I would have thought Hawthorn would want to add another young top draft pick to this young group asap. Get them all building together.

We are targetting the draft and pick 14 in this years draft is like pick 8 in next years draft.
I think it gives us flexibility to explore both.So the point of the trade is to use at the draft and not to get Houston?
Nobody could definitively rate the 2025 draft class at this point. Look at the players being talked for this year, 12 months ago. It completely changes in their final year.
It will be funny if tigers have a 4 year period of form like North have and their 3 top 10 picks leave after 3 years.This trade reflects a real vic bias to form an alliance against interstate teams.
So what we now have is west coast will get a future first and second (later in the draft going by hawthorn's second half of the year) for a premiership key back. In the top 5 in the league. Which is unders
We have Richmond getting pick 6 plus maybe 13 from the sun's. Overs
Collingwood getting a first for noble. Overs
Houston pick 13 or 1r and early second to either Carlton or Collingwood which is unders
Bolton 2 firsts from freo is overs
Baker a first is overs too
But the afl turn a blind eye
By trading out 14, they probably still want Barrass or some other player we dont know theyre big on.I would have thought Hawthorn would want to add another young top draft pick to this young group asap. Get them all building together.

Well the vic clubs seem to be wanting way overs, whilst west Coast are said to be holding the trade up of barass. Now the 2 vic clubs have combined to make rhe trade even weakerBut 4 of those players are under contract, they can let them go for whatever they want. If West Coast or Port let their players go for unders thats on them. Certainly in Ports case where they are in a premiership window, letting Houston go at all to a team that is also challenging is madness unless you are getting 2 or 3 times what hes worth.

Hawthorn already have 3 top 10 draft picks from the last 3 years that are trying to squeeze into 1 starting spot on the bench or they’re playing at Box Hill each week.I would have thought Hawthorn would want to add another young top draft pick to this young group asap.

When has Barrass ever been a top 5 key defender in the league? Certainly isn’t now.This trade reflects a real vic bias to form an alliance against interstate teams.
