Speculation Jackson Macrae [UFA 2027]

[Doggy]

You do realise that you don't get to determine the trade, right?

Neither does Saints Bigfooty.

Sam Power does though

Never said the Saints board did.

You can declare a certain pick will need to be used all you want but reality says it will be less than what you personally want and more than what Saints supporters want it to be.

No kidding.

Noone realistically thinks pick 24 is it.

But it's not the less than 46 saints supporters want either.

It will be more than pick 46

It will be 46 with a nothing pick coming back to us

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

If he was being pushed out, Dees, Geelong and North have all offered picks better than 43 for him.

Saints are desperate for him and came to him.

No one is desperate for a 2024 Jack Macrae.

Most saints supporters seem to agree that pick 46 is more than fair, I haven't seen too many posts suggesting it should be less.

 

[EconomicDecline]

Saints board going off with an impressive melt. But the best and fairest speech whinge prior to free agency and how Battle was treated is a-ok.

Where's this melt? Can you link it? Wasn't able to find it on the Saints board.

The team with the worst midfield in the Comp might be…

Two posts directly above yours as an example

Two posts directly above yours as an example

As I said, the majority of fans are more than happy to hand over 46, finding a post here and there on bigfooty does not prove otherwise.

I've seen Dogs fans suggest that it's should be a second rounder, does not mean that's the general consensus.

And the post two above mine also says pick 46 so I'm not sure what that is meant to prove.

No it doesn't.

Did you miss the part where it requires "something going back"?

 

[bird_man]

No it doesn't.

Dude, if you are going to use quotation marks please use the correct quote which was "a nothing pick coming back".

Surely you aren't really going to get worked up over a poster suggesting we might get a late pick back that neither team will likely use anyway other than possibly a small amount of points towards an academy pick if their lucky?

Doesn't seek like the poster is too far off thinking 46 is fair value.

The point is, the club has been staunch that 46 isn't going to cut it.

Saints can hold out all they want. We only really want to trade one of Daniel or Macrae so Caleb can go to North instead.

We are still at the very start if the trade period. Both clubs would be posturing and beating their chest as clubs do every year.

Will it be a straight swap for 46? Probably not, but it's not going to be far off I wouldn't imagine.

Macrae won't be at the Dogs next year though.

Based on .... your expert list manager knowledge i guess.

If Caleb is going to Net a bigger return why wouldn't we just trade him to a club who isnt piss farting around

Because, as much as bigfooty fans like to think you can just trade players to the highest bidder every year, it doesn't work like that.


Macrae wants to play for St Kilda. He is on a good contract as a 30 year old and spent the year on the fringes of the best 22. Dogs aren't going hold him to his contract if they don't get a high draft pick for him and St Kilda aren't going to give up a high draft pick for him.

Again ... they're going to likely keep one of Caleb or Macrae ... that has been said from the beginning.

If North are offering a far better pick (which they reportedly are) then we might keep Macrae instead. One is likely to stay no matter how much you want to play list manager.

Macrae won't be at the Dogs next year though.

I’d argue there is a strong chance he will be if saints think pick 46 alone will get the trade done.

Again... we are at the very start of the trade period. What a list manager says on day 3 and what happens at the end is not always the same thing.

I've not said it will be pick 46 alone, but I don't think it's far off the mark.

What are you suggesting needs to be added to that pick to get the deal done?

 

[Bulldogs85]

Don’t think Macrae will have a say in the matter if the trade doesn’t get done he is contracted until 2027

The fact he's contracted that long on decent coin while on the fringe of the best 22 is exactly why a trade will get done

Well there is also the chance of a multi club trade.

Its probably going to be one of the last trades completed after dogs and saints know what they have.

Ok MR. List Manager when do we expect the deal to get done he also played 19 games but yea he is definitely a fringe player

24 & 43 for 32 and Macrae.

It’s the perfect deal.
