Speculation Tom Barrass [UFA 2027]

[Coasters7]

Different group that promised him but current group will pay what was promised at a last resort? Hmmm Yeah nah no being pushed out the door in that!

Huge difference between pushing someone out and being open to a fair deal that suits both WC and Barrass. He’s clearly available but we aren’t just giving him away.

 

[banzai]

Youre having a laugh no? He’s one of the best backmen in the league in his prime with 3 years to run on his contract. With the Hawks cracking the 8 this week that pick is now outside 10.

It’s both first rounders easily, especially if you climb a couple more spots (likely with your fixture). You cant be going after a contracted top 5 defender and not having to pay up for him.

~12 and F12 is more than fair for both sides.

If Hawthorn go deep this season, they will surely be premiership favs going into next season with Barass and possibly Battle (who is very underated). You would surely need to be asking for both firsts.

He's 29 with back problems, West Coast need an injection of youth. First rounder and a player like DGB is fair. You're delusional if you think he's worth two first round picks.

Steven May in his actual prime was traded for Pick 6.

A first and DGB is equivalent to trying to pay 4 and Brockman for Reid last year

Ain't happening.

Also, for the umpteenth time he doesn't have back problems that will affect his longevity/ability to play.

 

[Lingsface]

Barrass is being traded for an assistant from Hawthorn to coach at Eagles I heard.

Want to stake your account that it's closer to two first than one?

 

[stallon]

The fact that the trade has been talked about for so long and seems more and more likely makes it sound like a rough valuation on TB has been agreed on.

Id imagine something along the lines of pick 10 + a 2nd rounder as the base value, if the Hawks 1st falls as they make finals then their F1 is on the table, likely with other picks moving around to get the rough value of 10+2nd rounder.

You dont offer 5 year deals likely on close to $1mil and then offer a late 1st rounder only, the Hawks list management will know this as much as the Hawks fans here wont like it, and itll get done for fair value

You can't be essentially pushing out a near 30 year old with a bad back and demanding the world either. You are right that 1 first is probably not enough, 2 firsts is certainly too much.

Both first rounders

Living in genuine dreamland

 

[TylerDurden]

I see the fun has already started.

 

[suburb whispers]

Eagles supporters are going to hit the roof when the actual trade goes through…
ROBBED!!! They’ll be screaming…

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Apparently Eagles want 2 first rounder's in this draft to get it done according to reports here...

Even I think thats overs

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Chesser want a good home too? Throw him in

We all know its more then likely to be the other way around here with Hawks fans in hysterics over giving up more then a 1st rounder

But why though? Not sure he fits a need for Box Hill.

To be fair both sides feeling like they were stiffed is generally a sign it was a pretty fair trade

Steven May in his actual prime was traded for Pick 6.

Hawks first and Collingwoods 2nd is probably on the money. DGB could be picked up as a DFA. He’s got no value.

KPD’s of Barrass’ quality are incredibly rare in this market, but 2 firsts would be a surprise to me.

Are you a closet Richmond supporter?

Why's there always some dumbarse desperate to make a bet on internet forums?

We're not 'pushing' him out, he simply wants more years/money and Hawthorn are offering it and we don't want to match.

He's perfectly welcome to stay.

 

[bzparkes]

Bet you he isn't.

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

One thind id like to see us do is get in Jiaths ear and talk him to coming the other way. First rounder + Jiath could work.
