Tom Barrass

Problem for Hawks will be when they have to pay up for the younger guys who come out of contract and the money is invested in Barrass/Battle.

I expect they are very front loaded. They can't have too many big contracts they are paying atm.

Yep. Only last year Mitchell was pushing hard to sell their salary cap space for draft picks. Barrass & Battle will be good gets for them, unfortunately.

To me it's a genuine false dawn with the Hawks but nobody in the media will talk about it.

Their last ten games versus ours have been soft in terms of who they've played. They've lost to all of the hard teams, and while we've done the same in Adelaide it couldn't be more divided between the two outside of that.

We'll do them by fifty points.

Yeah, we've been the cool young team before and the good vibes have a shelf life.

Watch them smash us by 70 points on the way to a flag!

I think both Barass and Battle are good player, but I think hawthorn have been able to play out of their skin this year as they are fast and unconventional. Going to more a traditional set up next season may not net them wins if they become more predictable.

The only 'good' team they've pushed in the past 10 weeks is GWS.
We should be confident

They did beat Freo when they were in the top 4. And Collingwood who were 6th. But they?ve also had some very easy kills over the last 3 weeks, including Carlton who were completely cooked by injury.

That was my initial feeling, and remains so. Was just mucking around.

Nets.

I'd be too much of an easy kill, josie.

WCE:

Two first rounders or no trade.

Fair.enough. They don't have to trade him.

Considering right now we have 1 future first I wouldn't be surprised if that's part of why he chose the Hawks. Aside from all the other reasons he might have.

[bornadog]

They should stick to their guns

Its going to be fascinating to watch how it plays out with Barrass in terms of what the Hawks pay
