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

[triple treat]

So he helps the Hawks win a flag.

You answered your own question then didnt you.

And that is why Mitchell flew all the way to WA to talk one on ine with him.

Yes he would help, but we have Blank back next year who is more than capable of holding down fullback (only about 10 games played and will get better). For about 1st round pick I say get it done for anything more I would walk.

The difference between Barrass and Blanck would be about 6 goals.

Your probably right but I'm not to sure if it's the right decision to be paying the price at this stage. Hope the club proves me wrong but not confident at this stage and hope no futures are involved.

If Barrass is saving 6 goals by himself then the Eagles should just hold onto him as 6 goal difference a game is huge for them

 

[halfback dasher]

I do wonder if the handshake deal behind the scenes is we let English walk as a FA, offer those dollars to Barrass, and WCE trigger band 1 and get that pick for Barrass with a "floor" so if that pick is too late the Bulldogs stump up an extra pick.

In cap terms we'd be paying Barrass instead of Tim so no change to our cap. West Coast effectively get an extra first rounder and Tim English for Barrass.
We ruck Lobb/Darcy next year.

Don’t waste your thoughts on this one Mof

Not really, difference between losing by 25 or 60 , just means we get a better pick end of next year

Sumich or Vlahos? Always said they were both the greatest most reliable news breakers in the business

 

[TylerDurden]

Huge backflip if true.

Awesome. We get to keep our first pick.

Sumich or Vlahos? Always said they were both the greatest most reliable news breakers in the business

Vlahos said Cogs was a moral certainty to get to Hawthorn. He was miles off.

I was thinking Peter Bosustow......

Both of them are absolute hacks and I legit cant remember them ever being right on anything but there is only one way Sydney are getting Barrass and it very much suits my agenda so imma run with this as fact.

Doubt it, swans list boss was on Gettable a couple of weeks ago and said due to the TTP you don’t have to be Einstein to work out they won’t be in the market for a high profile player…… (unless things change significantly)

If the Eagle are going to pay a fair Chuck of his salary…. Wow wee 18*/20/Sheldeick and ?

There is only one way Swans can afford Barrass given the money being thrown about and Freo are there to assist if needed

He’s only on a low salary for next year, they would at least wait a year before he forces it. I’m sure with all the Swans and Dockers picks in play their can be a 3 way deal there, we pay TB $$ for a couple of years

 

[ghostbat12]

Here is the real reason hawks are chasing barrass.

By bringing him in, they are hoping to transition from granger-barrass to barrass without anyone noticing. DGB will then be quietly put down and hope is that the similar names will create enough confusion to avoid questioning the recruiters.

 

[Farang83150]

No Barrass doesn’t. As I’ve said earlier Barrass will make very little difference to us competing for a flag next year.

It’s all about the younger guys upfield being able to back up from the end of this year and go again.

Our club seems determined to go for a KPD having chased McKay and Esava.

So will likely overpay for Barrass. I just don’t see as much value in it.

I guess Mitchell obviously see's what you don't.

 

[Farang83150]

Crap teams trading out in contract experienced players and then getting the begging bowl out for priority picks is B/S ….. list tanking should not be encouraged

Tool, how do you know pp have been asked for.
But having said that you'd definitely be an authority on a team being utter sh!t.

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

One of the best few KPDs in the comp and is contracted for 3 more years, he absolutely is worth a pick in that area

With his ability yes, with his age and back issues, if he was a Carlton player that your club is chasing to obtain for example you wouldn't be saying this.

 

[H00t]

I guess Mitchell obviously see's what you don't.

That’s what I said. Mitchell wants to overpay for a KPD. Hence going so hard for McKay and Esava who aren’t very good.

Barrass is at least a much better player than those two so that’s an improvement there.

I only don’t want him because of his age, cost and back. Not because he’s a bad player.

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

Oh, here comes the perennially offended Dogs supporter, ready to fight the good fight whenever their club/player is mentioned on the D&T board

Oh please that happens to everybody when discussing their own player(s)

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

Barrass would go close to best at any club

Thats not the point of what I was saying anyway

Hes shopping himself around, he wants more money and 2 more years

ill have what this guy is taking to be this deluded and believe it

I do wonder if the handshake deal behind the scenes is we let English walk as a FA, offer those dollars to Barrass, and WCE trigger band 1 and get that pick for Barrass with a "floor" so if that pick is too late the Bulldogs stump up an extra pick.

I wouldn't move Lobb away from defence now

Yes I would. If I thought a KPD was the biggest weakness and we had all the other holes filled why tf wouldn't I do it?

Teams exist to win premierships lol you do what you have to to win them

Just say you haven't watched him play mate
