Speculation Tom Barrass [UFA 2027] - Reportedly headed to Hawthorn

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Wow. Could be staying then.

Please make this happen

If we keep Barrass and then dont get Baker, im stoked with that result

 

[BIGHAWK23]

Said no to a first and second

What a horrendous choke

 

[TazHawk15]

What is the Hawks' play here? I don't get it.

Patients grasshopper.

 

[freo_leo29]

Saints did the same thing to us for brad Hill


He still ended up there, got good steak knives in acres out of it


Also ended up with Serong on that deal, so can't complain too much in the end

How do you think it happens now? We wanted a current year 1st rounder + something, supposedly we wanted your f2.
Now you have less attractive assets to work with, is Cam Mckenzie on the table now or something?

I'm not going to pretend to know what is going on behind closed doors but I imagine WC said they needed more than pick 14 and their request for more was more than Hawthorn were keen to pay so they talked to some other clubs (i.e. Carlton) to sound out what more they can get with what they have and ran that by West Coast, who agreed.

Now they're executing those deal(s) to satisfy West Coast. I have no idea exactly what hat looks like (and neither does anyone else).

Usually the most one-eyed supporters on both sides will be dissatisfied with the final deal (suggesting it is probably about right)

The Vic narrative here is hilarious

 

[Alex_au]

No pick 14 for you Eagles

 

[hawkinoz]

Well looks like Eagles list manager bought into the WA spin and tried to play poker.

Hawks F1+ a F2 on table for Barass now, no need for your F3. Happy now?

 

[bzparkes]

They didn’t offer him a better deal that never eventuated?

There was no formal offer from the club, no. They did give him more money though but he supposedly 'expected' more.

Show me on the doll when the Victorians hurt you…

This is pretty much exactly what most supporters wanted.

This is a win for us, not Hawthorn and Richmond, lol.

Seems like we're not bending over for shit offers.

 

[JackOutback]

I'm sure a deal will get done, but don't see how future picks gets us there, particularly from a team that, despite it's late season fall this year, is also expected to be up and about next year. We need picks this year and one at the pointy end.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

No pick 14 for you Eagles

Dude you forgot the extra win

NO LIAM BAKER!!!!

Im basically running around the house pantless celebrating rigjht now

 

[Iceman!]

They made him a promise that he felt they felt they didn’t honour which you know, arguing otherwise is semantics. The posturing is stupid. It always has been in the best interests of everyone involved to get a deal done.

Very

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Said it before but id give Sydney a call now

19,22 and future 1st for Barrass and future 2nd like deal works

Richmond can take pick 19 or **** off

 

[markr]

WCE: We want a future 2nd too.
Hawks: Say no more fam.

 

[SSSSSS]

Well there's your 1st and 2nd round pick Eagles.

 

[ghostbat12]

If you believe A) That a rebuilding side like yours doesn't "need" picks and B) that Barrass can just find a different suitor with a week left in the trade period, you are extremely naive.

I think you are the naive one if you think quality players can’t find a home.

Enjoy being smacked in finals because you looked to satisfy ego of being sick of waiting.

Now you aren’t sick of waiting.

Very. You happy? Enjoy your future first. I am sure it will help you in finals against big forwards in 2025.

Now you aren’t sick of waiting.

Being smacked in finals is still a whole lot better than whatever the Eagles are doing at the moment.

Calm your farm though. The deal will get done. Nothing surer.

Eagles didn't like what we offered. Fair enough. We've gone out and tried to piece together something different.

I don't recall a single big forward getting a hold of us this year apart from Hogan, who pretty much got a hold of everyone.

 

[Burtman]

Another bottom 3 finish for the eagles while their list gets older. At least Richmond was smart enough to offload some players while they still had some worth

Nisbett made a 'handshake' deal.

That's not a club promise and it wasn't smart of Barrass to go against his manager's advice and not get it in writing.

 

[stac]

Hawks probably looking at GC pick 6
GC need lots of points next year for some highly regarded players especially with points system changing
