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

[Ash1337]

Eagles Trade Barrass Darling and F4 get 13 30 F2
North Trade F2 get Darling F3 & F4
Hawks Trade 13 30 and F3 get Barrass

 

[RCAB]

Murmurs are Hawks want Eagles to contribute a fair bit to Barass salary which is why we are pushing real hard for the 2 1st rounders

No idea why Hawks would care about that if they had money for Perryman but missed out but seems they do care ? Maybe they got interest in LDU and Cam Rayner next free agency period or something so are preparing for that

Yeah mate, every club's clearing cap space just for Harley.

Harley Reid cap space

Why would we trade with you? We already have all your draft picks

Why would we trade with you? We already have all your draft picks

He still has 2 years left to run on his initial contract, so we’ll have more by then.

 

[stallon]

That doesn't make sense to me. Not only should they not yet need cap room but trading out a future 1st basically immediately rules you out of any decent names next year unless you lose a good player - see Pies and Port. I don't see any reason behind asking for a big cap contribution if it means losing a future 1st.

They could chase free agents, or they could use their 2026/2027 future picks

Free agents yes, i don't think futures 3 drafts down the track will be valued too high.

They wont be getting A-grade talent but theyll still have opportunities to improve their list. Theyll be able to use that cap space somehow, even if it doesnt show for a couple more years. Being able to frontload an extra few hundred k could be the difference

[SweatOnMySkin]

hawks freeing up space to be able to spalsh around making moves like the Battle one this year makes complete sense to me. SOme players you pay for with draft picks, some you pay for with salary

 

[TylerDurden]

Hahah. It's a media driven narrative. It's not happening. We've got cap to spend and will spend it.

Harley Reid cap space

Harley is a Cats nuffie, if he’s coming back Home it’s to play for one team

But Hawks will absolutely be a huge free agent destination in the next decade.
Can see why Barrass, Battle, Bailey Smith and Perryman were all intrigued.

I can imagine in the next 4/5 years Hawks swooping on some big OOC and Free Agent players.
What is this?!? The bloody 2010’s all over again

FTFY.

Players generally stop supporting the club they supported growing up after a few months.

Players rarely end up going to a club they supported as a kid.

Considering Harley told every recruitment team his first choice would be Collingwood, if he could choose where drafted, I'd say if he ever were to return to Vic, it wouldn't be for Geelong.

Collingwood does seem like a much more likely outcome, behind staying at West Coast.

Is that so? I guess we’ll have to wait and see then
I personally don’t think he’s leaving from his first OOC stage because he’ll want to stay and try and win one with the Eagles first… I’m just saying what BigFooty doesn’t want to accept.
He IS a Cats nuffie. He’s mates with the Cats boys, he idolised Selwood and still does with Danger.
But sure, we’ll just go on your word as you were in those meetings

Either way, Tom Barrass thread so back on track.

Two firsts for a F2 sounds fair.

- Hawthorn nuffie. Yet he ain't coming. İt's not the panesea to where players prefer to go.

 

[Books]

Gettable blokes recon 2 1st's also

Cal Twomey seems desperate to see Hawthorn pay 2 x first rounders.
He has speculated about a second going back or Eagles paying some salary, but all he has is speculation. No quotes. No facts. Just thought bubbles to try to fill air time.

Hes hardly going to go around recording every single conversation he has. Hes generally around the mark, and the 2 1sts for barrass and a 2nd is a reasonable deal if you take out any bias.
Its not like he suggested the hawks were willing to pay 2 firsts for Barrass alone

how about you take out your bias. In what world is a 29 year old who the eagles are happy to see the back of, worth 2 first rounders. Come on man

I’m happy to hear examples of 29 year olds that are being virtually shown the door, being worth 2 first rounders

When you blokes are so keen you flew across the country to meet him during the season and clearly have a big need for an A-grade KPD its no surprise hes worth a lot

What’s your point? Mitchell and Dylan Moore also flew to Sydney to meet up with Perryman.
Believe it or not it’s common practice to meet targets in person instead of just via email or SMS.
It would be a poorly run club that doesn’t meet up with potential recruits
