Even though we have done a lot better in the last couple of drafts, I still think that we are novices in the nuances of wheeling and dealing. The kings are Geelong and Essendon and guess who seems to be dominating these pages. When we do get an A grader wanting to come to us, in the end, we always seem to give up more than we should. Whereas clubs like Geelong always seem to get the player for not a hell of a lot. The draft that has been forever branded into my brain and sums up the way the Hawks fare during draft time was when Buddy...and YES A PRETTY GOOD PLAYER YOU MIGHT SAY...was sucked out for NOT EVEN STEAK KNIVES ...!!!
Yes, we should really be taking our cues from Essendon
 
As he should. 13 + F2 or just 13 for me.

I want us to build a big hand for next year. There is none bloke we need to add to really create a team set up for long term success.

We need to keep our F1 if we are even thinking of going after Reid, by WC taking our F1 it takes away a club that could get Reid when his contract is up.

Cal Twomey seeming to cool a little on us giving up pick 13 + F1 for Barrass. Reckon the media has driven a lot of all of this and the deal get's done for pick 13 + F2.
Maybe give 13, F1 and F2 for Barrass and half of the Harley trade next year. Then next year we give F1 (2026) to complete the Harley transaction.
 
My clear preference is for the trade to be Pick 13 + F2 for Barrass.... but if we rate this draft and it's depth highly enough would we consider offering up an F1 alongside pick 13 to get Barrass and something around pick 20 this year back.. which the recruiting team may say depending on our finish is the equivalent to our pick next year but we get the talent in a year earlier..

Friends don’t let friends drink and Bigfooty.
 
Here's what I think it'll cost to get Barrass to the Hawks. Pick 13, plus we slide our future 1st down to Eagles future 2nd. While upgrading pick 30 to pick 23 in this year's draft.

Hawks
In: Barass, Eagles F2nd, Pick 23
Out: Pick 13, F1st, Pick 30

Eagles:
In: Pick 13, Hawks F1st, Pick 30
Out: Barass, F2nd, Pick 23

What are other people's thoughts? Are we giving too much?
Still too much. Pick 13 max.
 
13 and F2 is more than enough. I am a massive TB fan, but if they want 2 firsts then we walk.
Love people every year standing on the “it’s on our terms or we walk”

It’s very rarely all on one teams terms and teams just don’t walk when they get a player of TBs standard to request a trade to them

We will not walk.
We have an agreement with Barass’s manager to get it done and we’ve had plenty of chats with Eagles to know what it will take.
