Nicknames either “M”barrass or “Major” Tom

Not sure about either - no-one wants and M'barrassing player. Major Tom is perhaps even worse. In his first appearance he is lost in space - which is the last thing you want in a full-back. In his second appearance, it is revealed that Major Tom was only figuratively lost in space and was in fact a junkie.

No surprises he said he wants to play with Frosty who is also a more quiet, thoughtful bloke.

Until of course, he he steps across that white line… hopefully he influences Barrass on that front. Tom already has the same intellectual intensity. Might only require a shove!

Buddy system’s working perfectly in the backline, Impey/Amon, Scrimmers/Battle and now Frosty/Barass.

The Barrassa Valley. Possibly a better name for the backline as opposed to his actual nickname. Could always go for an ironic nickname like TOB.

Not much to write home about there it’s just TB. Did an interview a few years ago where he said the boys called him the chaperone but haven’t heard any of the boys call him that since.

Cheers for the well wishes. Matthew Clarke has totally f**ked our draft this year so not much to look forward to there. Barrass trade only got done after he was told to leave the room. Hopefully we can jag Xavier Lindsay with pick 12. Saw a wide variety of opinions from Hawks fans on the Barrass trade, but I think after half a dozen games of watching him closely the vast majority will be very comfortable with the deal in the end. Absolute gun and would have had a lot more recognition if he played for a decent Victorian team.

Any idea of why Clarke didn’t accept the first offer of pick 14 that was on the table with I think a late pick to come back?

The idea of the 2 x 1st rounders whether it was the club or the media that floated it I feel put pressure to play hard ball and deliver something that most knew was unreasonable.

Have to think that if the original deal was done then then the Baker deal could’ve been done for something more reasonable but what’s done is done.
