Makes sense. It’s one thing for him to want to get here, but a deal still needs to be struck.I know this view isn’t aligned with actually ITK types and is blind pontification, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we end up struggling to get Barrass in. Our first round pick is due to drop like a stone, after all…

We can look forward to this (in Hawks' colours):
I think it was more about Battle than Barrass. Battle is a Hawthorn player. You can bank that during free agency period this year. Barrass will need to be traded yes. I am fairly confident that the process to get Barrass to commit included the WCE and there will be some squabbling, but a deal will be agreed to by the end.That’s basically what I was saying yesterday, although I put it in slightly more colourful language. He’s a fully contracted player who lives on the other side of the continent. Celebrate when it’s a done deal.

What’s ’living on the other side of the continent’ got to do with anything ?That’s basically what I was saying yesterday, although I put it in slightly more colourful language. He’s a fully contracted player who lives on the other side of the continent. Celebrate when it’s a done deal.
For saying that, I was laughed at, chastised and some massively overzealous mod deleted my post….
Doubt it. The difference between pick 12 (what we currently hold if we lose EF) isn't that far away from the best case scenario of pick 18 in an even draft. Plus everything will slide anyway due to bid matching. It will probably be our first rounder and then a swap of some future picks to balance. Maybe chucking in a late pick from moving on a depth player.I know this view isn’t aligned with actually ITK types and is blind pontification, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we end up struggling to get Barrass in.

No issue with Barrass getting inI know this view isn’t aligned with actually ITK types and is blind pontification, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we end up struggling to get Barrass in. Our first round pick is due to drop like a stone, after all…
The relationship between Sam and the WCE is more than amicable. The meetings would have been completely respectful on both sidesHeh. I can imagine those meetings…
“Look, I’m not saying we’re going to win the GF, I’m just saying IF we won it all and our R1 pick dropped to the floor, then we need to talk about that. What’s it take to get the deal done then?”

Not too far i hope, maybe launching an attack off halfback. Just so long he's not standing a key tall. But he can literally play anywhere.It is going to be very interesting. Adding two talls presumably means removing at least one small. It is definitely going to change the balance.
I agree that Weddle probably moves up field. But the dynamic of the backline changes massively without the rebound of Weddle and one of Impey/Amon.
It will be interesting to see what the Hawks do.
Get him and barrass to wear a wig, play finals this year
The Harry high pants celebration would be fantastic.Has 6 months to work on his goal celebration, when Sammy decides to swing him forward

Certainly doesn’t have the pace issues we had from 2009 onwards. Smith and Hill made all the difference on that frontShades of Brian with Battle incoming and then Barrass in the wings to shore up what's considered an undersized defense.
Sam not waiting around to re-learn lessons from the pre-3peat era.
Wants to rack up his 2008 equivalent flag as coach this year, and then move straight on to 2013 ...

One of my good mates is a Saints fan so I've been to a few of their games. Seems like most people have Josh pegged down as a key back but he has ridiculous running capacity and has proven ability as a forward also, can play anywhere, ruck, mid forward just like Weddle. Stoked to have him on our list and i think he will surprise a few with how good he actually is.
