battle is low risk in that he would be in the Hawks best 22 from the first game in 2025. And he has no history of significant injuries. He would be perfect at CHB.
… and then we wait for McCabe (197cm) to come on… which may not be too long given the poise and talent he has shown in his first couple of games at Box Hill.
