They did win a flag last last year teams don't drop off that much normally. I think they will bounce back next year.

It's hard with the Pies as they've had a team that's been up near the mark (barring one anomalous disaster of a year) since 2018 - so their list profile is a lot older than those that have won their first flag as a group than general.
I do think if they get Macrae it provides a bit of respite for Nick, as he can play more like Sam Walsh and receive the ball more rather than having to win it himself which compromises any players disposal. Macrae, JDG, Mitchell and Daicos is a very good combination regardless of Mitchell's age.
If they add Stringer too, then it becomes even more dangerous of a side. Probably could have one more tilt at it if they add two talented veterans who have a year or two left of peak footy left.
I reckon every club should be vying for Macrae, if you are at the bottom you get a blue chip mid with at least a year of top end football left in him who has come from a successful culture and provides leadership and mentorship. If you're a contender I don't see how he wouldn't improve your midfield mix (even if he's your first rotation - that's a pretty handy first rotation)

Saints only 2nd rounder is 24, which frankly would be a great result.

I think we would want to use that pick. A future second I could accept, begrudgingly. We have the ability to pay his entire contract, and I know it's not cumbersome to the Dogs TPP, but it is the smart play if other younger players are going to be prioritised in the Seniors over him.
In the end, it will depend on how facilitative the Dogs are given he is contracted, but I'd be hoping for a straight third rounder.
If we traded that pick in this awesome draft for a 30yo I think the members would tear the place down.

Macrae doesn’t want to go to St Kilda.
Between Collingwood and Geelong.

St Kilda wont give up #24 for Macrae
They can trade it for 2 later picks and give the later pick
41 & 57 from Richmond
Keep 41 and give 57 to doggies (57 will come into the 40's)

Why would Saints give up pick 24 they can keep it they do have pick 43 so they can use that for the Macrae trade
Also worth noting that this years draft is said to go extremely deep compared to recent years. And this is directly from the mouth of guys like Kinnear Beatson. Someone like Twomey said that picks in the 40’s could be like picks in the 20’s or 30’s have been in recent drafts.

Gabelich was just on SEN saying Macrae wants to stay in Melbourne (so Geelong isn’t an option). Said St Kilda and North are making a play for him.

did geelong actually get named by gabelich?because i think many would just lump it in as melbourne when spoken in that context anyway
He Said Geelong is a no. Macraes Mrs runs a business in Malvern travel has been ruled out
I'd love the bloke.
But I doubt he chooses us

You’d think the fact Dalrymple is at St Kilda now wouldn’t do their chances any harm. Given he was the guy who drafted him in the first place.

With your list how on earth are you so unsuccessful relative to the talent you have.
It seems like the Dogs have a surplus of talent on every line. What a waste.
We have no wings no small forwards and outside of a 33 year old no small defenders lots of mids and tall forwards

Its the terms/ years isn't it
Plays like a pseudo tall most of his goals are from marks not crumbingCody Weightman isn’t a good small forward?? We will take him
I wouldn’t have a clue just going by what the media have said that it’s not a Salary cup issue
