Strategy Trade and List Management Thread Part 7 (opposition supporters - READ posting rules before posting)

He’s a 30 year old that didn’t finish Top 20 in our BnF. I can fully understand why they wouldn’t want to pay more than Pick 43

They don't want to use 43. That is the point.

 

[Doggy]

Saints just got pick 8 for ****ing Battle.

If they won't part with a pick in the 40s for Macrae, **** them

 

[yebach]

Yeah... who we also need with all that we seem to be losing.

And the club has said they're not letting him go for scraps.

We aren't asking for a pick in the 20s here ... jesus, it's a pick in the 40s.

Saints are being w***ers

The Saints are my No1 wan*er club. They've always been an arrogant wan*er club.

But Jacko deserves some respect from us for what he's delivered over the years.
He'd be a walk up start in just about every other teams starting midfield. But we've effectively chosen Harmes ahead of him. And Harmes would be lucky to get a game in North's starting midfield.

So much wrong with this post.

So I'll just say this... not offering at least pick 43 is an insult to Macrae from the Saints.

He will clearly be their best midfielder immediately and acting like we should be a charity all the time is part of the problem.

You can't be letting quality senior players go for trash and hope not to go backwards.

If you didn't notice, we have 2 midfielders one injury or concussion away from retirement who are in their 30s and older than Macrae..

Again, saints can **** off

I'm not sure you're reading the tone of my posts as they are intended.
I rate Macrae! I rate him higher than Libba. But our esteemed coach doesn't share my opinion.
All I'm saying is the club should look after Jacko.

I am. But at the same time less than 43 is an insult to EVERYONE

 

[Dogs Rule]

Look at the Saints list management team. That'll give you all the answers you need.

Looked at how they bitched and moaned the other day leading up to the free agency window. They knew what they were doing..

Slimey

 

[Bulldogs85]

We give up pick 40 last year for Coffiled so yes the saints can do us a favour and give us pick 43 for Macare

That’s not true. We got Coffield for two minor pick downgrades.

It was embarrassing by them

Yeah but it sounds like they aren't even willing to pay that. Surely 43 is a no brainer.

If the saints offered pick 43 which is now pick 45 after yesterday the trade will get done on the Monday

Jack deserves to be looked after which is true. Seriously though if the Aints won't cough up 43 then heck EM it's a 3rd round pick, Macrae is probably worth more but for years of great service we would take it to get him where he wants to go.

Anything less than 43 is the Aints trying to take the P1ss and we hang onto him. Saints convinced him to ask for a trade so it's on them to get a deal done.

 

[grassman75]

Best cast scenario is they trade up for us.

Which is what the arseholes should do

 

[grassman75]

Or alternatively he could be important if we have injuries in the midfield
Or his could arrest his decline as a player and find something that made him the All-Australian in the first place
Or he still could offer some value if in a slight out of position play (like this year 12 games with 19 touches this year) when selected, which is clearly a likely chance.

He wasn't some dud player that we had to sign and give games to because we were a dud team. He was still a good player that good teams, like we were, often have more then 22/23 good fit players.

Maybe he will play for unders like everyone at Geelong does

 

[grassman75]

Or we play Harmes in the guts and Jacko in the VFL.

I think that’s why Jacko is looking elsewhere

Speaking of wainkers

Harmes is training with Bont this pre season
Lock in midfield role

 

[roos 10]

Just wondering what you guys think Daniel will do stay or move on

 

[House_of_Dahl]

Now the Saints have band 1 compo for Battle I think they'll give 43 for Macrae

 

[House_of_Dahl]

Just wondering what you guys think Daniel will do stay or move on

Pains me to say it but think it's best for everyone if he moves

Better for Daniel as he'll play consistent AFL games.

Better for us as we aren't paying for someone we aren't playing.

Better for you guys as he'll bring experience and ball use out of your back half.

 

[VitalDread]

For his career
Moving to North is the best option

Would slot into your back 6 this allows Sheezel and others to shift into midfield roles with someone with elite kicking covering them

 

[Scotch N Coke Monatore]

Just wondering what you guys think Daniel will do stay or move on

I would prefer he stays but I think it will be a case of a change is as good as a holiday. He was back in form for the last few games of 2024.

Good. Because we can’t keep moving depth mids to half forward.
