Jack Macrae

Re: Jack Macrae

In terms of salary cap space we would want to trade him if he is not getting enough games.

This. We ain’t getting overs. Best case from the Aints is maybe their pick 43 and best case a swap of F4’s. It’s about all about the cap. In terms of the role he now plays, his salary costs just way too much for the output. Clearly the club isn’t going to change its mind about his role. So it just it what it is.

What if we had his contract front end loaded and he is currently on peanuts.

Highly unlikely. He's only 2 years into a 5 year deal and the HUN list has him on $650-$750K this season.

I think people are a little confused on this. I saw on socials some really poor takes and saying around 43 is not enough or a 3rd round is not close. Yes it is. Those that are open to moving him remember we'll be virtually giving him away. He's worth a lot to us but not worth much at all in the open market.

Terrible management locking him away for 5. Outrageous the club should be getting more heat. We're basically doing an Adam Treloar type scenario. Shithouse.

Yep. It’s closer to a salary dump trade than not. Look at the value of those. Their Pick 43 without researching the shit out of them all seems about what I expect from studying trades.

It's easy to say in hindsight but he signed that deal off the back of his 2021 which was excellent. I looked back at the contract thread out of interest and there was not a single negative comment about Jack's re-signing at the time, everyone was rapt.

It is shithouse but not the same. Worst comes to worst we can keep Jack. Collingwood did not have that luxury, it was an absolute mess.

Further to that. Say we take 43.

43 & our 44 = Pick 22 in Draft Points

With plenty of clubs with options ahead of this there’s an opportunity to then trade up the order, not to 22, but say maybe 30 if we decide to do that with the back to back picks.

It’s not necessarily just the pick, it’s what we can turn it into. That might get lost on social media as opposed to Jack being worth what he was 3 years ago.

We might even have to contribute 150K a season to the club that chases him.

That makes sense, although does that happen when the player requests the trade?

I assume that he would only do that because there's been an offer?

Either way it's gonna cost us a shit ton of money for nothing.

Re: Jack Macrae

Jack has been such a great player for us. Will be forever revered at our club.

I enjoyed seeing something of his personality in the media when vice-captain.

Important for us to balance and renew our list to reflect changes in the game and in our approach though.

Go well Jack!

It depends on the pick involved in the trade. We wouldn't contribute a cent if it was for a latish pick ie a salary cap dump but we might if we got a more favorable selection.
