The Dogs clearly don’t want to lose both Macrae & Daniel unless we receive overs.
Contrary to what people believe, we aren’t shedding salary for the sake of shedding salary. That means we have leverage in our contracted players.
It’s ridiculous how people think we should hand over both contracted and uncontracted players and have nothing on our terms.

It wasn’t for pick 25. It was Daniel & 48 for 25.
25 will become 30 after bids and 48 will come in a fair bit so essentially it’s a 15ish pick upgrade.

Subbed on 7 times and off 1 time. 6 of those 16 games he played less than 30% game time.

For a player clearly not in the best 22 and 28 years old it still seems like a really good deal for the dogs

Someone on our board and they have a good track record said that we had to pay some of the salary
I agree, one would think that could be beneficial.

If that's really true, I can only guess its just a negotiation tactic.
(Maybe we then leaked the story of the offer too to ramp up pressure on Power to play ball? I really dunno)
It just defies logic that our ultimate trade offer for Daniel would be predicated by an unnecessary condition that WB pay some of the salary.

Cal Twomey is reporting Roos are prepared to offer pick 25 alone for Caleb Daniel
You couldn’t possibly play Fisher and Daniel in the same back line, could you? Fisher to play forward?

Yup. Daniel is an upgrade on Fisher as HBF and our small forwards (RHJ and Payne) are both unproven, so I reckon Fisher would slot in forward at the start of 2025 and will hopefully be fighting against competition for his spot by a month or so in.
I thought it was a move that could have been made this year, so I like it. Fisher can find the pill but can’t execute the kicks well enough to really get the Roos going from the back 50. Can find the sticks though, and like you said he provides the up and comers with more competition to get them to work harder for opportunities.

Touched in their 2016
That’s why the trade was rejected, North weren’t taking all his salary in this offer

Imagine if Daniel, Macrae and Smith all nominated Geelong...the mental gymnastics required from their supporters to justify why you should take the unders for the out of contract guy and take further unders for the contracted guys.
