Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

[Chioli]

Except that this year's first rounder is worth more due to the available talent in this year's draft compared to next years.

Pick 17 on draft night in a draft where the kid that got taken last year at 5 would be 1 this year. Some lazy analysis from the media

If we are giving WC a future first....

Will it be ours or the Blues?

Death ride or die.

I don't know who over reacted to this move more. The media or some on here.

DGB isn’t in Spain… nothing on his socials indicates that

It was a joke

re: the pick shuffling... "oh, I get it!"

Don’t go to Eagles board. They’re more like 3 years behind than 3 hours. FMD

Idiots in a box?

Ok, I will see myself out!

Lots of them want blood over the loss of pick 14 which was their birthright.

Barrass for F1(Haw) & F2(Carl) is the deal on table satisfying Matty Clarke's demand for 1st and 2nd round pick.

Up to Eagles how they deal with Tigers for Baker. Not our drama. Maybe F1(Haw) with something coming back would satisfy the tigers, maybe not. Rate him around 20ish, but many of their fans don't want him as well.

The question has to be asked, is a 29yr old full back (no matter how good he is) what this team needs to go to the next level? We have a pretty good 23yr old full back waiting to return from injury as well as having added a very good, potentially elite, intercepting tall defender. In fact I wonder if landing Battle didn’t tip the scales such that we can’t justify paying a premium for Barrass. These things ebb and flow as the landscape changes. It just feels to me that our draft capital should really be prioritised to favour the midfield and forward line, whether that be through the draft or through trading.

Even if the question didn't have to be asked I have no doubt you'd ask it, repeatedly.

Repeatedly.

I got over it real quick.

WC want Barrass gone, but Hawks will only pay a fair price.

WC will blink or get nothing

They will blink.

They are rebuilding and they need picks, desperately. Barrass has no part to play in their future and he has made it clear he wants to leave. They won't force him to stay, they will buckle and ultimately accept a decent offer from us for a 29 year old player that wants out.

Proviso - posting this without reading the last 10 pages, so if it's all changed since, then the joke's on me.

Eagles have the worst list by a mile in the comp. They need picks, it would be a disaster if they take only pick 3 in the top 30 this year while only adding baker.

 

[burner1]

Carlton’s.

Why would they accept that but turn down pick 14? (Which is clearly worth more)

 

[tl92]

Could eagles take 12 and 14 from blues for pick 3**** and then use 14 on baker and keep Barass?

edited haha

Does this say that Eagles could trade 13 out & get 12 & 14 back?

This is apparently what no Eagles supporter can comprehend.

They need Barrass gone.

Badly.

Should have taken our original offer. Silly Eagles.

 

[lethalselbow]

Hasn't hawthorn and west coast always had a good trading relationship? I'm sure this will continue.

Barrass is 29, not 26, so not worth a much as many speculate. A few players are being over valued, this draft.

It's a good relationship when you're getting bent over. When you stand up for yourself, it becomes troublesome

No bending over, so far.

We're fighting back.

I think most of us in the blue and half side of things seem to agree that the media's take on the Barrass stuff is a bit odd.

Pick 14 in isolation is insufficient.We, the fans think so, as does the club.
However, the angst on our side is the belief that Baker is not worth the pick 14 that would've been involved in this trade, irrespective of anything else. Trading Tom Barrass

? Yuck.

Perhaps these mechanisms behind the scenes allow the above to take place though, however that ends up working out? It isn't the dropping of Fat Man that the media believe it is.


Or maybe it does end up being a player for Warner next year, which is also good.

Either way, I don't think it's time to flip the tables and start shooting at each other yet.
