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

Listen, this is all well and good, but have you thought about involving 3 other clubs in this trade, and also making sure that it doesn't go through until 15 minutes to deadline????

If it means I get to watch Mackie scrolling through Instagram for an hour again waiting for the very real and not at all manufactured angst created by the very real and not at all put on for TV “tRaDe dEaDLiNe” then count me in.

CatToTheFuture we need Mackie watch again!
 
Are you betting on Steele staying because no one will want him or because he will want to stay. I would have thought with his announcement that its more likely Steele goes and they try to keep marshall?

I think st kilda will outwardly tell Geelong they are keeping him like last year but ultimately you would think they trade him.17 and a future 2nd or something is probably where it ends up and both sets of supporters probably feel its too much/not enough.
Pure inside mids, especially ones who are off their peak are a hard sell. WCE would be a good fit, but he ruled that out. I just feel he will stay. Could be ok as there are always injuries and he would be in front of Dow and Carroll as an experienced mid, and would help the kids develop in our new VFL team.
Could go completely the other way or both go, but am pretty sure Marshall will be traded if there is no interest in Steele.

Mackie Cam (tm) brought to you by Macca's Mac-lunch meal. I'm loving it
 
Battle was a free agent. Not a contracted player.
So what ? U wanted to keep him.
You offered him more money than he took at Hawks .
The point is you wanted to keep him.

Anyway I'm not going to argue over this.

Marshall is 30. Saints got great service .
You now have TDK and Dodson
Just get the deal done. All this haggling BS is BS.
It's obviously either a first or an F1.
It's a win win here. Everyone can do a deal on good terms and move on
 
Wanted to see how you were all responding to having a contracted player request a trade. Haven’t been let down.
Why is that? Because one of our contracted players didn't request a trade to your unserious club? Even when offered 500k more a season?

Think you will find most think Marshall will be traded to the Cats and are pretty comfortable. So funny seeing so many salty Bulldog supporters cracking the shits on a Saints/Geelong trade thread. Curious behaviour.🙂

I think we need to give Mackie a watch that will show him to rock up to Marvel just in time for lodgement and not be made to sit there for hours doing nothing

Curious behaviour is putting smiling emojis in every message.

It's not the point at all you silly person. You obviously don't understand the difference between a RFA and a contracted player, and we don't need advice from one of the fake northern clubs, go get you annual free handouts from daddy AFL.

On Steele...

I think he will struggle to be best 23 next year. The way the game has evolved, his type have dropped in value unless they possess some leg speed. The club appears to have explained where he sits in their plans, with the younger brigade pushing up and competing for spots.

So it's upto him if he wants to risk playing VFL or seek a trade where he's guaranteed a start. Again, the issue is that most teams can only carry one of his "type" in the midfield (we have MacRae).

That said, the timing of the statement is interesting because I think most of the above would have been communicated to Jack already. Maybe we've secured another mid, thus making it even harder for him in 26.

Would love for him to stay, but I'm not sure he can reinvent himself in another position.

I guess not much trade wise happening for you guys this year, so to pass the time you've decided to come into threads for players with no link to your club?
Not true. Watch them make Ro an offer of $1.4m x 5 just to claim a moral victory over the Saints.

Serious Not Serious club.

Oh but we beat you twice by 140 points, blah blah blah.
 
Cats would wanna keep their FF. The clubs will match bids on stars like Butters, Walsh and Bailey next year. You need as many top end picks as possible to satisfy any one of those clubs .

We are in no way trading a future first for Rowan Marshall, not even remotely on the table.

This year sure and throw in a little extra to sweeten it but any extra first on top of this year would result in Cats walking.

Where did Steele reject wce? I haven't seen that but it wouldn't surprise. I can see your point about the inside mid. Id be surprised if at least one club doesnt want him though.
