Salary dump, Gold Coast traded a player out that didn’t want to leave because they ****ed their cap and overpaid a guy that was sitting in the VFL every week.

Not sure why this is even remotely applicable to Tom Barrass in any way, shape or form.
Couldn’t be further apart.
West Coast are looking for draft capital, it's highly relevant

It's false logic to assume just because a player is under contract it automatically means you have to pay more, you keeping up?

GC wanted Bowes salary off their books so much that they gave up a top 10 pick to do it

Barrass wants to leave WC because he's being underpaid

The 2 situations are almost exact opposites. Just a bizarre one to bring up here

What the hell are you talking about? Bowes was a salary dump, where GC sent pick 7 to get Geelong to take him.

How is that even remotely relevant to Barrass?
 
I didn't ask you did I, I was talking to the WB supporter..
Ok. You realise you're posting in a player thread. Not a supporter thread. What you were saying showed a lack of understanding of how trading even works in regard to t he difference between contracted an uncontracted players getting traded.

Hawks will trade fairly, pick 13 in a very even draft is a reasonable starting point.. West Coast may land a player they rate inside the top 10 at this selection.. throw in a 2nd rounder this year or next and I think that's a fair price for a 29yo A-grader.

This would be a good outcome for both parties, Hawks get a guy who rounds out that backline and West Coast get good draft capital to help push the rebuild along for a guy that likely won't be there when they're back in the window.
 
What happened to us apparently wanting a player along with the hawks 1st?

Has that been proven untrue or has circle work in here removed that from memory?

If we are asking for 2 firsts then 1 certainly won't get it done.
They wouldn't have put 2 firsts out there if they were prepared to accept 1 first, it's just bad pr management
 
23 and our f2(likely about 23 again) would fetch a mid to late teens pick, which is roughly where we'd expect your f1 to land.

That's basically just 13 for Barrass
Fair enough. Think both clubs will be reasonable. Maybe throw in pick 30 or a fringe player also? At least you guys would get 2 1st rounders in that trade.

I'm looking forward to seeing how this plays out.. wouldn't be the first and won't be the last club that doesn't get what they ask for in a trade via the media! I think his manager would've figured out the crux of the deal before telling TB to request a trade

That gets it closer, as I said for total value the f1 is similar to the 2 2nd rounders wce would be giving up.
Essentially 13+ whatever you're adding.

2 firsts for barrass will be what the Eagles start at, but after saying 2 firsts they can't really go back and take 1 first.

2 firsts with something going back or a first + a 2nd will be around the mark
 
13 and 30 seems more likely as can't see Hawthorn taking a risk with a future first.

Adelaide last year a good example after unlucky to miss the 8, then back down to 14th
