• Archer Reid (2027), Loch Rawlinson (2025), and Coen Livingstone (2025) sign extensions

 

[Arr0w]

So carlton want pick 3 for a handshake and a bag of twisties?

Just sharing what I know, stated earlier, from an Eagles standpoint I wouldn't do that deal

 

[Arr0w]

He goes to Richmond to help get Baker to the Eagles.

Kennedy? Possibly, with Hopper there, they'd look to put Taranto forward again

 

[Obeanie1]

Bo is this years ginbey

A lot of similar traits yes.

Bo more agile?

Anyone have insights to Allan's football IQ and style?

 

[bombard]

I do wonder if Hawthorn were taking a punt that TB was prepared to kick up a fuss more than he has. The way they openly courted him - and as early as they did - could easily have left bad blood on both sides of the deal.

Maybe they were hoping that the combination of our coaching dramas, clear rebuilding status and a vocal TB would prompt us to sell unreasonably cheap?

 

[Elite Pete]

Played some great footy as a defender. Psycho good mark in the wet. Never been as good forward or in the middle. worth a late 1st rounder. So, for your 26 & F2 I was thinking be fair trade.

If 14 went the Tigers way, do you think anything would be coming back to the Eagles? What’s are Tigers supporters thinking?

 

[Bacchus]

He doesnt. And he doesnt have to.

M Kennedy goes to Richmond to help pay for Baker.

Tigers get M Kennedy PLUS a 2nd or F2nd whichever they prefer.

Eagles lose 3 and a F2nd

Eagles gain 12, 14, Baker plus Moir.

Blues lose 12, 14, M Kennedy and Moir.

Blues gain : 3 and 51. (Live pick 41ish)

This is a bad deal.

We are missing out on a jet for a bunch of holdens.

 

[archiemoses]

Matt Clarke needs to turn into this version of Ari Gold ASAP

 

[Bacchus]

Entitled VFL club - get what they want, decree what is fair.

 

[Bacchus]

Bo is this years ginbey

Better footballer than Ginbey.

 

[Balls In]

I hope we haven't outsmarted ourselves here. Surely pick 14 (and a second rounder) for a 29 y/o defender was grab it and run stuff. Barrass is a great intercept marker and improves a side that is balanced around that, however he is constantly exposed man on man.

+1 for team bed wetters here guys. We're growing.

I suppose in our eyes, he is contracted.

This seems to be being missed by alot. We don't have to agree to anything. If Hawks want him, then they have to satisfy us. Simple as that.

He could be a potato on legs, it doesn't matter, we need to be satisfied with the offer, otherwise he stays on next year

There's always some dh on this board with this sort of smarmy post as though our list management has been beyond reproach this past ten years. There could be some next level 4D chess behind all this or, the Hawks have just walked away after we tried to fool them into some sort of Tim Kelly largesse. We'll see but the comment stands that 14 and a 2nd rounder for Barrass was fair.

 

[KERRPOW]

Barrass rocking up to 2025 preseason training at West Coast.

Hey gaiz

It's an ongoing joke mate.

Chill out.

From all report last we were handing back our F3 as well so it was likely pick 14 plus a 5 pick upgrade

Plus our third going back which, if you believe the hype on Hawthorn, equates to 14 and a five spot upgrade or so for Barrass.

14 earmarked for Baker, which is our problem not theirs, and it makes the deal Barrass for Baker and an upgrade of a few spots in the late 30s.

No dice.

 

[RanaNaved]

Couldn't be ****ed finding the right place to put this, but was told Eli Wirrpanda won his conference B&F. Doubled (more or less) the votes of the dude who came 2nd

 

[mattyc75]

The Hawks seem to have traded 14 without a deal in place with us for the picks they were receiving, which I find quite surprising.

I’m very happy to tell the Hawks it’s 2 x F1 for Barrass and our F3 and just run the clock down. If they don’t trade then happy to keep him. In the meantime field offers from Dogs, Pies, Blues and even the Swans.

Whilst the hawks may look a bit silly for promising barrass they'll bring him over I'd say they wouldn't be desperate for a deal now they've got battle.
I hope it gets done with something for us this year to go with next year but can't see them bending over at the last minute for us

[HoneyBadger35]

Catching up on the melts.

They had no clue who our coach was even when he came from their backyard.

They reported the Hawks deal a few different ways and have come back the next day to say actually that wasn’t even offered.

Every talk around discussions and valuations has come back later with an addendum that the Eagles wanted way more.

Just relax campaigners. Nobody would be satisfied with 3 for 12 and 14, especially not with one of them leaving for Baker. The HUN running it and projecting that we get local prospect Bo Allan is almost meme worthy at this point. If it happens, melt away.

But for now, breathe. Long way to go, a lot of dead air and commercials for tyres to cover off before anything beyond Cal Papertalk goes through.

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

This bit of his article got me excited though

"Fremantle has offered Richmond its three first-round picks – 10, 11 and 18 – for Baker and teammate Shai Bolton and remains waiting for him if a trade can't be sealed at West Coast."

This is Freo being their usual flog selves, they know full well Baker is coming to us. They're just pushing up his value in Tigers eyes.

Hawthorn, a future first and second with something going back is taking the absolute p1ss. The price went up Kents, trade your F1s and find us pick 6.

 

[6285sutto]

I have a gut feeling Eagles will pull some shock stunt and do a 3 or 4 club way trade involving Brisbane to split pick 3 which involves us getting Dev. and a several picks. Hopefully Eagles don't drop the ball on this one

 

[maxrm]

If the presumably/hopefully biased narrative being spruiked by the media is genuinely the best offers we’re likely to receive, then I would love nothing more than for us to walk away from both deals.
Baker can don violet for pick #11 and our star vice-captain can stay and team up with Edwards as our starting KPDs, in turn freeing up Gov to play a free-roaming, intercept/rebounding role that can hopefully squeeze an extra season or two out of him as it wouldn’t be as physically demanding.
We take our picks to the draft and listen to the blissful whining of the Vic media. Why oh why didn’t they cave like they did with Kelly?!? Now Richmond only have 7 first-rounders and Hawthorn can’t win the premiership

Dev for pick 3?

random260 finally lands his man

a 5 pick upgrade in the early 40s
