So is it our bed wetters killing BF, or someone else's?

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

Jokes on you Hawk's!

Tom has a bad back and will be 43 going into next year HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

He also has bad concussion concerns. He had to have an extended time off last one he had

 

[FKASC]

I'm hopeful the club gives Barrass a trampoline or a skateboard as his parting gift tbh.

Probably end up being the next Brian Lake and playing til he’s 38

 

[HoneyBadger35]

As we wait for the precise picks Hawthorn are sending us, which ones do you want more: Carlton's or Hawthorn's?

Poll added.

 

[pantskyle]

Not us, if it was the site would still be down from yesterday.

 

[SloppyJoe]

With contracts meaning less and less these days, I thought a first and second round pick was about the right value for Barrass. To get an additional rd4>rd3 pick upgrade is nice.

 

[CountryLad]

I have no issue with Clarke managing contracts and money but he should never be a part of negotiations.

Wouldn’t it be a really important part of managing contracts to be able to negotiate?

 

[archiemoses]

Sounds like clarke was the one that buckled and coughed up pick 3.

I would understand pyke publicly backing the decision but i would flipping hope privately he would have given clarke a dressing down...for downgrading 3 but also publicly stating bakers worth as a mid 1st round pick.

Pyke would have signed off the trade so he's just as much at fault. Really this was a disaster trade period for us, following it closely it seemed like amateur hour and Phil's comments back that up.

Maybe we shouldnt have gone into this critical period with this much inexperience. Surely we knew this and done extra planning to cater for the unknowns.. it's not like we didnt know what deals needed to get done.

Pyke promised to build through the draft and not sell the farm. He let us down on both.

From a position of strength with draft picks and being on the right side of the players' contract status, we lost so much value.

Pick 3 to Pick 12 and suite of picks in a heavily compromised 2025 draft plus some older players.

Simply unacceptable.

This isn't a knock WCE_phil but what did you actually do?

we basically paid for baker what the cats paid for bailey smith

What is the whole pyke speech about seeing the trade period in the entirety and not looking at the pick 3 / Baker trade in isolation?

Looks to me like it was just a massive **** up

Dogs will feel hard done by.

Imagine seeing baker traded for 14 and bailey smith

about the same as his 'not selling the farm' and hitting the draft hard bullshit

 

[Dark Sharks]

Imagine seeing baker traded for 14 and bailey smith for 17.

To be fair, Smith is actually worth 17.

It's Baker that is the clear outlier in that one. Should've been 26.

 

[ep2018]

If you have to send your list manager out of the room to do a deal you have the give him the flick sooner rather than later?

 

[Obeanie1]

The f*ck you lot whingeing about?

F1 + F2 + F3 is pretty good.

The whingers always whinge.

This is outstanding.

Context. Would you be happy trading out your entire 2025 draft hand, your 1st, 2nd AND 3rd round picks for a 29 yr old fullback with recent back issues.

Geez. That is a huge amount to pay. HUGE

And people think meh.? Lol!

Hawtborn just traded out their entire original 2025 draft hand, for one player.

Lets shoot over and get Kane's opinion on this deal shall we.....

 

[twce13]

I am envious of Richmond

They are taking 7 players on night one and the first pick of day 2. That's how you rebuild lol.

Hopefully we can convince them it's better to spread over two seasons.

Well they didn't because they still have a Future 1st.

Can we just not treat this as fact lol. Imagine being in crazy negotiations and heading to bf 5 mins after for validation

 

[flamingEMBERS]

Barrass our sleeper agent at Hawthorn. Turns in a career-worst season and helps us secure a Top 5 pick.....

.....which im sure we'll promise to Norf for Bailey Scott or some sh*t.

Barrass going to be AA And his output won’t have increased, just exposure. Bookmark it.

fingers crossed

The bloke has a punchable head too

 

[amazingjoshy]

Will say again

The "If" is doing alot of work here

 

[woosha24]

Yeah if thats true its very, very damning of the club.

It all depends on the list profile.

For us that'd be a total disaster. We have no talent.

For Hawk's, who already seem to have a shitload of young core players developing together, along with their recent Moneyball topups it's a non issue.

Battle for also zero draft picks is another thing to offset what they gave up for Barrass. They'll be fine.

 

[twce13]

Well they didn't because they still have a Future 1st.

But they traded out of this year's first round so effectively they did.
