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

[Books]

Where does it say we never offered our first rounder?

It doesn't.
People read half a sentence and jump to the conclusion they want.

 

[THE_GUN]

You're right.

Should've held out for a 3rd rounder for Darling.

That was not a trade out was a hand out

 

[hawkinoz]

Hawks fans rattled after trading out of the first round of a strong round, it seems. Must be wondering wtf your LM is thinking?

naa mate, we are sitting on our hands for now on Barass and doing other trades. If they don't work out and we still have a F1 that may be offered at 7:15 pm on Wednesday for Barass.

As of now its F1 and F2 but the F1's and F2's may vanish if other trades line up

 

[amazingjoshy]

F#@#ing rude of them to make deals for pick 14 without securing it too. Surely MM sensed the lack of respect among other clubs for our trading strategy and likely also chose to make a statement.

Could have easily made a 3 way deal or 4 way involving GC or Freo that benefited all, but your list managers like your club fans seemed intent on nuking any trade that involved hawks getting back anything for pick 14 or F1.

You guys behaved as if 14 was your birthright, keen to see what you guys cook up now.

"with the selection then expected to be sent Richmond's way for Baker"

The "expected" in that sentence was only by certain journos

Clarke said in his interview last week that the trades weren't connected, but noone seemed to have listened.

 

[THE_GUN]

Hawks have ddone the best thing

Now kick back and wait for Eagles to come with documents signed for the last day
Eagles want Barrass gone more than Hawks want him at the club

Hawks 1
Eagles - 0

10 minutes left in the game

He's contracted and the new coach said he wants him

I very much doubt we'll panic last minute on this one

Thats great so maybe he stays and eagles give him what he wants and was promised

 

[bzparkes]

That was not a trade out was a hand out

That was Clark's 1st trade m8.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Thats great so maybe he stays and eagles give him what he wants and was promised

Or he stays and just fulfilled his contract

Either way something will be sorted if a trade doesn't occur. That's the beauty of a contract

 

[THE_GUN]

Either way something will be sorted if a trade doesn't occur. That's the beauty of a contract

And that would be perfect
He has been a good player thats a local boy and should never have been put in this position

 

[VicBased]

Your gun is misfiring at this point in time.
Might want to get some new ammo Brother/Sister.

Ralphy reckons the Hawks didnt even offer the f2 with pick 14, they just wanted to do 14 for Barrass+f3.

Idk fellas but thats not goodwill trading right there, at least come to the table if you want a contracted A-grader...

But usually if a Vic journalist writes something that the WCE fans don’t like it’s called “Vic biased”

Now he writes something that you do like it’s now think it’s “Gospel”

Which one is it?

Which one is it?

His opinion is crap, Hawks feeding him news isn’t.

It just shows how bias he is if anything. Not once has he mentioned what Eagles do and will do

 

[bzparkes]

And that would be perfect
He has been a good player thats a local boy and should never have been put in this position

A position of his own making?

Blaming others for your own mistakes isn't going to get you far in life, fyi.

 

[TazHawk15]

His opinion is crap, Hawks feeding him news isn’t.

It just shows how bias he is if anything. Not once has he mentioned what Eagles do and will do

So when he writes something the WCE fans don’t like it’s “Vic biased” and “ Bullshit”

Now he has written something the WCE fans like we get “See the Hawks didn’t do this or didn’t do that” Ralph’s said and suddenly it’s gospel.

So which is it?

 

[Da Game]

You gotta love MM still asking for a late pick back with Barrass for 1 F1+ 1 F2. Dude is relentless ha ha

Hes not throwing his opinion in for this one, its when they place their opinions in place of fact that we call them biased

On a serious note you do realise that the WA footy media is biased as well, I assume?

Or is it just a one way thing?

 

[stallon]

Ever thought his opinion is could be wrong?

What?

His opinion is almost always wrong, hes presenting the hawks former offer as a fact, not an opinion.
He said the offer was not 14+f2 for barrass+f3, no "expects" in there

Our media is shocking, but we acknowledge that.

You are still here defending Jon Ralph…

No I was doing the opposite, try to keep up.

Anyway I am out until the deal is announced (It’s been done but the AFL wants to wait till closer to the deadline)

Relax everyone.

 

[triple treat]

Then he just stays ? Why are you pretending that he is out of contract

Why would we bend over when he has a 3 year deal exactly?

How am pretending he’s not contracted? I said IF he gets traded it’ll be to the Hawks! Because at this stage that’s who’s been nominated so that’s where he wants to go.

 

[asanque]

F1 (Blues) and F2 (Blues) for Barass and F3 seems more than fair.

Can somewhat understand the Eagle's reluctance when it was 14 and F2 (Hawks) for Barrass and F3 but much better potential picks with the Blues Future picks available

Barrass is 29 and won't be there for the next Eagles flag tilt, so win for all.
