Well trade done now its over or Owies ...

Hawthorn cannot takes us to the cleaners for Barrass now , can they ?!!

 

[MaxHunt]

If we dont get 2 x F1 for Barrass they can fcuking fold the club

Why trade him out now? They just paid a mammoth price for a couple blokes in his age group.

 

[Chris_6678]

I cant see how thats possible now.

1 yes and maybe a future second.

 

[bzparkes]

Let’s just wait and see til the end of trade period before we burn the club down. We needed mature heads around our group to set better standards with a lot of our older guys a year or two away from retirements. I don’t love this move but it’s a fair overreaction to say this has cost us our next premiership. We will be bottom 4 again next year and still have a strong draft hand again in 12 months. We still have plenty of young talent on our list.

Clubs have been frothing over this draft all year and the dumb****s in charge have all but traded OUT of it.

Seriously, this club is run by ****heads.

 

[BartBart]

You could have easily screwed us by saying no to baker and we would have spent 11 on baker.

Don't rub it in.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Truly awful. Someone with a brain tell me how this affects a Champion bid please.

Torpedo’d ourselves here, by the looks.

We have just wasted the last three years playing "mature players" while being at the bottom of the ladder. Too bad they didnt lead by example, and were bat**** lazy.

I agree with the premise of having veterans around to set an example, but we are in more dire need of top young talent than barely-AFL level players such as Graham and Owies

 

[Sammy J]

I hate this deal so much. **** me dead.

 

[Mattman93]

No, done.

The club was in superior positions for negotiations with each of Hawthorn (Barrass contracted), Richmond (Baker PSD) and Carlton (Pick 3) - and yet we ended up with this aborted foetus of a trade.


It's a result that flies in the face of any kind of competence.

Like many I'm probably going to feel silly in a few days for the sheer magnitude of my reaction but right now it's membership-cancelling, give up on this broken sport with its broken rules level bad.

 

[Ishmael_]

Don’t get me wrong I hate the trade as much as anyone

But I wonder if part of our thinking was that if we proved to Hawthorn we could get the Baker deal done without them, it would increase our negotiating power there?

It’s a low percentage play

Ya the 'madman' theory of negotiation.

Look how ****ing stupid we are? Do you really think we won't hold Barrass and get nothing in return?

 

[Off Tap]

Which is basically why the answer is to boo Liam Bakers every touch. Sad but reality

You're a dog. Absolute grub. Fancy wanting to boo one of your players. Go join the Dockers you scumbag.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Yep, that's it for me, boys. See you all next year.

We're officially a poverty club.

Never seen this board so united on something

now under pressure for the rest of the career to be better than the player we would've drafted at pick 3.
We paid a big price just to get him through the door.
I hope he understands the magnitude of the responsibility that he has to bear

 

[Dark Sharks]

And now I get to sit in a training course in the office and absolutely stew for the next 8hrs.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Completely ****ed.

Deserve the years of mocking this will generate.

**** you Clarke and **** you Pyke for letting this happen, you have lost my vote.

 

[xLeCrAs2x]

In: Baker Grahame Owies

Out: Pick 3 Barrass

How on earth did we get worse then we were yesterday

Let's be clear, like the trade or not, it's not on Baker or Owies.

All 4 years that's left of it.

 

[Cuzz09]

Feel like Clarke, Graham, Baker and McQualter will be catching up for coffee weekly counting their buckets of cash and laughing at all this after putting in tge minimal amount of effort each match.

All in sunny WA on the Eagles dime.

[bUCKET__]

Okay, moving on. Who's a realistic chance to slide to 12?
