    Agree with this. I think they're a nice pairing - Barrass the deep, stay-at-home defender playing the Liam Jones role and Battle taking the second tall, able to zone off and be used on rebound. It means Sicily can play as a genuine interceptor and Frost becomes depth.

      Barrass is a jet, but I'm very uncomfortable giving up that much draft collateral and that big of a contract for a 29-year-old with some question marks on his body, especially when we're starting to see it be the making of Lobb.
      Agree 29 sketchy body never played a full season.
      3 years max or a pro rata deal with lower bucks.
      Honestly I look at that Hawks list and their tall department is seriously lacking, they'd be way more desperate.

      All they have is Frost!

      I expect them to come back to earth soon.

      So good luck to him over at the midget Hawks without McGovern covering his arse.

        Honestly the only player we should be targeting year in and year out is Hayden Young.

        Will cost an absolute bomb in cash and draft capital but my days he will be worth it.

        Not out of contract until 2027 as an RFA
        More of an In Bruges guy?

          Would be a dream but Freo are never letting him go. Mac Andrew is the one I froth over. I?d sell the farm for him.

              As elite a ball winner as he is, there's a bit of the Taranto vibes about Tom Green. Not an amazing ball user and doesn't regularly hit the scoreboard as much as other elite mids (although he did late on the weekend to disprove my point!)

              For the price to get him, there are better midfield options IMO - agree with earlier posts that Hayden Young is absolutely top of that list.

                Twomey mentioned that we and about 5 other clubs are into Cam Rayner who is a RFA at the end of the year.
                I think he stays but will use the market to push his price up.

                  End of next year. English and Danger are the only 2 RFAs left this year.

                  BTW Ed Richards is a RFA next year, need to get him signed up early.

                    Give him the Hurley money. Or should it be the Barrass money now?

                        Hard to see him moving for footy reasons given the strength of the Brisbane list and the opportunities that provides but perhaps we are an outside chance. Shows we've got a but of money to splash about.

                          He's a westie. Went to school with my nephew in Taylors Hill or Sydenham somewhere around there. Definitely a jets product.

                            He's from Hillside and unfortunately raised an Essendon supporter.

                              I'd much rather give Ed a monster contact over everyone else mentioned as a "gettable" target
