this is the Barras thread - if you want to talk about drafting, previous picks and current state head to the appropriate threads.
It all depends on whether Sydney think they are in the Premiership Window or not.
We've seen how a lack of KPD has hurt the team this year.
Not sure whether Paddy will retun to football and Tom seems also to be injury prone.
Barrass is definitely the Best KPD who Sydney can realistically target.

Eagles will hold him to his contract and being a WA boy and him choosing to sign long term last year it’s safe to say he won’t go anyway

Any club would take him. I’d be happy enough to offer up Freo’s first pick (hopefully anywhere from 6-10) for him. May was 28 and we paid pick 6 for him. Would be happy to do it all again.

He was 27 before the game against Sydney started...turned 29 after the final siren.
Yeah tend to agree. If the Eagles are happy to trade him - and they should because he is worth something and won't be there when they contend again. At this stage the players who will be there when they contend again are in primary school.
Just a matter of matching up what club needs him and what they can pay.
Can the Eagles & Barras just mutually tear up his contract so he becomes a free agent? Not sure if he could get pick 2 for compo but the AFL has been known to offer amazing deals as silent pp's in the past?

I'd easily give Essendon's 1st rounder for a Barrass.

According to a certain clubs recruiter, Dogs, Essendon, Sydney and Brisbane are the 4 clubs in his ear, his open to trade and the Eagles will consider it if the offer is good enough.
Top 10 pick would probably get it done.

How is Busslinger tracking? Any chance of straight swap?
I think the motivation for shopping Barrass is the aim of being able to land Curtin whilst also taking Reid.

Buss needs size but the skill is 100% there. Could see him back in WA sooner than later, think he’ll make a very good intercepting defender.

Barrass for Busslinger + a little on top makes sense for both
Eagles have to take a currency equating to a top 10 pick

Would love him at Essendon rather than McKay but just not sure what to give for him. Rather not use our first.
Reckon if he leaves it is to Sydney.

He played a great game yesterday
Really? Youll give a top 10 pick for a 28 year old key defender when you have Ridley, Laverde, BZT and Reid coming through?
West Coast would jump at that.

Dogs and Sydney emerging as the two front runners for Barrass.
I'd put my money on Sydney tho.

Eagles will want overs for him due to the contract so hard to see the dogs getting him
Sydney in prime position to get it done

Dogs have the picks and the cap but I doubt Power wants to get rid of either of our first rounders.
Top 10 pick wont get it done, it might get it done if Barrass was uncontracted, but the Eagles dont have to let him go. Having him there would be incredibly valuable for the other young defenders coming through.
A top 6 maybe or a 7-10 with a decent player on top
Depends on if your club saw him as the missing piece between winning a flag an not winning one.
It makes sense for the Swans, due to the McCartin's concussion issues.
If all a club think they are missing a KPD, and all it takes is a pick around 5-8, which they have, then they'd be happy to take themselves out of the first round of one draft for a guaranteed gun like Barrass.
Clubs do it all the time.
