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

[austinnn]

Saints fans - "Marshall is a contracted, required player. Cats pay up or we keep him."

Also Saints fans - "Liam Ryan is old and worth a third rounder, despite being younger than Marshall, having more career accolades and also being contracted. You wouldn't want to keep a disgruntled player either."

Funny shit.

Satisfied?

 

[CatToTheFuture]

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

I thought firsts don't count if they're late in the draft? Or does that only apply to saints assets?

 

[g_TRAIN]

Cats were realistically never going to agree to our asking price which was set high because we want to keep him.

I'm sure Geelong fans would like Marshall but not at the price we want

I honestly think this is a bit of an error by the saints here. You could have got 18 and Aleer for Marshall, instead you'll clog your forward line with a spare ruck and and be left vulnerable down back.

You could be right. We will need to wait and see I suppose.

One thing I will say is the club do want to keep him. It's not a bluff

 

[blackey]

cats offered three first for Curnow.
nothing left for marshall.

I don't think it's an error because St.Kilda will be a better team with Marshall in it plus they are not strengthening another club they will be competing with for a finals spot.

I think they'd like their fans to believe this but it has all the hallmarks of Gawn-Grundy with worse players, one of which doesn't even want anything to do with it

Marshall can play in a lot of positions but I see him as the hit up tall marking option up the ground.

Yeah I know that's what they are saying. Our board even has saints connected posters agreeing with that, but i just don't think Ross and Enright are that silly.

It won't get done will it though? So they'll have picks to give for Marshall

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Marshall can play in a lot of positions but I see him as the hit up tall marking option up the ground.

Can he though? Limited evidence he can and direct evidence tdk can't share duties. We tried the tall making option with sav once, it doesn't add enough to justify the position even if you're good at it

Well true, they are 3 shite 1st picks, probably why it won't get done
No Curnow, No Marshall
Worpedo will have to do

They wouldn't be keeping him if they didn't have a plan .

This 100% both TDK & Marshall want to be the No1 Ruck.

Has Marshall actually said he wants to be No.1 ruck at St.Kilda f.c
Towards the end of the season, when asked about Tdk.
He stated that he was happy to play a role, whatever that looked like.
He's under contract, so he doe's what the St.Kilda fc tell him to do.
Not because Geelong fc offer him a ruck role with Blicavs & Sdk.

 

[MisterMarcus]

For a supporter base that desperately wanted to keep Marshall, Saints fans now sound awfully nervous about the possibility of Geelong pulling out of the deal....

 

[Tasmanian saint]

The Charlie Curnow pivot. As expected of the master Mackie.

I highly doubt three late teen picks is going to interest Carlton, they told Sydney two firsts and a star player Geelong are miles of having the currency

 

[Atomboy]

Snooze you lose sainters

I’m not sure we’ll ever recover from not getting pick 25 in a shit draft….

 

[HairyO]

Except 18 is in for Curnow.

Everyone attacking Saints for walking away from Aleer but Geelong are walking away from Marshall to get Curnow.

 

[TiAn_]

No trade here the best outcome for the 16 other clubs. Cats don’t improve in the ruck and have to keep Blicavs there for big stints when he’s more valuable elsewhere and the Saints will waste at least half a season trying to wedge him into their forward line.

Where'd you dig that from.
If you've been reading on here for any length of time
You'd realise we were always holding him.

Personally I’m relieved if we want to play finals we are a better team with Marshall in it Theres no denying that

 

[Toppa]

The cats have just done exactly the same thing... minus the scathing pile on. Interesting.
In any event I love it.
More power to the clubs is a good thing, makes trade period FAR more interesting and only improves clubs chances of changing their fortune's quickly

Amen to that, can’t wait to see Roma and TDK together.
