Trade hypotheticals

[GVGjr]

If the choice was Barrass for 2 x first rounders or Jack Payne for a second and our early third, who do you choose?
TBH I'd take Payne and bank the picks. Payne's second half last week was excellent and he's still got upside given his lack of continuity this year.

I haven't looked at Payne closely enough this year but did have a closer look at him the other day based on you recommendation.
I'd certainly be interested in getting him but Brisbane shouldn't let him go.

I'm just a little concerned at paying overs for someone like Barrass when he is more of a game saver than a game winner.
If we could get him for a 1st and 3rd rounder, which is very unlikely, then he would be a great addition. West Coast signed him to a long term deal for very good reasons so an opposition club would need to pay overs though to get him.

Yeah I just think West Coast, having him under LT contract and knowing how tight the market is for KPDs, will ask for a massive trade deal as we did for Dunks. As they are well within their rights to do.
He may even be their next captain.

I think Barrass is probably their only real asset in terms of trade value, age and contract dollars remaining. They’re in a really bad spot and they’d surely to look at clearing off some other guys before him.

Just for laughs and not football ability we really should get Bailey Williams from them.

West Coast will be fine.

It sounds stupid but players like Sheed and Yeo are only 27/28...they'll actually play footy next year and they will improve. I think they understand enough to realise that a player like Barrass is a pillar to build around vs an asset to sell off...

Let's move on from Barrass talk.

I'll let Happy Days lay hands on me at the Yarraville nets if the Eagles trade Barrass to any team.

It'd be equivalent to us trading Naughton. It's just not going to happen.

The day we find out Happy Days is one of those skinny white kids who can actually fight.

Are you saying he's Jake Melksham? Because as surprising as that might be it also wouldn't be.

It really jumps off the page as soon as you see it.

I’ve actually never lost a fight so this could well be true.

Same. That I remember.

Can't lose if you run away.

That's my philosophy anyway.

Nailed it.

I've also never lost a fight, won each of them by at least 5-10 metres
