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

I have no idea. Just pointing out when you say "this is fair and should get it done" I'm not sure we are looking for a fair deal in this trade.

Well youre either looking for a fair deal or you're looking to keep him because Geelong wont do a trade for any other type of deal.

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!
Ill pass
Cotton on is poor quality
 
Is it just me or does Marshall suit Geelong better than Curnow and offering 1 pick for Marshall and 3 for Curnow seems a bit backwards? Geelong's forward line is fine. In fact with Curnow, it feels a little... crowded.
  1. Throw an extra pick to St Kilda for Marshall
  2. Keep the 3rd first rounder you were going to give to Carlton to draft a kid.
  3. Win flags
That just seems obvious.
Which player do you think can influence games more? I don't think it's a stretch to say that a Coleman Medalist key forward has 3x the influence as a good ruck. Maybe a lot more than that
 
The reality is that you wanted to trade three first round draft picks for Curnow and now turn around after being rejected and try to offer the same pittance you did the first time. If I were Marshall I would feel deflated that the Cats don't rate me that highly and might just stay at the Saints.

But what do I know, I'm a lowly Saints supporter.
 
Which seems like a weird cross to die on but I guess Mackie is the guru of this stuff.
Well, you can't really take any recruiter at their word but Mackie seemed pretty honest when he said that the Saints didn't really give any kind of clear direction on what they would accept. So he kind of made his offer then got a phone call later saying no. He just said they'll keep pursuing discussions.

Sounds like no one ever even got the nails out

The best result here is Marshall stays at St. Kilda and Geelong miss on Curnow too!

Pretty sad when people care more about Geelong failing than they do their own team succeeding.
Rowan seems to think Geelong is nice since he’s asked twice now to go there.

Tall Poppy rearing it’s ugly head…

Even p25 for a 30yo is quite ok IMO.

I know that 30 in 2026 is not the same as 30 was in 1996, but all the same we're probably looking at three good years left at the level.
I assume Cats are chasing him because they believe him to be a player that helps complete their team and maybe makes the difference between another losing GF and a premiership. More important to them than Curnow? If they are not putting any other players up for trade, its a clear indication that he feel they have all of the other pieces already.

Another premiership before Scott and Dangerfield step down sounds pretty good. I know youre not as desperate for premierships as we are at St Kilda, but surely they're worth splashing out a little on, no?

Mackie is really going to be the guy that turns a premiership down because he's too much of a tightarse to give us a future FRDP?

Wonder if a face-saving exercise for everyone might be for us to trade Pick 19 and F2 to a third club for a slightly higher pick (12-15 range)?

Then we don’t give up a F1, but St Kilda get “better than just 19” and perhaps something closer to what they hope our F1 to be.
We do not want into this draft. We have happily traded out of it.

Happy to help out for your superstar list manager if he’s a bit confused.

“Worlds best trade or Marshall stays”. We aren’t going to be making a counter offer to the world’s piddliest opening gambit.

Keeping Rowan is St. Kilda succeeding. We rate Roma and he’s happy to stay. That’s what Geelong fail to understand and will need to pay overs to get him out.
Geelong failing in this scenario and the Curnow trade failing too is just a bonus.

Marshall is only 15 months older than Curnow, and Geelong decided to only offer the worst pick out of 3 they are now offering for Curnow.
