Tom Barrass has officially been traded to Hawthorn after a deal was agreed upon with less than 20 minutes to go in a tense end to this year’s trade period.
West Coast will receive a future first, future second and future third-round pick, in exchange for Barrass and a future fourth-round selection.
It is not yet clear if the future first and future second picks are attached to Hawthorn or Carlton’s finishing position in 2025.
Barrass, 29, departs the Eagles after 150 games in 11 seasons, having been drafted with pick No.43 in 2013.
A John Worsfold medallist in 2022, Barrass was a key part of the Eagles’ backline that claimed the 2018 premiership and departs the club despite having three years still to run on a deal.
It comes after a tense negotiations between the two clubs, with the Eagles wanting two first-round picks for the star defender.
Barrass is believed to have joined the Hawks on a four-year deal with the option of a fifth, having been contracted until the end of 2027 at the Eagles.
Hawthorn threw the negotiations into chaos when they traded out pick No.14 — which was set to be the focal point of the Barrass deal — to Carlton for a future first and future second round pick to Carlton.
