Speculation Tom Barrass [UFA 2027]

[THE_GUN]

The info has been reported by the media. If memory serves me correctly Barrass manager spoke about it.

But But But

They refuse to believe that

How does the manager even know this

 

[THE_GUN]

Try that in another other field and see what the response is

"Hey new boss, my old boss said they'd double my income, plz honour it"

"Here's a $5k payrise"

"**** youuuuuuuuuU!!!!!!"

Ohh well looks like the eagles are not an honorable boss
they renege of their word

Do you always hold the wrong people to the promises of others?

 

[TY24]

The argument being pushed that the Eagles have somehow reneged on a deal is frankly stupid and only being pushed by idiots to somehow try and win some internet points.

Misinformation in this thread? Never.

 

[kerrazy]

What's with the tiggers supporter? Has beef? Or just the village/thread idiot?

What did we exactly regen on? Because it’s been said, and yet no one knows what that is. It’s already been said a number of times he was offered new terms.

Nowhere has it been written that we will pay the number barrass says and that’s it.

At end of day regen or not, he can’t leave without our permission. Thats all that matters here.

Mate seriously you really expecting a transcript of the conversation

He made an agreement against his managers advice because he trusted the people running the club and he got shafted
plain and simple

If you want evidence, then maybe request it from his manager

 

[CobberRodgers]

lol he almost left but Sydney didn’t have capital or salary? So he didn’t almost leave at all.

He is under contract and has no mechanism to leave on his own.

Two firsts is fair price for unsettling a player at another club, whom you are offering a long term deal near $1m per year.

It’s pretty simple. It will be west coast’s fair price. Not hawks fair price. You think port will get fair price for Houston that is determined by destination club?

Imagine Sicily leaving whilst in contract and fair price being determined by destination club. Imagine that!

Hawthorn don’t need the picks and Sicily doesn’t want to/need to leave a contending team.

These two things, despite Eagles fans not wanting to believe it, are factors.

Why are you arguing over giving up two firsts if you don't need the picks?

 

[CobberRodgers]

Why are you arguing over giving up two firsts if you don't need the picks?

I’m not arguing over anything, I’m purely pointing out the situation.

And I’m clearly not talking about our picks that we already have. These picks would be extra picks, if we were in the Eagles situation. But we are not.

We’ve been in your situation. And we’ve had to negotiate from that position.

Apparently we need the picks….and therefore have to accept low picks….

Hmmm that makes sense.

You know how this will work, if hawthorn don’t pony up, other melb clubs will be all over it, throwing everything in. Barrass will then either have to go back or go elsewhere.

At end of day, let’s not forget what this is about for barrass…$$$$$ and not anything about wanting to go to hawthorn.

It was Sydney, then dogs, then hawks…by end of trade week, could be anyone.

How did he get shafted? What agreement did they not make.

It’s already been said an offer was made. He wanted more. We didn’t agree to pay him exactly what he wants.

Is that difficult to comprehend? Knock knock, anyone home?

How did he get shafted ? seriously you must be living under a rock whilst spending your life reading this thread
Do we really need to explain how he got shafted

Already said an offer was made ? Yeah but not the offer that was agreed to by the previous bosses which promised him he would get what they agreed to then and he signed trusting their word

Yeah Knock Knock mate
get your head out of the sane your club SHAFTED him and they want him traded for the pick and its not even about the 100k a year or the extra year they want the pick - Its simple

Hey KNOCK !!! KNOCK

Eagles don’t need to accept anything they don’t want to.

Your list management team will do what it thinks is best.

But with Tassie coming in, and 1 decent player under 25 on your list, you might just be a little more desperate than normal.

 

[RCAB]

Not really.

One thing people fail to understand is that everyone is replaceable. There might be some short term pain but ultimately, you won't be missed all that much by your organisation.

Also, most companies don't employ people on set like contracts in the AFL. If they do, they get pretty shitty when employees try to break them.

Contract work is a 2-way street, something handwringers like you in this thread are choosing to ignore

Good that you've established that he's replaceable, Barrass only worth a second round pick

Hey KNOCK !!! KNOCK

It's the art of contract negotiation to promise the world and sign for the minimum. I cant believe his management let him sign on a wink and a nod. If it was an actual witnessed verbal agreement, it would count as a contract, and WCE could be sued for reneging on it- obviously it wasn't. Everyone at WCE loves Barrass but he has always had the dreamy eyes of an idealist, it was always going to end this way. Goodluck TB

Just because you dont know their names doesnt mean they dont exist

We won't be desperate, Barrass might have to stay if the trade doesn't go through .
Many supporters want him to stay , Eagles have a different set up in list management and Barrass is a quality KPP .

Tasmania isn’t coming for next 3 drafts. Thats 25-30 players with or without barrass.

Oh 1 decent player hey? That shows how little you know of the team. I count at least 6 with one generational player. Which is one more than you have!

So previous admin offered him certain dollars and somehow pulled the offer and new admin came in, pulled it and replaced it with something lower? Facts are you don’t know what offer was made and what promises were made.

Nowhere has it been written like that. That is your interpretation of events.

So knock knock. Hello who is there? Hawk. Hawk who? Two first rounders or hawk off.

I know but I am bored.

 

[Hawks_Footy]

West Coast supporters obviously don't understand what the list management team are doing.. Barrass is contracted for 3 more years...... SO.... if they want to keep him (like Melbourne do with Petracca) he stays.... BUT west coast have decided they want the early pick instead so he's going and the hawks will pony up pick 13 + change

You’re not picking 25 above average AFL level talents in the draft in 3 years without making moves at a minimum or at least starting to getting desperate.

I don’t see 6 at all. But you know your team better than me.

Are you sure it’s our first draft round pick? Nothing conclusive but rumour has it Eagles were super keen on Josh Ward.

I have no inside info, it’s just rumour. How ever it does make me wonder if it’s maybe two players.
