He’s signed until 2026. If he comes before then they’ll be asking for Marra.

- Sounds like Geelong’s offer is 17 (20+) alone for BS

Good summary.
After our early interest in Barrass and Houston, I'm a little surprised we aren't currently linked to at least one more player from another club but there is plenty of time for that to happen.
Western Bulldogs Football Club "Where it's cool to drool"
The Demons and Bulldogs have both offered their future first-round pick in exchange for Gold Coast's pick 13, while the Swans have put forward picks 19 and 22.

Carlton are offering their F1 and F2. Unless Gold Coast expects us to be crap next year I don't think we are going to win the auction with just our F1.

Yep. The question is is whether they want an F2 or points equal to a Second this year. We can do that easily enough if we want to up our offer.

The Bulldogs are also expected to drive a hard bargain with St Kilda for premiership midfielder Jack Macrae.
A source with knowledge of the negotiations, who would not be named to speak freely, said the Western Bulldogs were prepared to hold Macrae to his contract if the right deal can?t be found.
Macrae was on the fringes of selection in 2024 and ended up starting as a sub in the elimination final after being overlooked for James Harmes, who was playing his first match since round 12.
Macrae is contracted until 2027. An industry source, who preferred to remain anonymous while negotiations were under way, confirmed that the Saints were not keen to hand over pick 46 for the 30-year-old, who has battled for a permanent position in the Bulldogs? midfield in the past two seasons.
Both clubs are expected to use historic examples of trades of contracted veterans to argue their case when it comes to the trade.

Seriously 46 is a straight up fair deal. Do it and move on.

Noble is potentially worth pick 13, but Macrae pick 60 something??
Agree.
However. We damaged Macrae's value during the year. We dropped him. Played him as a sub in the final. So we told the footy world he is surplus to our needs. Why would you play top value for a player who can't make the best 22 of a team that can't get past the first week of the finals?
