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

[Iceman!]

I think the question becomes where does he fit in?

Barrass, Battle, Sicily, CJ, Hardwick, Serong, Impey, Weddle, Scrimshaw are guys i can think of off the top of my head that are in line for selection as best 22 (23) defenders (i'm sure you blokes could name more!)

That's 9 blokes plus Frost makes 10 and then that's not even mentioning Blanck who has been out for ages which makes it 11.

11 blokes trying to fit into 6 spots plus 1 bench player so 7 spots.
I can see Frosty might be the unlucky one and get squeezed out, he'd be spending a lot of time playing for Box Hill.

Team like North needs Key Defenders, he would be much more likely to get a gig there.

Frost can play smaller so he has that as a chance to make a spot for himself. But the point is more just squads win premierships and if he ends up being depth next year he would be one of the best depth key position players in the league. We can’t move him on for next to nothing.

they've been paying overs in most trades for sometime i.e. Wingard

"Overpaying". Ryan Burton, 15 and 35 for a contracted 2x All Australian (+ a future third).

And with that trade immediately weakening Port's best 22, the future third would've been expected to be only a few pick downgrade on 35.

We got 71 games out of wingard in exchange for 15 and 107 games you've got for burton.

As much as I appreciate what wingard provided, I thought it was a bad trade at the time and still do think so.

Sicily and hardwick can both play forward
CJ plays wing more now
Weddle can play anywhere

This year we have needed to play sic, hardwick and weds in defense, next year they will allow us more flexibility.

It was a bad trade because Hawthorn made a mess of making use of Chad Wingard.

Playing a forward as a forward? how dare we!

Chad arrived at the Hawks in the wrong years, he is not the kind of player you build a premiership around.

You have your premiership team and Wingard is the cherry on top of the cream.

Poor Chads body sadly just let him down.

He'd been a midfielder for the last few years. So yeah, proved my point

So what’s happened in the 19 pages since I last looked? Ah I see…nothing. Still our first and a bit more done on day 1 of the trade period then? Carry on…

Nah still at 2 x 1st rounders , The eagles list management waiting for better offers

2 x firsts is fine depending on what comes back. Their current or f2 works.

No they need the F2 but will you settle for F3

 

[anotherletdown]

Interesting thread. FWIW, not much I know, but i think the Hawks first and future 2nd for WC's future 3rd sounds right.

For me that’s overs. It’s a mid first round pick and a slide that’s no more than 10 picks. So it has to be a slide of adjacent rounds. I would consider r1 and f1 for Barrass, r4 (eagles) and f3 eagles. The r4 eagles is in the 50s and in this draft there will be a decent player available is the logic. That said I would be holding firm on r1 and swap of f1 for f2 as the max we should be giving but I would be going in with just our r1 pick and saying we have extended frost and signed Battle take it or leave it.

Correct weight.

Yep that’s about what it will be.
Will be hard to please both sets of supporters though.

A lot of Hawk supporters “We don’t need a 29yo with back issues who has never been an AA player”

A lot of WCE supporters “Give us two first rounders for this fantastic player who makes Chris Langford look like a hack”

 

[Obeanie1]

750k.. and you believe thats what he is worth?

Before the uplift it was reported at $750k.

Noone knows what the increase was.

 

[Obeanie1]

Just that you wouldn’t be a great betting man.

He'd be great if you were betting against him!

It's all about perspective.

In that scenario, it's a 2024 2nd rd pick coming back.

Only way that’s happening is if you are paying some of his salary

As Twomey said

Omitting certain info to prove a point that wasn’t made

Tsk Tsk Tsk

Well of course we'd pay salary, we have to just to meet the cap.

obviously, did you think we wouldnt be paying any of it?

 

[BIGHAWK23]

Please, the carry on regarding cash in here

Not one of you mentioned you would be paying any salary

 

[HeHateMe]

I thought it would depend on what deal was struck. If it's 13 and F1 for 23 and Barrass would think salary will be paid, if it's 13 and F2 for Barrass and F3 I doubt you'd want to pay much.

We don't exactly need the salary so thought maybe the latter is closer to where it would land. But the club might have other plans moving forward where it might unlock.
