Recommitted Rowan Marshall [OOC 2027] - Requested Trade to Geelong, didn't get done

[CatToTheFuture]

I thought it meant the remaining contract is front loaded. I was wrong. Happy?

Sure

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Its all about the lack of quality in this years draft compared to others.

Yeah that too

 

[Pure_Ownage]

per Cal Twomey yesterday, Saints want a F1 for Marshall. Seems the two clubs are already in dialogue about a trade.

FWIW I am always reluctant to trade F1s. Hopefully the trade ends up something like 2025 1st + F2 for Marshall and F3/4.

That would do.i doubt we offer next years first

 

[Vindicater]

A future first probably gets it done you would think.

Will be interesting who blinks apparently if he requests a trade we are pretty set on it being next years first not this year

If it's F1 maybe we ask for a later pick back or something.

Probably about right

Requested a trade to Geelong.

One of the more straight forward "big moves". 1st round pick this year or next and move on

 

[Bagger72]

Letting an A grader go at his peak is 100% mind boggling.

If Saints don't believe they will win a flag next 4-5 years now that Marshall is 29 or 34 end of 2029 grand final makes even less sense to sign anyone over 25 because of ageism. Steele is a B grader so can understand that but letting your experienced A graders go at their peak is mind boggling.

Think Saints will want F1 in a far stronger draft

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Think Saints will want F1 in a far stronger draft

AND it will be the least compromised draft in years with the bidding fixes and being pre-Tassie shenanigans.

I expect F1's are going to be highly valued this year

It will be more than just a first if it's this year's I'd say

Geelong's pick 25ish ≠ "first round pick" this year.

If that's the offer, this plays out as an 'honour the contract you signed'.

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

Marshall is worth at least a mid 1st rounder plus a second whilst under contract. St. Kilda shouldn't cave for just Geelong's 1st.

Top 100 in the comp player, probably not top 50 this year.

Whether you guys want to listen to the club propaganda or not is up to you but clearly Saints are more than fine with him moving and dont care about him "breaking contract."

Honouring the contract you signed isnt a thing when they are fine with moving.

If there's some bits and pieces whatever, the Geelong first would be like 90% of the trade

It's called pick buying
It's popular in the NFL

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Its 2025 first round pick vs 2026 imo.

 

[blueboy25]

Heart and soul player getting forced out along with the captain.

The Saints are just an unserious club tbh

 

[eastfreo75]

F1 for Marshall and F3.

I have no idea what that refers to.

Clearly? Can you add a reference please, I may have missed it.

 

[TommyPinch]

Geelong always seems to snag these ones on the cheap. Please, St Kilda—do the AFL world a favour and make sure the Cats actually pay full price this time.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

I have no idea what that refers to.

Clearly? Can you add a reference please, I may have missed it.

Yes, clearly. Most Saints supporters understand what's happening here, it's good list management.

There is no reference as the AFL is still too immature to be honest on trades (exhibit A being Bailey Humphrey's manager from this morning).
