St Kilda is a good trade partner for us, they have the lower pick

The brow raising in question:In an eyebrow-raising development, Port Adelaide ruckman Ivan Soldo could be on his way out of Alberton just one year after his arrival. Herald Sun journalist Jon Ralph reports Soldo is ‘keen’ to make his way to St Kilda in October, despite being contracted at Port through next season.

A 25 year old with 9 games under his belt? Two of those games were as a substitute. No thanks.
24 & 43 for Soldo 36St Kilda’s pick 24 would be nice, even if we have to give a little back.
Get some picks and go to the draftWhat if he's better than Narkle and Evans

yep, refused to call him Daddy.Am I thinking of someone else but was there rumours of Brad not particularly getting along with Ken?
Is retained or isn’t?As of about 2-3 weeks ago, he was flat out told (in simple terms) that they couldn't guarantee he'll be there next year. He personally believes if Hinkley isn't retained he will be gone.
If we trade Soldo to the aints can we look forward after he plays 1 or 2 decent games for them to his sister calling out in the rooms after the game `What do you think now (Richmond) Port?' before he injures his knee again ends up in their magoos, and then disappears from sight?![]()
I assume the plan would be Marshall forward with soldo as ruck
Good luck to him
Richards was always a long shot where he used us to get a better offer from the Pies.Ummm…he’s far better than both of these soon to be delisted players.
However, it sounds like Perryman & Richard’s are both getting cold feet. You can’t blame them, I’d be doing the same thing if I was in their shoes.
I'd be a bit disappointed if we didn't land Richards just because he fills a big need - if he isn't a star.
Couldn't really care less about Cumming, he's not a need. Perryman is a good player, but wouldn't lose sleep over not getting him. Luko I'd only be a bit bummed about not landing if Marshall retires. So yeah, not so fussed about the player we have been linked with so far.
We desperately need a tall forward who is remotely capable of taking a contested mark, and I'd also like to see us pursue some KPD depth, even a Lewis Young just as someone you could have confidence of doing at least an ok job if AA or BZT go down with injury.
Loldo
Not happy about losing number 1 ruck spot at Port but wants to go to St Kilda where he will be behind one of the best ruckman in the comp in Marshall.
24 & 43 for Soldo 36
Pies have offered Boak a Dev coach position (if he retires)I don't think he would end up coming back. I can see him taking a part-time development role somewhere in Vic, while playing at least a season at Torquay.
I reckon he'll end up living on the Surf Coast. If I had **** off money, I probably would too.
His missus would prefer the hip St Kilda foreshore over SemaphoreLoldo

Luko is the only kf likely to make an impact for us available.
Ironically the next best option is already on our list. Soldo. I won’t say he’s a good kf, but he’s certainly no worse than what else is floating around there as options or hardly dwarfed by esava as an option.
Marshall is nowhere near the best ruck in the afl. I have zero issue facing him any week.
What he is , is saints current best kf by a country mile, and one of the best 2nd ruck kf in the league. Saints have preferred using him as a kf / 2nd ruck for years, probably the only thing they’ve gotten right.
Soldo makes sense for them cause he can play ruck, and is quite interchangeable in that he can go forward and take rowans place when he goes in ruck and be a pretty good stand in.
Yes
Is 24 realistic for soldo?
Probably not, but it’s the only thing we should trade him for.
We absolutely should front up to saints and say phillipou or pick 24 haven’t be on the table or there’s no deal. We have no issue if they won’t put them on the table, that’s their prerogative. But we shouldn’t be trading soldo unless they are, and make it clear we will walk away and hold him to his contract.
There’s zero reason why we HAVE to let soldo go while contracted other than acquiring talent coming the other way.
Nobody will commit to the club until the coach issue is addressed.

Not a bad assessment but Clurey is worth nothing given he can't get a game.I think assuming we have a change of coach I think we are going to have a cleanout of our 20-44 range players. I think anyone whose contract is expiring this year or next is going to be in serious trouble.

We can’t bring in 9 teenagers, 7 of them 3rd round picks or lower. Even Richmond won’t be doing that.I think assuming we have a change of coach I think we are going to have a cleanout of our 20-44 range players.
