Genius. Why didn’t we think of that

I’m here all week

Please don’t be

Think Collingwood might be holding 2 1st rounders in any case. One for Maynard and one for Cameron so suspect that can be sorted

They are not getting first rounders for Maynard and Cameron.

 

[Tasmanian saint]

Upgrading Marshall to de Koning, and get an early 2nd or late first for Marshall would be a big win for St Kilda.

That would be atrocious marshal is a gun one of best rucks in the competition.

 

[Atomboy]

Because they might finally land a 'big fish' after years of trying

If the Blues are sharp enough, they could give Walsh up as a salary dump and get Kennedy back ?

 

[Tasmanian saint]

I can see a world where
StKilda get TDK - Free agent
Eagles get Cameron - Hawks 1st plus 2nd
Pies get Marshall - Hawks 1st rounder

St Kilda get TDK for Marshall plus Hawks 1st rounder
great result for the sainters

In what world is that a good result marshal is an absolute gun hawthorns pick will be a mid teens pick , we’re gaining nothing if we are just swapping him for tdk , the idea of having both is that we would be able to play marshal forward were we are in desperate of another marking big

Get Marshall salary off the books and get a pick and next year go Ben King
there you go

They don't need salary off the books and Ben King doesn't want to go there.

Funny thing is both of them would be ur best mids if fit

Kennedy defo.

Would take Walsh for a FRDP.

 

[schmuttt]

Find it a bit weird so many are potting the Saints for potentially finally landing someone when they usually cop it for no-one wanting to go there.

Good luck with that fantasy

What can I say? Paying a ruck 1.7 mil a year just to land a big fish is a good lol for oppo fans

 

[Atomboy]

Sorry, I meant you’d have to give us a FRDP with Walsh and we’d cover his salary.

It's going to be a great LOL for you if you lose one of your best players I'm sure.
Oppo fans will all be laughing at St Kilda.
You just laugh along.

When the Saints salary cap is in the dumpster because SOS's ego made him pay massive overs just to try and f*** over Carlton I'll be sure to have a grand old laugh.

Totally. Steele must be worth about negative 3 first rounders off that measure.

Marshall wants to be the number #1 ruck.

Tom Morris has already reported it.
He said he has spoken to managers

If this is true there's just no way TDK knocks back 1.8m a year to play footy.

He'd know it's a right place-right time opportunity and that he hasn't done anything to warrant that kind of contract, but you only get one Alan Bond in your life.

Carlton coterie group might be worth a few hundred thousand life after footy, but I am not sure it's worth 5million.

I love TDK but that is Insane money for a player who has received 1 Brownlow vote in their career and would not be in the top 4 ruckmen in the league

I’d probably take it at this point….

Doesn’t work like that we have been banking salary cap buy paying below the cap floor. For the first two years of tdk contract we are allowed to pay 105% salary cap which means we will massively front load his first 2 years, for the rest of his deal the money will not be anything crazy at all !

Try again

If they front load it heaps what's the issue? Cap is going up after 2027 also.

Sos doing sos things
The guy is a fraud and has ruined 2 lists and onto his hat trick now but must say nobody expected the $1.7 x 7 for TDK
and that has blown carlton out the window
