You sound like that bloke whos says yeah but i only copped 1 black eye and i could of had 2

The Hawks gave the eagles a fair offer for a 29 year old bloke with back problems

should have taken it

Now the eagles will probably have to split #3 for baker and junk
Lol, are West Coast just supposed to accept s##t deals from Vic clubs?

If Baker still elects WCE, Tiges will just have to accept pick 26, that's how it works right?
 
Imagine coming back from trade period weaker than what you started with.

with no way of improving the team when you feel you can challenge for premiership in 2025. Now you can’t improve via barrass or via draft.

But you have a future carlton pick 35 ish -45ish to help you sleep at night.
Already signed Battle as and FA.

Keep up Sonny Jim
 
Brian Lake was the cherry on top.

He elevated us from a GF loss to a 3peat team.

Sam Mitchell has said many times he believes he has the core of a premiership side. He just needs to add some pieces.

TB is an upgrade on what we have, but what we have is already sufficient to competing in the pointy end. TB just accelerates our Premiership window opening a few years earlier rather than waiting another 50 games for more experience in a younger core.

Bit of success in 1 year and every overexcitable Hawks schoolgirl has them in premiership contention (almost a bit like WC 2012 - remember that flogging roo boys!!!).

Their current core is light on for premiership side and TB wouldn't change this.

Best move for them long term is not trading for TB and personally as a WC supporter, completely ambivalent to this turn of events.

Lol we haven't lost anyone and we gained St Kilda's top 3 BNF player for free.

You're a few weetbix short today.
 
14 for Baker in a straight swap is a terrible deal that id like to think we werent on board with.
14 for Baker + a 2024 2nd rounder id settle for.
If the Tigers are happy with a f1 for Baker + a 2nd rounder then sure
That is a distinct possibility but only if its the eagles F1 not Hawks

#3 is getting more and more likely with Matty Clarke now

50 more games in the likes of Weddle, Watson, Newcombe, Day, Mackenzie, Ward, McDonald, Dear etc. Still have the likes of McCabe to come on.

Guided by more mature established players in Meek, Worpel, Sicily, Battle, Lewis, Moore, Scrimshaw, Hardwick, Amon, Impey and possibly TB.

I think we'd be a decent chance to play in the pointy end of the season next year and beyond.

Who knows? Maybe we will go backwards but I'm pretty confident our list is building something special for a long-term period of time.
 
Good to see we have changed tactics and are now stockpiling 2025 picks for our Harley Reid trade. Bring the kid home to play with his mate the Wiz
Presuming that he doesn't sign on for a gazillion dollars next year, unless you can get a top 5 and top 10 pick as a starting point, Hawks can go to the back of the line.

No way you're getting Harley Reid with late 1st rounders that could be in the 20's by the time the 2025 draft rolls around.

Well then Hawks F1 should be quite attractive. Easily a top 10 pick.

F1 for Barass sounds quite a bit overs then.

If you had a bit of self awareness you would know that Barass still wants to get to hawks.

So I pulling that f1 offer. Pick 33 and Blues F2 would be perfect. Eagles just got to accept it. ok?

PS : Eagles/Tigers fans need to move on from Pick 14. Its gone. Can't get it, just like how you can't get pick 12 or 13 or 15.

Start getting used to new reality. Take a deep breath.

West Coast: Pick 14 isn't enough

Hawthorn: Trades out pick 14 to obtain additional pieces.

It's also funny because no doubt us and the Eagles would have spoken about whether we could do something like this and if that would be enough to get a deal done before this trade was completed.

Way to miss the point.... the 2nd part is exactly what I said for this stage of Hawks development.

Either way, would be sort of funny now if the Hawks picks trade nets Freo Bolton and Baker and significantly bolsters another contender that's heading into the window with the Hawks.
 
An option I haven't considered - given Hawthorn has just received an F1 and an F2 for 14, it wouldn't be unreasonable for us to requested those picks plus the original F2. ie. F1 + 2x F2 for F3
 
We don’t need barrass deal to get baker over the line.

And barrass will find another. If he hates wce as much as hawks like to think he does, he will find another club out of desperation. Plenty of Victorian clubs would love a full back. You think other clubs are not enquiring and offering? How naive are you? It’s not hawks or wce. And as mcqualter just said, he would love barrass back. So maybe at worst he can sweet talk him back.

Such big change to team setup affected by a later pick or two.

Strange rant with literally no relevance to the conversation that didnt include you. Are you a little embarrassed?

Dont recommend, 2/10 at best.
