Gov? When he first signed his last long contract he supposedly was, then took a significant paycut during Covid, so that other players could get paid more.

How are West Coast pushing Barrass out?
Well, luckily for him WCE aren't holding him to the 3 years remaining on his contract, it seems.
Players want the security of long-term contracts, then want the ability to jump ship when a rival offers them more money.
Just because Essendon are paying a dumb amount of money to McKay to spud it up, doesn't mean all other KPDs should be on similar coin.
Still, if Hawthorn have made the overtures to Tom, the onus is on them to pony up.
Desperate for additional two first round picks you mean. Who isn’t!
We were talking about desperation. Not what we will get. Don’t have to have two firsts to make it a good trade.
If we can get Collingwood 2nd rounder. Throw that for baker and Richmond give something else back, then all is well.
Bolton can go to freo.
Its hilarious seeing the stuff you write in these threads.
What do you think Rioli is worth in a trade?
Hes certainly not worth more in a trade than Barrass(Barrass is a better player and plays a more in-demand position despite being 18 months older), and theyre both similarly contracted
Do you think I made some outrageous statement or something?
Anymore than 13, we should walk. We don't need him that much especially given the improvement since we started talking to him, his back issues and since we need more class from the draft.
WC can keep a player who doesn't want to be there and delay their rebuild more with Tassie on the horizon.

Yes you did thinking is some strange world Barrass gets the same or more trade than Daniel Rioli
Id love to take your money if you want to back up that statement
I didnt say Barrass gets the same or more in a trade, remember Rioli wants to go to Gold Coast who have no idea what picks are worth.
I said Rioli isnt worth more than Barrass, thats just a common sense statement thats in no way quantifiable so there'd be no way to settle the bet
This is what you posted
"Hes certainly not worth more in a trade than Barrass(Barrass is a better player and plays a more in-demand position despite being 18 months older), and theyre both similarly contracted"
I say he is WORTH MORE IN A TRADE
prove it
Are you daft? I just said youre trading with Gold Coast who have no concept of value of picks. I did not say they will fetch the same priceEasy make the best and we will find out after trade
Come on i dare you
Get onto Sam and tell him he's got NFI then.
Don't bother, same
got told to pull his head in on another thread for trying stupid bet crap.

In the land of footy fans, where opinions run wild,
THE_GUN thinks Tom Barrass is just a bit mild.
He claims in a trade, Rioli's worth more,
But mate, let’s break this down—let’s settle the score!
Tom’s a rock in defence, a wall made of stone,
While Rioli’s quick feet might dance on their own.
But can you compare a KPD defender, so grand,
To a flashy forward come defender, just playing in sand?
“Oh, Rioli can sprint!” THE_GUN starts to shout,
But when the game’s on the line, who do we count?
Barrass takes the marks, a true pillar of might,
While Rioli’s just dodging, hoping someone will bite.
Now, THE_GUN convinced he’s the trade whisperer,
But really, he's just a giant shit stirrer!
“Less value!” he yells, “What a terrible plight!”
Yet here’s the truth—he’s just lost in the fight.
So here’s to the KPD defenders, the unsung, the brave,
Who hold down the fort, their positions to save.
Let’s raise up a cheer for Barrass, curly haired champ,
While THE_GUN stuck here, fapping with cramp!
So next time you trade, dear footy fan friend,
Remember, it’s not just about flashy trends.
For in the great game, it’s skill that’s the sum,
And THE_GUN still wrong—And a giant pain in the bum!

Can you direct me to where it has been said that it was Hawthorn that engaged with Barrass and not Barrass’s manager that sort out Hawthorn!
