True, was thinking when I posted that "you know what in 5 years someone is going to find this thread and bump that comment calling me a nuffy"
He's looking good at the moment. It's making our 'just take Reids' strategy last year look pretty good :p
 
Barrass is contracted, isn't he? Why should WCE accept unders for him because "it's too much risk for Hawthorn"?
Because the relationship is severed, and he is not going back. They are a willing seller and everybody knows this
Hawks will be generous and give them #13 plus a F3 and the eagles will consider that a win

Hang on?
Severed? How do you know it’s severed?
Tom’s issue is with previous management who aren’t there anymore, not the current people.

Seems like a bunch of hyperbole and aggrandising the situation.
Teams can trade players and still be on good terms?
You do know that right?…please tell me you do?

Well the previous management agreed to what he wanted
Its this management that wont honour the agreement

his issue is with the current management
 
Is it? Do you know that or did you just assume that?
Connect the dots

Club Vice captain contracted
Wants to move after protracted disputes with the club about what was promised to stop him moving
Walks out and clears out his locker
wants to join another club and selects Hawks
Info thats been passed on by McGovern

Can you really see him going back
 
Thought a WC poster might have mentioned Daniels on HBG saying he had a quick chat with someone close to it and all signs are this is going to go the distance. WC adamant they want two firsts, Hawks adamant no.

Paraphrasing a bit but that was the gist of it. I still cant see Hawks possibly doing that but hats off to Clarke if he pulls it off

So you're guessing based on BigFooty?

A bad relationship is actually just extra bargaining power for the club of a contracted player. "If you don't help us get the best pick possible then we'll make you come back". The way his time at WCE ended, don't be surprised if Barrass lands at Richmond for pick 1.

2 firsts is fine as long as we get Eagles 2nd rounder this year coming with Barrass

So you’re saying that everyone who said 2 x firsts was right and that Eagles have zero obligation to take less?
People here on BigFooty might finally learn the difference between CONTRACTED and OUT OF CONTRACT players.

The first one the original club has the leverage and can set the price, the second one the player involved has the power.

No, the trade hasnt been done yet. WC can demand what they want, Hawks can pick a price they dont like. No one is right in September.

Didn’t say trade was done, if you listened to Hawks fans and some “neutrals” in this thread, you would think Eagles were just gonna roll over and accept Pick 13 at maximum. In form Contracted players always cost more.

This one may come to a stalemate come October

I mean I was adamant saying they wont do two firsts, and still think that will be the case but I think 13 and a 2nd will be the deal. It is a massive leap to the extra first, regardless of what comes back because nothing is guaranteed and feels like a price / risk Hawks will dig their heels over. I read most Hawks as thinking pick 13 wont be enough by itself, just varying levels of sweetners.

End of the day 13 and a 2nd is overs for a 29 year old IMO and everyone gets what they want

Most sensible supporters of both teams realise a fair deal will get done, pick 13 and a 2nd should seal the deal.
If it comes to a stalemate then it’s no big deal, he stays at the WCE and the Hawks will move on.
You make it sound like Hawk supporters are the only ones being unrealistic when in fact it’s a 2 way street.
If you listen to some WCE supporters they think Barrass is the 2nd coming of Chris Langford.
