Older (very good) player with back issues wants out of a rebuilding team.
No chance we cough up multiple firsts rounders.

If he had back issues your club wouldnt be offering him 4 years, unless you think your clubs list managers and Sam Mitchell are stupid?

There is obviously more risk involved, given his history of back issues. You'd be silly to think that it does not factor into this in any way.
No club is giving up multiple firsts for a player his age with that kind of history, especially when that player wants to leave.
I expect our first rounder and some change will get the deal done. Hopefully DGB is included on top of the picks, mainly for his own good. His value is negligible, but maybe WCE could get something out of him.
Don’t want Barrass, want Battle.
As has been said before here, if you guys keep winning them more will need to be added.
It was originally your 1st and 2nd rounders when you looked like just missing the finals, it would have been pick 10 + a pick in the late 20s.
Now that same deal is looking like it could be pick 13-16 and a late 20s pick.
Clubs pay 2nd rounders to move up 1-2 spots in that 10-14 area of the draft, thats the value thats been lost for the Eagles potentially.
If its 13/14 or later then your F1 will have to be looked at.
Something like Hawks 1st + F1 for Barrass and Wce F2 becomes reasonable.
Why do you think its one or the other?
Because I’m a David King devotee

Who might this be?
I heard this a while back as well. Was told it was someone contracted but wasn't told who. I usually won't post on here unless I get actually names as clubs are generally juggling a lot of potential recruits

All because of greedy internet list managers. Shameful conductIf thats the case Barrass is going to get pretty pissed off with the rug being pulled from under him.......again.
Well good news 'cos you're getting both.
The above mail may be on the money. Hawks won’t offer more than a first this year. We’ve also got a very promising NGA this year in Cody Anderson we’ll need the Pies second to match.
There’s another interstate key back who’ll also come onto the market shortly for approx the same value.
If West Coast ask for more (which is fair, they’re entitled to as it’s their player), I believe the club will respectfully bow out and switch targets.

WCE lied to him and now play hardball and force him to stay on pennies. Nice club that
And how did the Eagles lie to him?
He got a pay rise. So how much is he on now?
You seem to be in the know.
Barrass tested the trade waters last year. After signing an extension his manager advised against signing.
Barrass is allegedly a smart bloke. Very high IQ. He didn't act that way when he signed that long term agreement. Even after getting an uplift.
Cool story.
Hawks keep flying around the country making offers it won't back up and get done players and managers won't be taking calls from them.
What you describe is tyre kicking. Go look at cars you can't afford and have no intention in purchasing and wasting people's time.
That behaviour catches up with you eventually.

So what is it? Does the manager hate money?

Wasn’t there a “handshake” between himself and the previous management that his pay would increase by a certain amount and this new management have told him no!
Stupid on his behalf if true not to get it in writing some how, but he’s a senior player and had a bit of trust in the club, no wonder he’s pissed off and wants out!

This is why I questioned the desperate narrative. Both clubs appear to have irons in multiple fires, there might be other priority targets that haven't hit the media. Some deals hinge on others, nothing new here.
We won't find out till closer to trade period.

This deal seems to be hinging on us getting a top 5 pick for Barrass, in addition to our first and second
