Speculation Tom Barrass [UFA 2027]

[Celebrity 101]

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

 

[The 747]

I would've thought that if you make the squad, that's your quality.

So if you kick a point you are a proven goal kicker?

How is AA selection comparable to a defined statistic

So overrated.

 

[Iceman!]

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"

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.

What are the reasons Barrass wants out?

’ 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

Oh AA selection is not a defined statistic? We all learned something today.

 

[stallon]

How would that trade work? What's in it for Richmond?

Richmond might have too many picks, they might want to spread out their talent a bit and move 1-2 first rounders into next year

 

[hawkinoz]

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 2025
also picks 29, 39, 41, 47, 57, 66 could be used for points to other teams and could get picks in 25 for that also

Richmond will be looking to use 6/7 picks in 2024

Did you see the panel of selectors above? I wouldn’t trust one of those to make an informed footy related decision.

Crazy how we bag out these people all year but when they make calls on awards we just take it as gospel

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

Yeah, I missed these steps. Basically told him he can look around if he is so unhappy.

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.

[Rob R]

We would take both ie. 2 top 20 picks

Of course you would want to but 12 is already slight overs.

Another case of a player signing a long term deal but wanting the rewards of signing a short term deal.

12 has now become 13 (inflation)
by the time that pick is taken could be 18

Hmm, I can't see it in the quoted article?

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.

Wce fc are doing both, shafted barrass on a handshake agreement and playing victim and fans being ohhhhh he wants the money no loyalty but we want the world.

Very confused club and fan base

Can't wait for reid to leave

 

[Since 2001]

Hmm, I can't see it in the quoted article?

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.

It's that simple.
