More likely than the Aints departing with pick 33 for a fringe player from the 2nd bottom side.

Ross Lyon was also asked the question on SEN a few days after it was report it and he certainly didn't refute it.
When he was picked up Wallace said he would be the icing on the cake type player who would finish off the hard work of the backline and would be delivering the ball into the F50. I also recall at the start when McMahon would run down from the HBF and deliver into the F50 people were suggesting he was the type of player we were missing. Now we're back to being a bottom dweller, he has become the favoured whipping boy of us the fans, partly because of his failure to produce his best footy and secondly because we look at someone like Ward/Selwood from the pick he was traded for and think what might have been.
Just because we hate him, doesn't mean that those responsible for recruiting at other clubs hate him as well. I can see why the Saints would be interested in someone like McMahon, at his best, surrounded by a team that allows him to play his best style of footy he would be a very handy player coming off the HBF/wing delivering into the F50. At the Saints he wouldn't be expected to be one of their leaders, he would be a player who allows someone like Fisher/Gram/Goddard to spend even more time in the midfield. Just because we hate him, doesn't mean his value is as low as we think it is.

Let's hope they want another one. One thing going in our favour though is for years the Saints have lacked leg speed, they've rectified it a little but IMO they still do. Gram, Montagna and Jones are reasonable quick but other than that there's not much else.
I hope that we get something for him after wasting such a high draft pick on him. I would prefer he sits in the reserves otherwise in case we get injuries.I also think that he may improve under Hardwick - after all he possibly hated Wallarses game plan too so keeping him may not be the worst option for us!
