any player they add to him is another player we would need to open a spot forSo do we want any Vic kids in a Barrass trade?
Chesser? Archer Reid? Bueller?
I don't doubt you're right and I hope he stays, but I do know that North have spoken to his management twice now and will be making a big push at season's end.One situation is not like the other
Lewis wont be traded
He has told North no thanks multiple timesI don't doubt you're right and I hope he stays, but I do know that North have spoken to his management twice now and will be making a big push at season's end.
Melbourne are a team crying out for a key forward and wouldn't play him. He's cooked.
WC fans are expecting a 100+ drubbing so yeah their PR team are in overdrive. Then you have some numpty's like this dude that seem to forget / not care that Tom is a Premiership + B&F winner that is vastly under paid and who had a handshake agreement with the former list manager to have his contract re-negotiated to his proper worth which was vetoed by the new list manager which is the reason why he's gettable in the first place.That's what makes it less believable to me, it's not as though he's not used to working through back pain - but it is also something that the club know they can roll out and that the supporter base will believe it.
Excuses need to be believable, especially when you're a side up shit creek putting out terrible performances and you don't want your supporters to tear the place up because you're resting your only two AFL level key defenders against a team with a bloke who could reasonably kick 10+ goals against you.
Agreed. Similar to how a lot of us thought Tom Mitchell would net more than Copper Stephens, Pick 41 + Pick 50. At the time of that trade obviously the value for us was getting Stephens which with history shows that we got fleeced.Devilās advocate - what if we have already done a handshake deal with West Coast and they know their members wonāt be giddy about the return so theyāre selling them on āitās okay heās broke anyway!ā.

I still maintain that we're going to get him for less then what a lot think we're going to have to. I reckon our 1st rounder alone is going to be enough and like someone said above this could all be PR readying the WC ferals for when they lose their sh*t. Look at what we got for Sam Mitchell, Tom Mitchell or Jordan Lewis and yes I know the circumstances were a little different (ie Barrass with a longer contract atm) but I still think some are going to be surprised with the final price.

If we go by what we got for Mitchell, Lewis etc it won't be a 1st at all.
Again, I'm agreeing with you but if that's the case why would North have talked to his management again as lately as two weeks ago?He has told North no thanks multiple times
Does not want to play under AC ever again
CorrectAgain, I'm agreeing with you but if that's the case why would North have talked to his management again as lately as two weeks ago?
Probably because they can't take no for an answer.
Come on down SheezelI don't doubt you're right and I hope he stays, but I do know that North have spoken to his management twice now and will be making a big push at season's end.
Clarko going on radio last Friday morning and reeling off a bunch of names (some contracted I think) heād like to target was a bold move.Correct
North internally have greatly overestimated their pull for players
Very close to another major tumble
Its reaching desperation levelsClarko going on radio last Friday morning and reeling off a bunch of names (some contracted I think) heād like to target was a bold move.
Donāt even bother trying to reason with them , they under rate all others clubs, and think all their list is top notch. One poster on the Barass thread, even compared Darling as the same as Giunston. They even think Barass still wants to play there.Here's a good laugh, WCE board on the cost of the Barrass trade
Its reaching desperation levels
Naming of players was strange

Are you going for the record of how many times you can say the same thing?Yes? the guy that has openly said he struggles with it every day, a flare up is very believable.
The biggest part i disagree with is this being a convenient excuse, i they wanted to make up a story that could have picked anything else.
Or you knowā¦.hes justā¦old.Zac Touhy retiring. Cats clearing cash for Baz
Both worth a first each and I STAND BY ITIn fairness youāll find those posters on every board. Remember some of outrageous claims last year on what Brockman and Kosi would fetch us at the trade table.
