Sweet/Visentini combo could work, maybe

Should have been the option in their last game.

Apologies, I have never even heard of this guy. What's the relevance here?

 

[PeterSalt]

Soldo going to the Saints according to Tom Brown just now on 360

Still doesn't help with the 2nd Ruck Dilemma

Can't see us doing anything this year to solve it. We are tight for list spots and both rucks on our list are still contracted.

Unfortunately I think we are going to have to wait until next year for us to do anything with our ruck stocks.

 

[FR0GGY]

Soldo clearly not intent on earning the ruck spot on merit

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

And how is that going to give him more games?

Soldo & Marshall are a good combo, as Marshall can play forward.

 

[FR0GGY]

Oh….that Marshall

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Oh….that Marshall

Doubt the Port Marshall will be playing any more...

 

[PeterSalt]

I got the impression from Tom Brown, again on 360, that Port seem to be more likely for Luko - though he didn't really say why

He laughed and mentioned both clubs are claiming the other is offering Luko more money

 

[fossilllCrow]

I feel sick, my Broken Hill friend says the rumours around town are Cumming has chosen Port
Total rumour mill but he said today was mentioned by friends of Isaac.
Let’s hope not!!!

The rumour on triple M this morning was that Ports first offer to Luko was so low he literally laughed at them. Not the best first impression.

Bit like us with Jake Lever then

Your posting is a bit suspicious.

Will be interest if that happens as somehow they don't rate Cumming on their board and prefer Perryman even if it's 7 years at $850K but looks like he is likely to go to Collingwood on less money.

 

[fossilllCrow]

Your posting is a bit suspicious.

in what way? This is a rumour thread and my good friend from broken hill mentioned it today but I’ll just keep it to myself

Yes that is serious cash for Perryman hmm. Guess asoon as one nominates the next bloke in line like Luko probably gets more cash thrown at him from the team who misses.

Having a quick perusal you seem intent on Cumming - it could be premature but yes suspect.

The Vic teams seem to have an unfair advantage in non-football areas that they can offer player. Our bids have to be high to even get them to listen.

 

[fossilllCrow]

Could be premature I was just passing on a rumour I heard what I assumed the thread was for. But I’ll move on.

 

[Mostyn]

Have been listening to the commentary around ports forward line and Lukosius today.

He's being talked about like he's the great white hope. The saviour.

I dont know if it's just me, but does he seem like the type of player that would enjoy that pressure.

The pressure of being the million dollar player, getting the opposition best defender, carrying the forward line. His performance being singled out in the media and his own fans.

If he thinks he is that guy, good luck to him, but I think he fits better into our team.

On SM-G977B using BigFooty.com mobile app

Wow, I don't think he's that at all.

I think he wants the bigger platform and to be part of a team in a town that thinks football is significant - but I don't think he wants to be the number 1 forward in a forward line.

I would be very disappointed in Tex if this happened.

Which maybe sounds unfair, but he is our advantage in these negotiations and he should feel some level of responsibility.
