Surely they wouldn't use pick 3 on Houston?
I hope this is the case too, but cannot fathom West Coasts thinking on this, given the pick 3 trade.The Eagles and Hawks would have agreed to something before the Hawks traded away pick 14 in what is being hailed as a super draft to increase its collateral for next season.
This deal is happening and might be the one that the AFL has asked to stage mange for the TV tomorrow night.
Eagles and Hawks have both been suspiciously quiet since Rob Mac spoke last Thursday .
I am getting nervous that it will take 2 first rounders to get this done to save face and spare west coast facing the wrath of their supporters. West coasts erratic valuing of picks and players is worrying.
It’s worse than the original deal we turned down 14 + f2.If it ends up being two future firsts and they give us this years Second pick around 22 this year would that be the worst?
If Carlton and Hawks both finish top 6 next year it could be something like
Eagles receive pick 14 and pick 15 2025
Hawks receive pick 23 and Barrass 2024
This would get us back into a draft which they are saying from pick 15-25 this year is full of talent.
Would also mean we have two second round picks next season locked we could use to get back into the first round if we wanted.
I'm starting to realise that valuing draft picks next year is really difficult. With everyone saying the draft is super compromised and weak and the change in pick value weighting, how do you assess mid first round picks? Given teams won't be able to match as easily with 3 round picks, do 2nd rounders increase in trade value.I am getting nervous that it will take 2 first rounders to get this done to save face and spare west coast facing the wrath of their supporters.

Shame the deal has almost certainly been agreed.
If we held two firsts next year and two years of futures, we’d have a good play at Reid. They are butchering their own list, unless he gets offered $2m a year it’s going to be hard to convince him to stay.
The eagles fans are incredible at blaming Victoria for all their problems, like they don’t have a West Australian who’s been at the club since being drafted desperately trying to leave to move to Victoria.
No, they wanted 14+F2. We turned it down and asked for F3 back which they turned down. There are reports saying we wanted 14 for F3 back as another compromise too.Eagles turned the deal down not the Hawks.
It did cross my mind however I'm glad you mentioned it and not meWith the outcry from media and own supporters on the WCE deal with CAR and RIC, i have a feeling they have no choice but to dig there heels on Barrass to save their skin in some ways.
We have committed to him so i can't see how we don't get him over the line. I think 1 F1 + 1 F2 is more than adequate for Barrass whereas WCE are after our 2 F1. It might end up being 1 F1 + 2 F2 for Barrass + F3...to get the deal done.
Save face from what exactly?I am getting nervous that it will take 2 first rounders to get this done to save face and spare west coast facing the wrath of their supporters. West coasts erratic valuing of picks and players is worrying.
On the contrary as angry as their fans are, they are fearful that they now have to trade Barass and just can't keep him.With the outcry from media and own supporters on the WCE deal with CAR and RIC, i have a feeling they have no choice but to dig there heels on Barrass to save their skin in some ways.

Asking for a friend - do people come on here and only read the page they’re on ?
Why. Why would we overpayCarlton's F1 + 2 F2'S FOR Barrass?
Would this get it done?
Would it get it done - yes. Would the hawks offer that - no.Carlton's F1 + 2 F2'S FOR Barrass?
Would this get it done?
Pyke saying they did the trade with pick 3 to honour their commitment to Baker…Just listened to the Don Pyke interview after the pick 3 trade (and felt even worse for WC supporters afterwards).
Unless he is blatantly lying, we definitely did not trade out 14 with their blessing.
