this is the Barras thread - if you want to talk about drafting, previous picks and current state head to the appropriate threads.
A 4 year contract isn't leverage?
They won't be handing the Swans a key missing player for a pick in the teens.
Both clubs are honest traders. They will sort it out.
Eagles will need to pay at least $200k for COLA. They pay more Swans get more cap space to play with elsewhere.
It's subjective, I'm sure there are plenty of people who would say he is worthy of a top 10 pick.
Swans are clearly interested and rightly so, they really need a key defender.
Tom Barrass in form is a big, big problem for the opposition. You'd be much better with him.
Top 10 pick and it is in Eagles favour, which is how the trade should be with a 4 year contract
Now Barrass out for the year with a back fracture, might have played his last game for WCE

Is there a chance a deal has already been ironed out and that's why he is on ice?

WIthout a shadow of a doubt
This had a whole different meaning back in '06...
Hes all those things and more..
Hes nearly 28yo, hes on a highly paid contract and hes very injury prone. Nothing worse than an injured player (you should understand that), except a highly paid injured player that cost truckloads in draft capital and plays a key position.
If he was out of contract would he be worth it? If the Swans finished with the wooden spoon (impossible this year), would the media be saying hes worth a late 1st rounder? Thats the situation Dawson was in 2 years ago and thats what the media was saying he was worth. He went on to finish 2nd in the crows b&f and at the end of his 1st year he became captain. He was 4 years younger and not injury prone.
If Barrass finishes top 5 in the Swans b&f then maybe fair enough. If he misses the finals due to injury then hes not worth sh*t
maybe.. but its pretty hard to play with a fractured back. Im no doctor, but a back fracture seems like a big red flag
He's not that injury prone mate, it's not McGovern you're trading for.
He also has 4 more years left on his contract.
You want to move a reigning club champion key position player, who is also under a long term contract? You pay up.
End of story.

Whinges about Vic bias about a WA team. Checks out
I understand that hes under contract etc and therefore you pay up.. well sometmes.. that wasn't the case with Brodie Grundy who was an All Australian Ruck, nor was it the case of Bowes to Geelong.
But I dont want to move your contracted reigning club champion.. Hes got a fractured back! He also missed a few games earlier in the season with a hip complaint
Not up to me though..
ps. Im not questioning his talent, just his cost especially considering his injury history
All done and dusted. He’ll be checking out the rental market in Sydney’s east this weekend.
Those 2 players you used as examples are irrelevant because they were both salary dumps from their clubs.
WCE aren't shopping Barrass, it's Sydney doing the chasing. Barrass is reportedly happy to stay but also would entertain a move if it benefits WCE.
If the offer is a low-ball, expect him to stay.
Having said that, him suddenly out for the season with a previously unannounced injury would indicate the cue's in the rack so he's in best condition for Sydney's preseason.
let's face it, him playing will make no difference anyway.

Wait isn't it Melbournites that are meant to assume that they are the only city with coffee ?
Guess I'm going for the Bombers this weekend now

Does not fill me with confidence.
That and never having a full season of games in his career and... yeah.

Barrass + 19 for 7 + 26
Unfortunately you pay the price when you chase a player with a 4 year cobtract
Add 22 OR take out 19 (with WC a chunk of the contract) is what I think it'll be but we'll see
Look like it's happening anyway

As a Swans fair I've had a enough of us going to the draft so I'll be happy to get a ready made player in Barrass. Still has plenty left in the tank imo.
