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

[Tasmanian saint]

Grundy went to Sydney for pick 46 and an F2 so this years first is more than enough for Marshall

Grundy was on a big contract that not many clubs were prepared to take on hence his cheap trade price, marshal is on a heavily front
Loaded deal the situations are nothing alike

What does this mean for Premiership ruckman Rhys Stanley?

I'm still baffled you guys extended him.

 

[beside the seaside]

Well he took TDK to the cleaners last time we played you guys,

In the game this year? Hardly.

 

[Kobe Gryant]

I'm still baffled you guys extended him.

Conway's every chance of having '26 wiped out with injury. Edwards will be a player, but he's two years off regular AFL games at a minimum. The kid is built like a lollipop.

Blitz is 35 next year and the whole point of him is to be a swiss army knife, rather than a week to week ruckman.

Let's be real, our options aren't great if Marshall was to go down.

Rhys is probably cooked, but if it's between him and a VFL player as back-up, I'm taking him.

Marshal is a supremely talented tap ruckman, his around stoppage work is elite and he can kick a snag. Contracted, you'd reckon 2 first rounders and SDK would have to be the starting point.

you should have taken Grundy!

Though you'd be trading out Jack Bowes and pick 7 to fit him in

We tried. Twice. He didn't want to live in Geelong, and had no interest in the surf coast.

For all the 'go home' and country/surfer types we do get, there's just as many who prefer the city life.

 

[Chism]

Good get by Cats if they land him.

Marshall wants to play in finals and big games while TDK wants the cash who is on his own now and he could of stayed with us if he wanted to continue to be in a mediocre crappy team but he chased the dollars as a mercenary to still stay in a mediocre team!

Throwing in Jeremy Cameron as well and you got yourself a deal

Why pay TDK a kings ransom then if this bloke is so good who you effectively pushed out by paying TDK so much?

I dunno... Is his arm injury that bad? Don't want to be a salary dump for a potentially injured player.

 

[archiemoses]

Id be asking for SDK

 

[Falchoon]

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).

'Most Saints supporters' Gotya

The theory of replacing an aging player with a younger version, with possibly more actual ruck talent is a sound one. Good list management.
Paying players forward to allow it to happen is good list management.
Trading out a 'displaced' 30 year old for solid draft capital, good list management
Trading players you have paid forward I'm starting to waver....
Relying on Max King as the big body forward, I'm past wavering....

Trading 40-60 games of A grade Marshall on below A grade wages for a pick in a poor draft where that pick has historically netted a ~40% return.

That's not good list management.

 

[Anythings_sipposible]

You've got to love all the salty Carlton supporters in every Saints related trade thread. Losing Marshall may turn out to be a mistake, but at least gaining TDK has broken Carlton's fanbase

Nah, barely got a touch in the gf.

 

[Anythings_sipposible]

Is that you SOS??

Saints have been a graveyard team for 100 yrs. I like your optimism but if you think you are challenging the Lions and Suns in the next few years you are deluded not to mention the rising Hawks and Cats who never decline.

Total delusion and over paying madness to try and just play finals let alone make a Prelim or anything of significance to please the poorest fan base in the league.

Saints are just a laughing stock and irrelevant minnows.

Tehe, there's one right here!

 

[Chism]

Tehe, there's one right here!

Tehe go make a DVD!

Lol Saints fans and gee you guys have some clout for such a pathetic and disgusting history of success.

Seriously can you blame us?

You have given our delisted rubbish list spots and our over 25 B graders A+ grade money

Can't we just enjoy it?

It feels like you guys are going out of your way to prove my point here

Yeah we are yelling at clouds like you think we are while listening to elderly grandparents saying how good the Saints were in the 1960s!

Go you though and feed off that enthusiasm kid.

Not that I have any skin in the game of tit for tat with the Blues and Saints.

But I have found it amusing in a lack of self awareness style when a couple of Blues fan mods repeatedly refer to St.K as a rabble with incredible bitterness among the speculation of Silvagni and De koning departures.

I mean, It may well be strictly true with the Saints but the Blues are now at 30 years since being relevant with a lot of rabble years in between. Nearly all of the 21st century in fact. 0 GFs.

 

[SainterinSydney]

Lol, I thought I was in the JSOS or TDK thread for a moment with all these Carlton supporters

Nah man, you were actually spot on. Nothing says "not salty" like spending your nights posting on boards that have nothing to do with you
