Thanks for the share. Shrewd journo who knows his audience.
what the everloving **** does "closing in on" a contract mean?

Absolutely minor/useless info but I know for a fact Petracca rates the Hawks list massively.
Said directly to my best mate and another Firey over the off-season that he thought the Hawks would be the big improvers this year and said our midfield would soon become one of, if not the best in the comp.
My best mate is a dirty Cats fan so was surprised after talking footy with him, how much Trac loved the Hawks list as my mate didn't rate our list at all.
Doesn't mean anything of course but was good to hear other elite players could see our potential.

Imagine if we land Barrass, Trac and Battle.

The dumb thing is either they take a first round and rebuild with it or take nothing and stick with a 29 yr old who adds nothing to their future plans?
Time to cash in on the goodwill trades (Mitchell + Lewis).

Trealour and Dunkley said as much last year in their pod, even predicted we'd give finals a shake this year.

I suppose we could look at trading any of Hustwaite, CJ, Ward, Reeves/Ramsden, DGB, Mitchell and Morrison if we pulled those three deals off - not that I'm saying we should. But good players would be missing out.

I'm certain it isn't possible, but if we got all three of Trac, Barrass and Battle, we'd realistically have the best defence and midfield in the league.

He is a Eastern Ranges boy after all, we need to bring him home.
Or rent it to Barrass.

West Coast refused to trade him, Sydney were chasing him again this year.

Yep one that they've gone back on a promised contract re-negotiation. There's no way in hell Barrass will play for them next season after that happening which is why we are where we are now.
The meetings that Sam + Adrian Hickmott recently had with Tom and his management would've been the first steps in a feeling out process on how serious we are in getting him across. I assume the next steps will be what we're willing to give up collateral wise which might / might not have been discussed in those meetings.

I wouldn't be buying into the Petracca talk. Clubs will come knocking, Melbourne will hold him to his contract. Oliver is the one they should be trading out now.
With list spots so tight I think Barrass and Battle might be our only acquisitions, unless we manage to free up more spots by trading out some fringe players.

We’d go through undefeated next year.

Or, a smart list manager might see it as opportunity to get a kickstart on a rebuild that looks almost certain. Oliver likely gone, a lot of there better players are closer to the end. I can’t see them climbing the ladder next year even with Petracca back.

He did say Battle was changing his mind daily a few days ago. Seems like he's settled on leaving and that interview is very obvious he's outta there. No real commitment to Stkilda just a token comment about loving the club. We know how these things go.
