Give me Balta as a free agent over Barass who will cost our first pick at a minimum every day of the week and twice on Sundays. Balta is an athletic bull who could play for the next eight years. Barrass will cost plenty and turns 30 next year ..
Balta is NOT available in the open market this off season yet here we are,, pages and pages of posters thinking that balta is getteble and not only that, that the Hawks are the ONLY club who has the God given right to anyone available!!!!
İt's Battle and Barras, let's concentrate on those shall we?
Amon.And we haven’t snagged a marquee free agent since Frawley - so let’s get what we can. If Balta ends up as a bidding war we will lose like we do every single time in free agency. If Barrass says he wants in and we can get it on good terms then pull the trigger.
Richmond are about to do a rebuild, if we offered our first to them for Balta would they take it, we won’t know if we don’t even ask, I want them to at least ask.
Amon.
They won't need more picks.Richmond are about to do a rebuild, if we offered our first to them for Balta would they take it, we won’t know if we don’t even ask, I want them to at least ask.
He was the best FA available that year.I like Amon, I’m glad we got him but he wasn’t the kind of hotly in demand FA that year and certainly wouldn’t elicit the kind of feeding frenzy Balta would.
By marquee I mean the Buddy/Lynch/Dusty type of FA. Frawley even might not be at that level but he had us and Geelong pursuing him at the time so that was fairly hotly contested.
Balta is only 24 I feel they will be keen to keep him.
I think they also, but if we don’t ask?
Say Geelong offer there first and they accept and we didn’t ask and we went for Barrass because we didn’t ask the question, because we thought they wouldn’t let him leave.

He was the best FA available that year.
And we've already signed up the 2 best free agents for this year (Hardwick and Nash) and looking good for the 3rd best (Battle).
The other issue with Balta is even if you can get him it will be after another year of struggling to contain big KPFs. Barrass comes now and helps us next year.

I mean I don't blame u for this simplistic view but usually there is a whisper or talk about players wanting to move or go.Richmond are about to do a rebuild, if we offered our first to them for Balta would they take it, we won’t know if we don’t even ask, I want them to at least ask.
Give me Balta as a free agent over Barass who will cost our first pick at a minimum every day of the week and twice on Sundays. Balta is an athletic bull who could play for the next eight years. Barrass will cost plenty and turns 30 next year ..
Free agent compared to giving up a first round pick.
We will also get a lot more games out of Balta.
Would be a massive backflip from Tom.Sydney are once again coming hard for Barrass, they could now be the favourites to land him.
This has very little to do with what I said. Obviously Balta is a more appealing option due to his age and FA status next year.Give me Balta as a free agent over Barass who will cost our first pick at a minimum every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

He wants to be in Melbourne.Sydney are once again coming hard for Barrass, they could now be the favourites to land him.
I agree as prior to tonight all I heard was that Tom was extremely keen to join the hawks (from someone extremely close to Tom)Would be a massive backflip from Tom.
Don’t shoot the messenger only passing on what I’ve heard.He wants to be in Melbourne.
