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

Davis has 4 attributes I like
1. He has a high football IQ that will transition to AFL
2. He is clean - and remember the weather on the weekend was horrid and Leederville had a fair amount of rain
3. He often hits the contest with pace meaning he is quick to get separation
4. He finds the ball and despite being more outside, he both hits the scoreboard and does not shy away from the contest

I would like an early R3 to pick him up. A trade of Petch or Rotham FA that could facilitate the pick would be perfect.

Yeah he's one that I really hope we're looking at closely

this morning said doesn't know for sure Barrass is going , hoping he stays .
Communication at West Coast seems like the carrier pigeon .

 

[mattyc75]

Are there any decent wingers in this draft.Wouldnt mind a quality wingman or 2,which I think would really help.

Somebody like Windsor from Melbourne,a player who can run and carry and break the lines,preferably with pace(is that too much to ask for?).

Noobs just posted something about Hamish Davis. He looks like he could do the job.

I cant imagine its standard procedure for the club to discuss trades and list management constantly with the playing group to be fair.

Sounds like Barrass hasnt been at the club for at least a few days either

 

[random260]

Hawks threw the hole kitchen at Harley Reid last year. They don't mess around. They offer the max price point and that's it.

Tb will get done smoothly the same

 

[Byron_Clanger]

I'm sorry, but we're cooked if we're only getting a first rounder in return for one of a handful decent key defenders the league has at the moment with three years left on his deal.

 

[new breed]

Elliot yeo needs to stfu and not speak on trade matters


The tb trade is going to be the easiest trade of all time.

No. regular segment on Fm radio was asked about Tom Barrass situation , players don't really know and keen for him to stay which is backing Barrass in .

Honestly what do you expect him to say in that situation other than play a straight bat?

 

[stallon]

If we can get the picks for Lindsay and Davis from the Barrass trade thatd be the minimum id want.
Cover both wings in the one swoop

 

[new breed]

Could wish him all the best etc, but players are keen for him to stay which is nice...premiership player who could have won a Norm Smith , great player hopefully he does well at Hawthorn.

 

[Goroyals22]

I can't believe anyone would side with Melbourne over Petracca on this.

I can’t believe the biggest Teflon kid in the whole Melbourne saga is Max Gawn. Captain of a club with people with interesting after hours activities, blokes wanting out of long term deals and dubious leaders of the club.

Club statement: Barrass requests trade

The West Coast Eagles have released the following statement after Tom Barrass requested a trade

l.club.westcoasteagles.com.au

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

There it is.

 

[random260]

Woohooo pop the bottles fella. I'm jumping with joy

Greatest news in years. I'm in tears.

The great club will bring two great players in.

Let's go uncle tobie

 

[xLeCrAs2x]

We need to get more than just a first round pick which may blow out further than pick 12. But no doubt the club will bend over and take that and won’t be suprised if we give them something back knowing us

 

[flyinghi64]

The rest of this reads

Mmmm, Someone shouldn't be there

 

[stallon]

So negative, we have new list management fellas we have no history on how theyre going to run things.

I think it’s important to immediately decide what the deal involves and then melt over it as if it’s already happened.

Saves valuable time.

Can you just chill.

Yeo got asked about Tom and all he said was that he hoped he stayed. He's a team mate , what do you expect and furthermore his opinion on the matter means fk all.

 

[xLeCrAs2x]

Do you really expect people to be positive about trades with our history of overpaying for players and selling ourselves short when a player wants to leave?

 

[Wooshaaaa]

Barrass has officially requested a trade to Hawks. Per SEN Melbourne.

Melting because Morris said the deal "will involve" the hawks first is absolutely ridiculous gang. Of course it will - that wording doesn't mean "only". And of course we are willing to get the deal done, it is the right move for the club. Calm down.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

The latter hasn’t happened too often, at least with top-tier players, and we’ve generally extracted as much as we can. Judd, Ebert (Port were bastards in that one) … hasn’t been too many more?

 

[UseR2006]

I have no issues with Tom looking after his own interests at this point.
He wont be around for our next flag.
He is running on a limited timeframe for AFL careers are short and he's 28.
Not to mention his back.

We will get more trade capital which we definitely need.
It now means Hedwards will become a more permanent member of the back 6.

Overall this is good news and it'll be fun to see how our new list manager operates in comparison to the pieman.

 

[ziad]

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.
