Trade Rumours 2024

[bulldogtragic]

That’s what I was thinking too. In what world is 43 considered a second round pick?

The salary factor is a compelling one. I’m sure it helps us with any recruitment we have in the pipeline along with a few top tier players coming out of contract in 2025 (from what information I can gather on contracts).

Weird Jack wants to go to Saints but I guess they’re offering him midfield starting time and probably not many others are.

Non sensical ‘reporting’…

Realistically, the Saints should just do 43 and make this the first trade. If they want him and have got him to nominate and the salary doesn’t bother them, then pick 43 (46+ after compo added in) is a bargain for them. It’s a natural last half of the third round pick.

And what bargain is the contracted Macrae and his management going to drive against us?

[GVGjr]

Won’t offer Pick 43.
Will offer 3rd (or 4th) round pick.

Pick 43 (Pick 46 after at least 3 compo picks for Battle, Cumming & Perryman added) IS a third round pick.

What? Make it make sense.

If Ralph has it anyway right in terms of the Saints being prepared to take on Macraes full salary then that will give us a lot of scope going forward.

Ralph says they won’t offer Pick 43 - a third rounder.

Then says they will offer a third or fourth rounder.

Which is it? They aren’t offering a third, or they are offering a third. It’s literally the opposite reporting in two paragraphs?

Maybe a worse 3rd rounder from other trades but not 43

Perhaps, then the reporting should be Silvagni is a ****ing idiot. Gets Macrae to request a trade but won’t trade 43 but will trade 49? Kind of ridiculous if that’s the line from SOS.

I think they call that 'old news'

Touch?.

If Silvagni wants to be the new Dodoro then so be it. I honestly thought this was one of the easiest trades to complete for all the parties at 43 (likely 46).

Took a long time to do Coffield and probably only really worked because we were also accounting for points and picks after points. Was Coffield 52 and 56 for 40

And the F4 with Dow involved I think it was. It sounds like he wants to drag it out… so be it. It’ll get done, but sometimes you have to wonder why this posturing is played out in negotiations or the media.

St Kilda being by far the worst team at the trade table for over a decade only to bring in Steve Silvagni as a list manager is the type of unintentional comedy that you wouldn’t believe if it was scripted.
