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

[Art Vandelay_]

If Geelong had a competent ruck for the last decade I dare say they would have won at least 1 more flag.

They absolutely need Marshall.

As a hawks fan, happy for him to not improve them

Except that's not really the case. Rucks are AFL chaff. Carthorses.

Even shit ones win flags.

But not the entire year
The ruck worked with blicavs
GF was always going to be difficult without stewart and Stanley in the ruck but what choice did you have?
Despite Brisbane and Hawks getting better Geelong will be thereabouts again

We have rucked a lot with Blicavs before and it often doesn’t work that well.

Our other option would have just been Blitz in the ruck, SDK, O’Sullivan and Guthrie down back, just like most of the prelim.

Tell us what?

 

[Anythings_sipposible]

Look I believe this. But I also believe that a non-zero amount of journalists get their info straight from Bigfooty, so this could be a case of collective board madness making it to the news. It wouldn't be the first, I think armooooo trolled his way into SEN with the stupid Wilkie's wife was unhappy chat group thing

Exactly what Ralph reported
Keep up

That the saints won’t deal but the cats are still in? I’m seeing so many different things that your mob are saying on this forum, including cats are officially out. I posted it because of the latter. Cats aren’t out. But they need to offer more by the sounds of it.

are premiership ruckmen winning in 2022 and 2023, respectively.

You don’t need a very good ruckman to win the flag.

Cats shouldn’t overpay. If Saints want too much, don’t do the trade.

Ok move on Cats. Simple

Not suggesting he isn’t a very good player in his position. I just hope the Cats don’t pay overs.

Its not over until the trade bell sings...

at one end it would still be "take this years first rounder", at the other end "we'll say yes to SDK".

In the middle there's a tipping point.

Pick 19 is unders for me in a crap draft. Gonna need more.

pick 19 is useless (24)

worst case you hold him for a year and get a 2nd next year. What's lost? -6 to 12 spots, but in a better draft.

Yep I’d be holding.
It’s actually a shocking year to want to be traded

But Continental Tyres trade radio needs drama for for next week.

Or else how will Continental Tyres trade radio exist without drama, can it really exist if there is no drama?

Mackie categorically said Cats arent out and talks are still ongoing and he spoke to SOS today lol

He also said no Cats players have asked to be traded and no team has approached him asking for one of his players so whoever said Saints asked for SDK is talking out of their ass lol

Cats will pay up in the form of adding a future pick. This year Pick 19 and future 2nd is more than enough.
Plenty to go peeps!

With respect isn't "enough" what we deem to be enough. We obviously don't rate this draft so the pick 19 is pretty crap. And a future second which will be around 40-something? I dunno, I can see why we're holding out on the deal as it's a really weak draft this year.

Isn’t the reason you guys pulled out of the Aleer trade because you have no future 2nd to give?
Hello look who has a future 2nd to give

Unless….you guys don’t actually have as much cap space as you’ve been telling everyone

Come to the table, we’ll show you the latest in the Spring collection from our lord and saviour Cotton On!

I don't really see your point. It's been reported Marshall is front-ended so doesn't take up much cap. I just think we want to get overs for him because he's a good player.

What I'm seeing here and what is being suggested by the people actually involved has been wayyyy off the mark.
So what would actually get it done?
