Traded Tom Barrass & 2025 F4 (WCE) traded to Hawthorn for 2025 F1, F2 & F3 (all Haw)

Thilthorpe wasn't playing... who are you going to play on him?

You keep saying this when it's a lie your boy kicked two that day

[Come back Cyril]

Battle doesnt play on a KPF, he was the Saints 3rd tall behind Howard and Wilkie. Battle isnt your KPD to play on a power forward.

Played on Jeremy Cameron and towelled him up. Frost will continue to play on bigger KPFs, TB far better but Frosty no liability

 

[Chioli]

Yet forgot Thilthorpe wasn't playing...

Any way the point is the Hawks won't be a chance for a flag without a decent key defender.

Frost is average which is why you chased Barrass so hard.

Hawks won by 11 goals ffs.

Backline of

Hardwick Frost Sicily
scrimshaw Battle Impey with Weddle and Amon rotating through and Blanck coming back from a knee reconstruction + first round pick defender McCabe (197cm) and Serong as backup.

Hawks are not desperate for this deal.

Eagles on the other hand have the second worst list in the AFL and after the tigers take 4-6 first round picks this year it’s getting close to the worst. Tassie are 3 years from drafting kids.

Eagles would easily be my second favourite team in the AFL but eagles need picks in more than hawks need a key defender. Also find it crazy if you pay big for Baker rather than getting another kid but hey each to their own

They won by 11 goals with the big fella playing. It doesn't matter

lol, funny how we all thought he didn’t play and had to check. He’s some player!

 

[stallon]

Definitely, we want Barrass and tend to trade in good faith. Still different to what I heard but we'll never know now.

Apparently not, but lets wait and see what the end result is.
We didnt have to trade for Brockman last year, instead offered what could be considered overs, but apparently that means nothing now

Jeremy Cameron isnt a big powerful forward, hes tall but relies on athletic ability more than strength. Not like the Thilthorpes of the world do

Quality post Kane.

You're so invested in trolling Hawthorn and the supporters that you can't even troll properly.

Don't hate the player, hate the game.

Barrass is not playing on him

 

[CoagVex]

Our defence tore the Dogs forwards a new one in the Final. Darcy, Ugle Hagan, Naughton, Bont. I'm sure we'll do fine against the much vaunted Crows forwards led by bogan grandpa Tex, while adding Battle already, and you'd be lucky to score 5 goals all up with Barass there sheesh

 

[Chioli]

Obviously. Just saying if someone wanted to say the crows were missing a game changer, Rankine is that guy

Could you not come up with someone better than the Adelaide bloke who averages a goal a game?

 

[matey]

This thread is about Barrass.

Imo, the Hawks can't threaten for a flag without a gun key defender.

This is why you need someone like Barrass.

Do you honestly think you can rely on Frost?

As per usual always making sense this thread is about Frost …… but can’t find my reading glasses. Is Barrass in there?

 

[stallon]

Hes a 22 year old KPF who missed a heap of footy this year, generally played 3rd fiddle to Tex and Fogarty too.
Most KPFs dont kick that many goals in their first few years. Id say hes tracking just fine.

I didnt bring up Thilthorpe, someone else did, but hes still a good example of the type of forward you guys dont have a guy to man up

Then how did he perform so well this year?

 

[Priddis Is Done]

So looks like #14 + F1 for Barrass + F2 was never really a realistic option
Eagles should have just taken #14 for a player that clearly was not wanted

Matty Clarke has made a mess of his 1st trade

Like 6 and a 2nd rounder for a bog average rioli? And 6 is about to be traded away so you have no say in the trade?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Lol, then why are you trying to bring in 2 new key defenders if Frost is so awesome...

 

[Philhawk]

Since when is that the reason why trades are done?

We think can upgrade our depth down back. That’s why we are trying to get him. That doesn’t mean anything about him. He’s fantastic.

If we don’t, we’ll stick with the guy who got us to a semi this year - and could have gone further if he didn’t go down may injury for the last match.

Why do you think the only positions you have been seriously targeting with FA & trades are 2 key defenders?

Won't be a good look if you fail to pony up after targeting Barrass hard during the year.

It’s not the only positions we’re targeting. It’s the only ones that are public. We’re also furiously in the market for big tall forwards and outside run, but we’ve had less success getting those players over the line - unlike Barrass and Battle.

There’s always this charade of “will they or won’t they” during trade week. It’ll get done. I just don’t expect we’ll end up giving 2 F1’s unless we get something back this year.

Weagles were not asking for 2x 1st's... but wanted more than just your 1st.
Now you don't have any this year...

Yes, you have publicly targeted 2 key defenders for very good reason as a priority.

It won't be a good look getting a player to agree to join you, then fail to trade them.

Haha. The fact that Tilthorpe is the example shows how much of a threat big lumbering KPFs are in today's game. TB will be great as an interceptor and gives us 2 more years than Frosty (we hope), but being roasted by power forwards is not a concern.

 

[HairyO]

Another way Cameron is not like Thilthorpe is Cameron routinely kicks bags of goals.

King just got an 8 year contract with the Saints. Do we worry about them as well?

We did just fine with a single key back. Next year we will have 2 with Sicily, Battle and Weddle. The idea that we are desperately in need of Barrass is ridiculous. He will be a great addition but we still get by without him.
