Speculation Tom Barrass [UFA 2027, reportedly headed to Hawthorn]

[SSSSSS]

A rough outline of the deal would have been agreed upon between the clubs for a while now.

Eagles and Hawks have had a month to work it out.

Just going to be a bit of posturing from both clubs regarding the steak knives.

Expect it to be done sooner rather than later but probably not until later this week.

With an F4 coming back our way

It'll be Baker and Bolton for Barrass plus we will throw in Rotham and future 4th

Should pull a swift one and get Houston.

13 is overs for barrass. 30 next year, never been AA and has publicly stated his back is rooted.

I dont think its overs given he is contracted. But the 2 x 1sts feels insane. West Coast apparently also after a GCS player as well as Baker so maybe they will need to get this deal done fairly quick.

Though GCS may give away the player and a 1st round pick for a 2nd round pick.

Just saying 2 firsts is disingenuous, not all firsts are equal. As it stands it's pick 14 or 15 and every chance it's thereabouts if not later next season. If it was a top 10 pick it would be a different story, but you'll be getting one of the best KPD in the game in his prime, under contract, so 2 mid teens picks is more than fair. If he didn't play alongside Mcgovern and had a couple less untimely minor injuries he'd probably have a couple of AA jackets by now, and at times over the last couple of seasons has performed better than Mcgovern.

Being better than a guy likely to retire in the next year or 2 should be expected.

There's no kpd in the comp better than McGovern, it's no small feat to outshine him

Wait, GCS player? Haven’t heard about that?

Was in amongst the many tidbits of yesterday, including GCS willing to pay a 1st round pick for Noble who played VFL for most of the year and wouldnt get a game if the Pies had no injuries.

Everything involving GCS is just a shit show.
