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

We need a Reid like player, how would that sit with WC posters.

Assuming you mean Archer, how about straight swap for Hobbs

 

[mattyc75]

Essendon have players to trade, [Parish, Hobbs, Tsatis, Perkins, Cox, Throw in Hepps and Laverde for free].
We need a Reid like player, how would that sit with WC posters.
PS. Could probably throw in our coach, good assistant for your present coach next year.

Let's assume for a second reid wants out and chooses essendon. Pretty sure Hobbs and perkins let it be known they didn't want to be drafted by an interstate club so theyre out. Tsatis is a bit crap,cox isnt an area of need.
Doesnt leave too much

6 for 1 with a chance of more would seem like a good deal to anyone.
Mate, I've been on a 50 year 'BENDER'. The offer is still on the table.

 

[Peptide Pig]

I still have faith in Flynn. Missed a fair chunk of footy and didn’t bounce back. If he can do what he did for GWS, I would take it.

Would flip BWilliams for another genuine afl ruck. Just not sure who w that could be.

Williams ain’t that bad of a player just too far down our KPF depth chart, his proper afl position.

I was going to say much the same. He was recruited for a reason and hasn’t had a run at it. His numbers for us have been down on his career averages due to injury. There is scope to improve on his GWS numbers if healthy and holding the number 1 mantle.

Flynn can still be the moneyball option that can allow us to save our cap space for more damaging positions. English would’ve held back our recruiting in other areas due to his salary.

Ironically I would like to see Flynn take a leaf out of BWill’s book by scrapping and scragging and showing more aggression. At his size he could be a genuine enforcer if he finds some mongrel and has a solid preseason to be able to cover the ground and attack contests rather than the lumbering that we saw this year.

By all means pick up another cheap developing ruck like this Knobel fella that has been mentioned if we don’t see it happening for Barnett and co long term.

Petracca for TB

My mate just texted Barass to Hawks just announced on the news as done. Anyone confirm?

Flynn should’ve learnt from Briggs the few years before he got here. That’s the type we require.

I didn’t mind him at GWS and Hoping for the Meek like 2nd year.

What were the track watchers seeing in the pre season from Flynn? Did he look the goods.

Been average even at WAFL level with small glimpses. List manager should be all over as they did try and sign Lycett for the year. So they know the need. It’s just who can fill it?

Oh sure. We'll give ya'll a bag of chips and some twirls while we're at it, too.

 

[Elite Pete]

Trained today with the Eagles so definitely not ‘done’ but channel 10 reporter said it’s a strong chance of happening (which most already knew)

 

[Byron_Clanger]

My mate just texted Barass to Hawks just announced on the news as done. Anyone confirm?

That was the extent of all that's known so far.

 

[Truly Lazuli]

That was the extent of all that's known so far.

Cheers

 

[Bacchus]

That was the extent of all that's known so far.

What trade capital are Hawthorn offering?

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Our thread would’ve been like that about Ginbey and Duggan 6 weeks ago. Waterman last year. Oscar at HT on Saturday.

Right, but we aren’t lining up $1m a year, half decade+ deals for Ginbey and Duggan or 2023 hospitalised Jake Waterman.

 

[Sammy J]

What trade capital are Hawthorn offering?

I assume their F1 at minimum, but I’d like a b22 player coming back too tbh. TB is an elite FB, and will probably make AA in an up and coming Hawks side with Melb media frothing him.

 

[Sammy J]

Haven’t watched Archer Reid play, but would he be a ruck option? If he developed, could be a nice combo with JWill if both are forwards who can ruck and also hit the scoreboard

 

[MrWoollie]

That was the extent of all that's known so far.

In other words, no change from yesterday.
Which was no change from the day before.
And so on.

 

[Off Tap]

My mate just texted Barass to Hawks just announced on the news as done. Anyone confirm?

His name isn't Steve is it?

 

[Off Tap]

Got a mate in real estate and he has just sent some goss through, asked for me to keep it to myself but apparently Petrecca called him up today asking about houses in Lathlain.

Keep it to yourself gaiz.

 

[TY24]

Anyway we can get trac without selling our draft hand?

Trac is really a leader we need to Sheppard the youth with training standards and such. He brings good culture.

Make it happen bigfooty.

How about

Oscar Allen/Jake Waterman + TB + Salary cap relief for Clayton

For

Trac?

 

[KERRPOW]

Dodged a bullet with english set to stick with the dogs.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Sweeney going with it as definitively as possible.

Think we’ve all assumed it’s essentially done, now it seems done done.

 

[new breed]

Haven’t watched Archer Reid play, but would he be a ruck option? If he developed, could be a nice combo with JWill if both are forwards who can ruck and also hit the scoreboard

No thanks , forward and could be a very good forward !!

 

[new breed]

Disappointing but the situation of WC ..

Someone pretty damn good leaves ...

 

[Cold Sober]

Pretty sure I could add another 6 or 7 to that list.
Anyway, thanks for allowing me to intrude.

 

[ReidBetweenTheLines]

Barrass being contracted til 2027 gives us some good leverage. I’d be happy to see us play hardball the same way Geelong did with us and Kelly.
