Re: Tom Barrass

Hun reporting after Mitchell meeting Hawks now in front of this race?!?!

Edit: but doesn’t mention our monster offer.

Re: Tom Barrass

Shit got serious - fox footy:

?the Western Bulldogs are trying their best to stay in the race with The West reporting they?ve offered Barrass a five-year, $5 million deal.?

Shaysus. If that's true we're set to be active and ruthless this year. CD & Macrae on the move?

Yep, that took me by surprise. I think we might be very active, especially if we get the nod from Barrass.

If you thought Tim wasn't worth that much then this is just ridiculous - over the top

I thought you just trusted Sam Power to take care of things?

I do, I was just having a bit of fun.

In all seriousness, he will be 29 at the start of next year, and 5 years takes him 34 years old on big money and with injury issues throughout his career. Guarantee me a premiership in that time, due to his help - then maybe I take it.

Maybe. I’ll pay Tom Boyd another million on top!

Re: Tom Barrass

That’s crazy money that I assume we do not currently have and I’m building a wall around my heart for what it implies.

It?s nice to have that sort of confidence but sure we are not a team that the footy world totally trusts week in week out. Throwing money around reminds me of a Carlton model and it has its flaws, personally I like to Geelong model that they do not overpay and attract big name players.

Maybe big dollars now pay off for the next 10 years as we transition to a Geelong model with the main selling points more around facilities, opportunities and success than individual money

Geelong offer huge money. Just half is in brown paper bags.

Isn?t that called ?Marketing money?. Imagine if they had a guy that had a huge following on social media, what could they throw at him?

No it’s called coa$tal life$tyle.

Each club has a marketing budget for players outside the cap. Baz will probably get money funneled through a sponsor in common I’d guess.

Barrass is a gun and I’d have him in a heart beat.

I?m warming up very much to Barrass myself now. Even more, after Mitchell flew over to fly the Hawks flag.

It reminds me of the Keith trade a few years ago. Suits our needs and allows time for others to develop and not be under pressure. Lobb standing up has really helped and basically allows one key defender to opted out each year for 3 to 4 years and we won?t miss a beat.

3 to 4 years down the track we won?t have Jones, Doc, Lobb, Keith, Bramble, Daniel, Gardener and JJ. Huge turn over and he could actually be the transitional glue we need

Re: Tom Barrass

Twomey reporting if Barrass goes anywhere it will be the Hawks.

I was all in to try and get Barrass UNTIL Lobb turned into Steve Silvagni, he still would be a great get and really bolster up our back half but given the price tag we could spend more wisely on more of a need, that Port fella Miles Bergman wants back to Melbourne apparently................
