If the Hawks had pick 8 we would want that for Barrass. If they had pick 16 we would want that for Barrass.
You don’t get what players are worth, you get what picks clubs have to deal with.

Don't agree.

Hawks are incumbent to find us the required value....He's UC and they want him.

We set they price, they either pay it or we hold him to his contract (or if TB really wants out, shop him to Sydney)

It's a little from column A, a little from column B. Ideally, we would get a top 10 pick for Barrass and call it a day. Instead, we are likely going to be working with what Hawthorn has and making other moves to get the picks we want. That said, an idea I hadn't thought about before now is for the Hawks to request the Saints' battle compensation pick + 43 for 13 + 30 and on-trade that pick to us on its own, meaning they get to keep their other pick in this draft and we get our top 10 pick.

 

[larrikin]

All these free agency deals going through today and we cant even land Graham on first day who after months still cant decide, shows the poor state of affairs of the club atm.

We don't want Graham but also why haven't we signed him yet?

And on a side note, Free Agency is not first past the post.

 

[Barrybran]

And if we were to get 8 from St Kilda via Hawthorn, Richmond may be more likely to give us 6 + 9 by way of 6, 9, 21 + Baker for 3, 8 + F2 (factoring in Graham compo upgrade).

Yearly reminder that the highest FA compo possible should be end of first round

Farewell Tobie. I will never forget you.

 

[Chris_6678]

Clearly the AFL listened to Saints CEO having a sook.

 

[illegaleagle]

now pick 14 from Hawks gotta be future first involved

 

[pantskyle]

Would love the AFL to explain that compo.

 

[ep2018]

The saints could have had picks 5 and 6 had they not won that pointless last game against Carlton who ended up making finals anyway.

 

[EagleMan87]

Got a feeling this is going to be a disaster trade period for us and we'll long for the good old days of ROB.

 

[Jukes]

Just to add a bit of rare optimism here…hopefully Graham leaving his decision until next week means it will be linked to the Baker trade.

 

[pantskyle]

The fact the AFL has gifted the Saints this pick and we didn't even bother to put in for some priority picks is just simply mind blowing.

 

[illegaleagle]

Iv'e got a feeling Graham is going to pull out of deal now and stay at Richmond and we do in the trade period is overpay for Baker and only get ordinary duo in Robertson and Carroll.

 

[Cuzz09]

Got a feeling whoever we draft with whatever pick we have first will be a gun and everything will work out fine

a 4 year deal? Is he that much better than I rate him?

 

[BartBart]

Probably lucky Barrass is not a UFA as we'd be hearing that we are offering pick 4 (5 on draft night) for Baker.

 

[FKASC]

Battle is such a potato as well lol

 

[squashface]

It’s nuts that the system the AFL has created means you get more compensation for an uncontracted player leaving through FA than you do for a contracted player on a long term deal requesting a trade.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

It's an absolute disgrace that a team can get a higher pick than any team would presumably pay to get a player in a trade.

 

[Bender_]

Pick 8 for Battle!

Hilarious
