Latest news and rumours:

• Tom Barrass officially requests trade to Hawthorn
  • Duffield: Eagles want two first round picks - "It may have to be in this year’s draft rather than a future pick."
  • Morris: Josh Battle is set to join Barrass at Hawthorn in 2025 - Ralph: Unclear if Hawks will pay enough for Band 1

• Kysaiah Pickett interested in a trade
  • "Club and management are confident they can work through his concerns"
  • Daniels: Pickett’s preference is Fremantle. Fremantle are keen, but Bolton the priority. Getting both “not impossible”. West Coast “an option if things get complicated.”

• Jai Culley, Coen Livingstone, Loch Rawlinson in line for one-year deals (The West)
  
  
• Liam Baker and Shai Bolton

Failed integrity, do explain ?

Contract signed in good faith. In my world thats a question of integrity.

 

[mattyc75]

Rioli is the one that stings... pick 40 for him was an absolute joke.

Rioli and port had us over a barrel . The club wouldve looked extremely bad not getting him where he wanted to go after his 100% self inflicted trauma

1st, 2nd and serong/frost for Barrass and 59

 

[THE A5]

need to get as much as we can but not a bad outcome if we nail the picks. Just need baker to re-sign. Will likely be depressed watching Tommy running around poo and pee colours but reckon the hype around him next years gonna be off the scale. Wouldn’t be surprised if he gets that AA.

Really hope the likes Allen/Waterman really get up against the Hawks next year and not allow him to peel off easy intercepts

 

[mat11]

12 + f1 we pay tom's salary

 

[Wosh]

Sad face.


Fleece em for everything they’ve got! Shit, give us Sam Mitchell back!

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Rioli is the one that stings... pick 40 for him was an absolute joke.

The whole deal was Rioli, 2 and 40 for 8, 12 a future 2nd and a future 3rd.

 

[pantskyle]

I'm glad its now public. Good statement from the club as well.

Good luck Tom, get value ffs Eagles.

Tom run? After this year I assume he will be claiming a Zimmer frame.

 

[squashface]

One of our few players of value that won’t be around for the next flag push so a good result really.

Nice to finally get some draft capital coming back the other way

 

[darksquare]

1st, 2nd and serong/frost for Barrass and 59

For all that Sam Frost is a cult figure - there's a reason Hawthorn are after Barrass and Battle...

 

[TheNewAnchor]

Tom failed the integrity test. Good to move him on to my mind. I liked the words from the club about he is contracted and best interests of the club. New CEO and List Management are not the old boys of the past.

Integrity test?...he's approaching the end of his career and Hawthorn apparently have offered him a better deal than we are likely to match. I'm not sure what the criteria is around the "integrity test", but he has been a great player and an exemplary part of our team for a long period. Given where we're at, this is a positive move for both parties (subject of course to a reasonable deal with Hawthorn).

I didn't want to reflect on his back issue, but it is part of the equation and with Harry, Rhett and Jamo still hanging around this move makes perfect sense.

Good luck Tom (if you do depart), you've been a great servant of the club.

 

[ghostbat12]

Would have preferred that west coast said he won’t be traded unless it’s two first round draft picks.

 

[Choogler]

Kelly
Rioli
Wellingham
Scott Selwood
Ebert
Brockman (could’ve got him for nothing)

Off the top of my head but I’m sure there’s more, I don’t recall ever walking away feeling like we won or played hard ball like other clubs do, we generally give clubs what they want and accept the bare minimum when clubs want our players

A long time ago but we reamed Pt Adelaide years ago with the Downsborough trade that got us a number 1 pick, and the Dockers a couple of times.

 

[Smeg Head]

I'm glad its now public. Good statement from the club as well.

Good luck Tom, get value ffs Eagles.

Its stupid that if he went under free agency we would likely get pick 4. So theres a starting point for the hawks to work to.

 

[xLeCrAs2x]

Should we try and get creative by sending pick 12 and 23 to a club for a single higher pick? What’s the consensus on this board about our player/s wanted around pick 12-23?

 

[stallon]

1st, 2nd and serong/frost for Barrass and 59

They can keep Frost

 

[stallon]

Would have preferred that west coast said he won’t be traded unless it’s two first round draft picks.

They may have, but they dont need to tell the public every step of the way

keep multiple picks, draft is deep, and a heap of spuds to delist. Need replacements

 

[xLeCrAs2x]

Also I’d definitely be shopping around any player that wants out if we could land some decent picks, imo besides Harley and Hough nobody is untouchable at this stage.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Hope we get two first rounders and Hawthorn never win a game while Barrass is there.

 

[xLeCrAs2x]

Hope he doesn’t get booed, he’s a champion of the club and could confidently say he put 100% in just about every game he played for us since being drafted

 

[Corn69]

Slightly different topic, but man what I would give up to have a Lewis Jetta kicking the ball out of the backline.

Found myself watching his 2018 highlights and his kicking and skills in general were god-level.

Wouldn't mind him as a skills coach If he's up for it.

 

[footy_basis]

The spuds all need to go. No more Zane Trew and the credits crew.

 

[Ghossein]

gee hawthorn with barrass is a scary proposition
