Not reneging at all. If the eagles ask for too much that’s just the way it goes.
If we put forward a more than reasonable offer that’s all we can do. If Eagles decide to hold him he can direct his anger at them.
Its not that we want him to leave at all its he is getting a 5 year offer and we won't match it .Eagles allowing a contracted player to explore the market means that WCE do not really want to keep him. Trading Barrass is their preference.
A 4 year contract is a not all that large by today's standards. Hawks F1 on the table currently. Barrass is valued around 16-20 by the Hawks. Trading will be based around that.
Its pick 13 and will probably be pick 15 or 16Pick 12 should be all the hawks pay here.
Yes they’ve committed to Barrass but they’d be getting fleeced paying any more
I don't really think it's as simple as Hawks chasing a contracted player. Trying to be as level headed as possible, I think the situation is more both WC and Barrass had a discussion about it last year, WC said no, but we'll look at your contract or trading you again next year.“More than reasonable”
A late first rounder and change for a contracted key position player you offered 5 years on good money.
Who is that reasonable for? Lol
You guys are not getting 2 firsts here, I don't know why a lot of you, who are generally reasonable, think you are. Like, this is going to be amicable and not as hard as to do as you are all making out.Its pick 13 and will probably be pick 15 or 16
Its clearly not enough not even close .
West coast have already said they want 2 first rounders .
What goes back with barrass is another story

https://7news.com.au/sport/afl/sam-...st-coast-star-tom-barrass-exposed--c-15528570It would be really bad of Hawks to whisper and chase a contracted player, and then back out. I doubt the Hawks recruiting team would do that. They will pay what they need to.
its equally as bad for the Eagles to openly allow those whispers to be said.It would be really bad of Hawks to whisper and chase a contracted player, and then back out. I doubt the Hawks recruiting team would do that. They will pay what they need to.
Its a four year offer with a trigger for a fifth! And you dont have to match anything as he is contracted for another 3 years!Its not that we want him to leave at all its he is getting a 5 year offer and we won't match it .
We would be happy to keep him .
Yeo said on the radio the other day all the boys want him to stay .
He is contracted but if we get an offer heavily in our favour we would let him leave .
This whole myth that we need young players isn't really true .
We have been bringing in young players for 4 seasons now . Half our list is under 23 .
Its the 24- 28 year bracket we are short on especially after we delist some mid age spuds this off season
He’s going to be 29 before a ball is bounced next year. That’s more than a reasonable price for him.“More than reasonable”

Itll be pick 13 when it gets traded and you wont have access to any of the academies kids anyway so its irrelevant where it ends up.Its pick 13 and will probably be pick 15 or 16

Nisbett is a piece of garbage. Not a surprise here. Not sure id read anything more then that. Pyke/Clarke are doing the right thing moreso. I got no doubt Nisbett offered Barrass 1 mill a year or something stupid and Pyke/Clarke just making the common sense decision afterwardshttps://7news.com.au/sport/afl/sam-...st-coast-star-tom-barrass-exposed--c-15528570
This article sheds some light on what is really poor here; with Barrass having a handshake agreement with the previous CEO Trevor Nisbett and list manager Rohan O'Brien that his contract would be renegotiated after turning down overtures from the swans and the bulldogs last off-season.
This informal agreement is now not being honoured by Don Pyke and Matthew Clarke who seem content to use Barrass as an asset to bring in trade picks.
Its loser talk like this that sees Sydney/GWS/Brisbane climbing up the ladder while the rest sit on our hands not giving a stuff. In 3 years when its Sydney vs GWS and Brisbane vs Gold Coast facing off in the prelims, alot of people are going to look sillyItll be pick 13 when it gets traded and you wont have access to any of the academies kids anyway so its irrelevant where it ends up.

????? what do you mean loser talk? tell me what the hell can you do about it? whoever is in there academies they get 1st dibs on them so it makes sliding down the draft order irrelevant. If a team had a top 10 pick and there was say 2 academy kids rated in that top 10, there would be 10 names on that list not including the academy kids as they know they wouldnt get them, they may still bid but they wouldnt get them.Its loser talk like this that sees Sydney/GWS/Brisbane climbing up the ladder while the rest sit on our hands not giving a stuff.

Its not irrelevant at all.... Pretending like it is to suit your argument is easily seen through is all????? what do you mean loser talk? tell me what the hell can you do about it? whoever is in there academies they get 1st dibs on them so it makes sliding down the draft order irrelevant.

Not a flog but thinks he is smarter than everyone elseBarrass seems like a bit of a flog to me.
Would be interested to hear West Coast supporters perspective
Couldnt Scicily spend more time forward when you bring in Barrass and Battle. Worpel could be the Gunston replacement too.Marking forward yes we don’t need more class in the midfield we have Day and Mackenzie who didn’t play.

If the media think an out of contract Baker is worth a late first rounder then barrass is worth WAY more than pick 13 .Hawks would be fleeced if they pay any more than 13
