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

[MisterMarcus]

Saints had to leave Aleer hanging with his proverbial swinging in the breeze, allegedly because they couldn't force Steele off their books.

Might change the "We can afford holding Marshall" narrative a bit.

Based on what facts lol? We have oodles of legitimate cash.

Why make up stuff that's not true?

I mean it could be but the evidence isn't there suggesting as such at all. By most credible reports we have room for both and enough to shop again next year.

It is a bit strange though. The segment on trade radio basically said you wouldn't be able to agree on a trade sale value for aleer when his pick value is negligible. The public narrative doesn't make sense.

Either you don't have cash or there is another KPD coming in. I doubt it's cash because you'll have Marshall's money shortly

We don't have a second round pick this year or the next
We offerred a F3rd they knocked it back we walked

We'll just have to give Curnow a run in the ruck.

That's a stupid explanation. For one thing Geelong would do Marshall for 18 and an fr2 tomorrow (and there's your r2 for aleer). Secondly they have 2027 picks under the new rules. Thirdly this trade has been in the works for months and they cant agree on the value now? That's Iraqi misinformation minister logic. The other poster is right. Either you've found another key back to trade for late and dropped him for it or you dont have the cap (either because they thought someone would take Steele's contract and no one has or they've decided to hold marshall when they weren't going to previously). Either way its poor.

Except we clearly don't view 18 (which will realistically be around 23) and future second as commensurate value for a contracted Marshall who's on a front loaded contract with two years left. We aren't so desperate to trade in Aleer, who frankly isn't a great player, that we would trade Marshall for unders. The choice between keeping Marshall or trading in Aleer is a pretty clear cut decision.

I personally think we have gone slightly cold on Aleer since getting JSOS because we don't need him now. Remembering we only made a late play for JSOS.

But we were still prepared to take Aleer for peanuts. Of course GWS want a bit more than that which is fair enough.

Tough on Aleer no doubt.

The Marshall trade isn't likely going through so it looks highly likely that a 1st and f2nd isn't being offered.
Hence why the trade isn't going through as its probably just a 1st.
Hence, why we can't satisfy the giants trade request for Aleer

It isn't that hard to get a future 2nd though. I'm sure the cats will give you theirs in a Marshall trade

Cancel the trade, we've just resigned a premiership ruckman.

Cats secure Stanley and Knevitt for 2026

SDK rumours not going away

 

[FreeAgent1]

Kinda strange - Marshall is who the Cats lists needs the most for structure, but they WANT Curnow cause he’s the best player on the market…..

Geez, better hope this means they don’t walk away from the Marshall trade and leave him hanging like Leek Aleer.

What a dog move that would be…..

The Saints have got too carried away I think and will crumble they probably end up getting 3rd rounder for Marshall.

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

Snooze you lose sainters

Gee they reckon Silvagni is an injury risk
3 x 1sts for Curnow
Whoa

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

Who cares, get to keep him on our terms & cover for King for 2 years
Will play in tandem with Tdk, starting round 1 next year & prove a handy duo.
We held firm & Geelong jumped ship.
3 x 1st picks for an injury riddled 28 y.o is absurd.
