There's no way the Hawk's traded us that pick unless they were 100% sure that they had a way to trade for Barass who has nominated them.

I reckon they've given up on him because it wasn't enough. Maybe Eagles would like a player of ours as well.

 

[T2B_]

It could be for Houston or Eagles's Barrass couldn't it?
One of those or B.Smith or C. Petracca plus a draft pick would be super thanks.

You really want that sugar (cube) hit dont you

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

I must be in the twilight zone.

All week we’ve had folks on here complaining about using a first round pick on a 27 year old Houston.

… and now some are keen to use it on a 29 year old Barrass

 

[RattAttack]

Good trade. Take both picks to the draft. Can not work out how we pay for Campo

AfterPay. Buy now, Pay later.
Assume we just go into deficit next season.

 

[Blue Reaper]

OUT: F1 + F2 + 34 + 66
IN: 14 + Lions F2 + 73

I am very comfortable with this.

Hawthorn getting Battle and Barras is overkill. They still have Sicily down back with old timer Frost, Blanck was going well before his ACL, decent third tall staple Scrimshaw, Ethan Phillips is a prospect and last year’s highly rated father son McCabe as prospects down back. Then there is Denver Grainger-Barras.

Makes sense to walk away if the price is not right. They are significantly over subscribed for tall backs.

 

[RoyalBlues]

Regarding Graham Wright . . . he absolutely had time to advise and support the Blues. 100%

 

[RoyalBlues]

Agree…. Given he doesn’t start until Monday

He officially starts as Deputy CEO on Monday. Things are not always clocked on and off. Flexibility!

I'd like a really good mix thanks, as stated.

Is it so hard for some to imagine draft picks plus a great trade? (apparently it is!)

On the positive side, I love the passion shown by everyone.

 

[branedotorg]

Any chance dees would trade 5 for 12 and 14? Not a rumour just speculating Who we could trade up with

They're trying to buy a 2024 r1 with a F1+f2, reckon they want two picks this year, so maybe?

 

[RattAttack]

Having 12 and 14 helps keep Collingwood honest. What we paid for 14 to hawthorn needs to be of similar or more value for Collingwood now to get 13 off GC. And having the extra top 15 pick allows port to pressure Collingwood for more for Houston if that’s what HE wants.

100%.

Our deal with Hawks has now set a precedent for draft value this year. Pick 14 for a F1 & F2. So if Coll think they can get pick 13 for a F1 only, they better think again.

Coll F1 plus Noble for Pick 13 looking more likely..

Hahaha. Niceeeee.

Strange timing on the pick trade with Haw.. Denver Granger-Barras was seen at the cafe inside Ikon earlier today.

Yes, please.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the hilarity of Leppitsch having the temerity to ask GC for a combination of 13, 23 and Humphrey for Noble and F1

Shoot your shot Leppa

Dustin Martin and Nick Daicos are freakshows and can make many people look good.

Blockhead Leppa is prime proof of this.

So far, Austin staying true to his word, setting up to take 4 picks, 12, 14, twins

While gaining a top 6 pick/draftee, by trading 12 and 14, will certainly give you a crack at a very good kid, I'd rather take 12 and 14 to the draft

Just feels like there is more coming

did the guy do an interview to secure the role (Leppa)?

 

[WyntersGame_]

Yes, please.

He's had 4 years in the system and by all accounts has no ability to run out 2 quarters let alone 4.. I'd pass unless he's a rookie and we know he will take time to develop

I read someone state his issue is he needs to put on size but he also needs to build up his endurance. Hard to do both at once

Still think Houston can be got for 14 + steak knives....

Think people underestimate how he will improve our team (through better ball movement)....

Sometimes, a player and a club are just not a good fit. He was spruiked as the best KPD since Weits to come through the draft, and Hawthorn's KPD system is different to convention.

If he were to come, he would not be expensive. We also have a little time to play with at present, given our attitude to the draft and our list profile.

 

[RattAttack]

I've been saying it all along. His value is similar to that of Kennedy's . But teams have become so accustomed to ripping Gold Coast off despite years and years of claiming those days are over (remember Jack Martin was their line in the sand moment) that they think it's their turn.

Agree on Noble. But GC are offering him 4 years at $650k a season, hence why Coll are asking for a R2 pick..
