Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

2024 Picks



2025 Picks

Crazy to think that WC (and their supporters) think Barras is worth 2 x 1st round picks.

It would be the first time ever that a 29 year old would be traded for 2 x 1st round picks. And we are not even talking about one of the best players in the league.

We can offer a F1 and an F2, and if they don't accept. Walk away from the deal.

Yeh, but this one has a broken back

 

[HR Roughnstuf]

good chance Blues will continue where they left off and that F1 could be a top 5 pick next year

God I hope we keep it and trade ours if we do trade a F1.

Feeling like Barass is worth a F2 at this point.

 

[dixyland]

Baker from tigers is overrated imo

He’s worth a 2nd only not pick 14 especially in a strong draft

Second rounder at best.

 

[HR Roughnstuf]

I don’ get the ‘very poor by us’ narrative. We have a value that we offer and a limit, if the other team try to push it and we don’t fold then that’s unfortunate, not poor. We pay a fair and often overs price for players, we do what we can but something has to give sometimes. We have a whole club to look after and sometimes things don’t work out.

I’m saying that, I still think we end up with Barrass.

Ironically it was WC reneging on deals that got us here in the first place.

They have form, yet some how Hawks are the bad guys

And we give two firsts and they'll be first to say "LOL HORKZ OVAPAYED"

Good on the club great news don't let clubs bend you over, I'm super proud of the club this is a change in direction for us, keep our F1 and Blues and go after Reid next year, offer WC F2 only for Barrass, hopefully both F1 picks aren't going to WC.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Tell you one thing - there goes my thoughts that the terms of the Barrass deal would have been pretty much discussed prior to trade week starting.

They are a long-term Cripps injury away from the wooden spoon.

Nah, they could lose Curnow, Cripps and Weitering all season and still finish a few wins ahead of Richmond comfortably.

Really loving the pick swap with Carlton, would be a bummer to miss out on barrass if that ends up happening.

Given the changes to matching academy and father son picks, those late firsts and second rounders will hold significant value next year and give us great flexibility in potentialy trading up in the draft or targeting other players.

They were never going to let him go, but that aside... very smart play by Balta.

Career player in a garbage side demands an extra $150k+ per year in 'hanging around' money & as the spiritual leader of everyone's favourite loser club he'll get a TV deal like Richo.

He's played in a flag hasn't he? Part of the 2020 side from memory. Got his flag so is pocketing the cash now till the end of his career

 

[DogDaySonny]

God, it’s so boring around here. It’s been at least an hour since anything happened. Faster please.

 

[HR Roughnstuf]

Really hope we keep the Carlton F1. Good chance of being a top 10 pic next year

 

[mustang]

I wonder if we now use a player to get the Barrass deal done.

 

[unitedhawk]

Trade Period version of Hokball?

 

[Chioli]

2 x F1 to WCE for Barrass and their current R2 pick 26.
They then get their 2 x 1st rounders to sell the story to members.

Pick 26, 33 and Blues F2 to the Scum for pick 9.

End up with Barrass, Battle and Pick 9. D+?

We are not trading 2 firsts for Barrass

Well atleast now other clubs will know there is a new boss in town

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Smart business really. We still have the picks to get Barrass done if the eagles are willing plus Carlton’s first rounder could be pretty handy

 

[Kuuz]

Jesus reading the Weagles board induces genuine brain rot.

Literally read on one post that they're happy to keep Barrass as he has plenty of game time left, but also happy they miss Baker because he's too old.

Baker is 27, Barrass is 29.

Then another says Barrass should be happy as he's on good coin. Did they not read the whole point he's leaving is he was promised a bump in his contract by handshake, which was not honoured by the club & literally gave a speech wanting to walk.

Honestly, what are they drinking over there? I understand wanting to keep a decorated player, but they have royally screwed him over at points + I just can't see him being around for their next tilt, and feel it would only delay their rebuild if they kept him. They have good youth ready to make a play at the backline. Just really odd.

This wouldn't have been done without WCE and possibly even Richmonds knowledge in what they want for their respective trades. Try not to look at things in isolation

Straight swap for DGB. Younger and healthy back, WC might need to sweeten the deal

 

[hardway]

I would offer 2x 2nd rounders for a pick around 17 -19 in this draft and offer that for Barrass. Fair value.

 

[DrkNyt]

It appears my worst fears were answered. The mods did the dirty deed.
……

I suppose it’s back to the North board for me.

Maybe, I will see you again in the future - when I come for that little wizard of yours after round 7 and another missed Auskick clinic.

exactly.....likely carltons f1 and f2 next year will be (significantly?) better than ours.....

 

[FB19]

Finally something!

So figure that the eagles were party to this as 14 doesn’t mean anything if it was to be on traded. 14 way overs for baker maybe that’s the point. How about
Hawks give blues f1/2 serong 71
Hawks get Barrass f3

Hawks give 33 f1 to scum
Hawks get 9

In Barrass 9 f3 eagles
Out Serong 14 33 f1 71

2024: 9 plus 2 rookie delist and relists
2025: f2 hawks f3 eagles

Barrass costs pies r2 and f1 and Serong and we upgrade 14 to 9 and f3 to eagles f3.
