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

On what planet would people rather draft picks for Warner? Warner is a known quantity ffs.

 

[WCE_18]

Good chance

Any other players on our radar we might not be aware of?

 

[BOND 007]

Pyke is certainly keen on rattling cages to see who might fall out.

 

[kerrazy]

Good chance

Does Tom really have 'hamstring awareness'?

 

[Elite Pete]

You’d think so, even more so if we miss out on English and Baker. Will be a lot of cap sitting there.

A Chad's a Chad but a mystery draft pick could be anything.
It could even be a Chad!

 

[BOND 007]

Does Tom really have 'hamstring awareness'?

Yes as far as I know

 

[WCE_18]

Could we see as many as 10 list changes this year as Simmo eluded to?

Absolutely

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

Because we have 2 very good upcoming academy prospects, I believe. Still, need to wait to see how the changes to points affec this.

Evans is not a very good NGA prospect not like collard or champion.

Only reason he played in the U18s was because he is part of our academy and we requested it .

Late pick to rookie

 

[Wce17]

Absolutely

Last question I promise haha but is Sheed at risk of retiring before his contract is up because of his foot injury?

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

I wouldn’t be happy to trade Barrass to Sydney for their R1 and 19. With Ashcroft, Lombard, Kako and Marshall alone without FA compo they turn into picks in the 20s. A trade with picks and sending Barrass to Sydney and Warner to Freo would be the best result for us. We could pay his salary and end up with Pies 1R and the better pick of Freo 1R and Port 1R.

I would rather get warner ourselves

**** freo

 

[stallon]

Yes as far as I know

Could we take this as we might not be trying to go to the draft so much this year?

If the right opportunity presented...

 

[MrWoollie]

Were you thinking that he might have 'other clubs are interested and I don't want to risk injury' awareness?

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

I am really conflicted on the Barrass and pick 3 for Warner.

Warner is only 23 and actually fits the profile of what we need

Barrass is 28 and will be missed for the next 3 years.
Pick 3 would deliver us a midfielder we hope to be as good as Warner but no guarantees.


Common sense says that we could get picks 10 and 28 for Tom and still have pick 3. Better still, we get Freo to bundle up picks 9 and 13 for 3 so that they can get Warner. I am OK helping Freo get stronger in the next 4 years if we get a better deal. We then take to the draft 9 10 13 23 and 28. (nb I would have liked all 3 x R1 but that would have required us to give up a future pick and the difference in quality with say 16 and 23 is not worth it this year)


Remember, he went to Aquinas!!!


Time for Pyke to go to Garlic and start the process of the 2 WA clubs waxing. We need the picks for a proper rebuild and this just accelerates it. And if Freo get a flag in the next 4 years, who cares! We won't be contending in that period and with a great haul in 2024, we increase the chances of being at the pointy end after that 4 year period.

A lot of others sports do it this close to a ‘trade deadline’

I would trade pick 2/3 OR our F1 for Warner but that’s it. I agree he’s a better prospect than a top draft pick but I wouldn’t go any further than that and definitely not include TB, which I would rationalise as pick 2/3, 10 and 28 for Warner.

I agree if Warner wants a trade to Freo I’d have no qualms facilitating that if it’s in our best interests for a 3 club trade. I’d offer the mooted 2/3 and 23 for their 3x1R. If that’s what unlocked Warner for them In think they’d do it.

I think this has been in the planning for some time.

I think the suggestion is we get Sydney's F1 back, so it would be 3, 10 and 28 for Warner and 16-18.

Yikes, he isn't that good

Ah I was strictly referring to @AsterixTheGaul’s post which I can’t see includes the F1 but if there was a previous post including that I still wouldn’t pull the trigger.

2/3 for Warner is perfectly reasonable in my eyes.

2/3 next year maybe

Sydney wont give him up this year . They still have him on lowish salary next season .

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Warner in 2025 will still be on a low contract so Sydney will value that when considering letting him go

 

[ep2018]

Barrass and pick 3 for Warner and pick 20 would be cool. Reid, Warner, Hewett good starting three for several future years.

Suspect he's freo bound tho unfortunately. In that case, Barrass and pick 23 for picks 9 (Collingwood) and 15 (Port/Freo).

Offer pick 15 for Baker, use picks 3 and 9 in the draft.
