Is it 0/2 or 0/3 now?
His still no guarantee to be at the Hawks. PS maybe read my posts. I said the Hawks hold genuine interest. Another jealous poster

Is it 0/2 or 0/3 now?
I would've thought that if you make the squad, that's your quality.
How is AA selection comparable to a defined statisticSo if you kick a point you are a proven goal kicker?
I didn’t say that, I was simply commenting on the original point about him being AA quality. I’m not suggesting it makes or breaks his value.You reckon they get into a room and be like
"Well I know you said he is worth 2 1st rounders but we think its a tad ambitious. Kane Cornes didnt even vote for him in the All Australian team. Im afraid it has to be a 1st ronder and a 2nd rounder only"
What are the reasons Barrass wants out?

Jeremy McGovern admits he’s been left “shattered” by defensive partner Tom Barrass’ trade request, but says he completely understands the reasons for his good mate wanting out of West Coast.
Barrass this week confirmed speculation that he is keen to trigger a trade to Hawthorn, despite having three years left to run on his contract at the club where he won a premiership in 2018.
Speaking for the first time since the news became public, McGovern said his fellow key backman would be difficult to replace but backed the decision from the 28-year-old’s point of view as West Coast continue their significant rebuild.
“On a mate level, for sure – I’m shattered he’s going,” McGovern said on SEN.
“I love playing with him. He’s one of my best mates, so obviously on that level I’m flat to see him go.
“He’s going to be sorely missed at the footy club, that’s for sure, and hard to replace.
“But he’s got his reasons (why) he wants to go, and I respect them and understand them with the industry that we’re in.
“I feel like he’s doing the right thing for himself and his family and the direction he wants to go.
“Selfishly, I’d love him to stay, and I’ll miss him for sure. But I understand it and support everything he’s doing, as much as I’d love to have him out there with me all the time.”
Barrass enjoyed another strong campaign in 2024 before missing the final four games of West Coast’s season in the immediate aftermath of meeting with Hawks coach Sam Mitchell.
McGovern confirmed he had been in conversations with Barrass throughout the year about his future.
“We chat about it a fair bit – not just with Tommy but everyone and the club and the direction we’re going,” McGovern said.
“Obviously those conversations happen over the year, not just this year, but most years.
“I’ve got a great understanding of the decision and the reason he’s made it.”
Obviously $$$ and contract length. Thank **** Eagles didn't give in like they usually do and match the contract

So overrated.
Richmond might have too many picks, they might want to spread out their talent a bit and move 1-2 first rounders into next yearHow would that trade work? What's in it for Richmond?
At the end of the day, hawthorn has approached a contracted player with an offer. It's up to them to get it done. How the Eagles respond is unknown. Do they do a Geelong? Let's see.
You are ignoring the steps prior to that.
Eagles sounded out Dogs to take him over. He was interested.
Hawks jumped in and said we would like to talk. None of this head hunted business.
Eagles are the ones who put him on the market, no different to Hawks putting Tom Mitchell on the market & listening to offers.
Lets hope outcomes are similar
Richmond will be looking to move #21 and possibly the graham compo #22 into 2025Richmond might have too many picks, they might want to spread out their talent a bit and move 1-2 first rounders into next year

Did you see the panel of selectors above? I wouldn’t trust one of those to make an informed footy related decision.Oh AA selection is not a defined statistic? We all learned something today.

Yeah, I missed these steps. Basically told him he can look around if he is so unhappy.Lied to by his club about renegotiating his contract in not only adding on 2 years, but also bumping up his contract. Wce now turned on that, so we have swooped in. He wouldn't have left if they held their end of the agreement. Essentially wce have influenced and played their part in forcing him out and they also shopped him. Now playing thr oh no required player, we don't want him to leave card
Disrespectful club

He talked to Bulldogs, Hawks heard about it and he bought into the vision of Sam and nominated Hawks.
No head hunting here.
Eagles basically pushed him out.
they just used the "misunderstanding" about salary as basis to trigger the push out.
Again, I hope value is already decided as around pick 16-17 but if not hope Hawks start chats with 2 second rounders. I am ok if we end up for 1st round going to Eagles as long as something decent comes back, hope it is F2 but can live with F3 + 59. I am a fair person.
We have a NGA bid to match and pick 59 would help.
Of course you would want to but 12 is already slight overs.We would take both ie. 2 top 20 picks

12 has now become 13 (inflation)Of course you would want to but 12 is already slight overs.

I'll never understand. Fans are OK with players getting shafted by the club and say good on the club. Players shafts club, he is a money grabber.We used to call that 'Getting Shafted'
Read between the lines on what McGovern has said. Wce sold him down the river, what was promised by wce he got at hawthorn. Wce don't want him, if they did they do the agreed handshake and he stays.Hmm, I can't see it in the quoted article?
