That 'mega' deal's price on Houston makes our offer for Barrass look very reasonable but it also makes Geelong's offer for Smith look legit.

Expect the media to emphasise the latter but not the former.

 

[satan1]

Eagles have form of overvaluing both outgoing and incoming players. Leads to perennial disappointment.
At this point I almost hope the Barrass trade doesn't eventuate.
Supporters can live with the full fallout of an incompetent administration.

Just in case you’re wondering what horrendous list management, trading and drafting looks like. Check this out

 

[VandoHawk]

Not unhappy if the deal falls through.

Barrass is a quality player and he is contracted. If he was 26 there is no problem with 2x firsts. But he’s turning 30 next year, and he has well documented chronic back issues that he will “have to manage forever” (his own words).

A future first and future second is fair value, and we’re not obligated to pay overs because West Coast made risky trades and want to save face.

Barrass is an upgrade over Frost as the anchor, but Frost is still serviceable enough that our defence was top 3 in the league from rounds 6-our exit. We’ve added Battle and Blanck is returning from an ACL. We don’t need to be going crazy.

Having two firsts and seconds next year sets us up for a raid, or protects us if we have a down year.

 

[Bardo State]

Personally, I think it's nuts for Port to give up contracted Houston after making top 4 and a prelim. For what? Pick 13 and some fringe flankers?

I don't see him as the type to drop tools for the year if a trade fell through.

[Bardo State]

They just had to giving up all draft capital for another year and give up over 2 million a year of their salary cap.

Definitely has the potential to be a list killer (combined with last year giving F1 for Schulz)

During Naicos golden years, too.

 

[A1fromDay1]

The power of Paul Connors forced Port to take the deal looks like.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Daicos' prime won't be for a while - but if they get this wrong they could be anchored down the bottom end of the ladder during it.

 

[Blackhawk42]

We'd honestly look silly now if we 'overpaid' with two 1sts for Barrass.

I wonder how this ends, because I can't see us folding and I can't see him not playing for Hawthorn next year.

IF it falls through I'd actually be quite excited by our future draft hand.

Any updates from west coast list mismanagement on barrass?

 

[TazHawk15]

Atkins. Like whoah!
See you opening round Kenny, you flog.

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

I thought the Bigfooty type trade suggestions of rolling up 4 duds in a trade were done in jest

Clearly Port don’t think so

 

[Dont_be_a_Plonka]

The Pies make out like bandits in that deal. Give up 2 spuds and get a 2 time all Australian

Noble is decent.
It's Port that have been reamed

 

[Bardo State]

Yep, it can be a while to dig out of failed top ups. Like us, Tiges, Eagles. You have to be able to pick the eyes out of late selections and/or have a blessed academy run. Geelong 2022 might be a significant anomaly.

 

[Bardo State]

It's always extra delicious when this stuff happens to SA/WA clubs. Footy mad cities where local media runs on telling locals that the sun shines out of their team's rears.

Expectations are always through the roof from the outset. A perfect setup for crash and burn melts.

Suns need some points for this year and next year, wonder if we can do a 3-way here to help Eagles save face..

Suns
Get Pick 33, Eagles F2
Give Pies F1

Eagles
Get Pies F1, Hawks F1
Give Barrass, F2

Hawks
Get Barrass
Give Pick 33, F1

Suns are only interested in points for Lombard and Uwland next year and you'd expect Pies F1 is a mid teens pick anyway.. Hawks give up 33 instead of F2 but get their guy

Giving up pick 33 means our first pick this year would be 71 - I don't think that is a good idea.

Yes but we may use our futures to get back in the draft earlier at say 16 or 19

 

[Buzz Hawk]

I’ve been wondering why the Barass deal is being held up.
Then I see Don Pyke’s head pop up in relation to the Baker deal.
I reckon power stance Donny has his grubby mits involved in all this, he’s the Eagles Peter Bellend.

True.

Draft night trade back in to pick 16 and use it to draft the un-traded Bailey Smith

Ironically pick 50 that they just added to the port pies deal is about what they are short. We need pick 33 to add a KPF. If you swapped us and eagles so they give suns 26 and we give f2 that is better.

Any ITK can confirm Barrass to Hawks still happening on our terms?

Suggestions are it is done. It’s just a matter now for us to wait and see if sleepy Mark has had to touch his toes or if he has some solid brass balls.

On WC board there is a thread about doing a protest at training lol
