News Ivan Soldo's trade to St Kilda falls through

[EskimoPAFC]

Honestly he's ripping the bandaid off while he still has draft capital and for that I'm thankful. Too often people commit to something that isn't working and it ends up being worse for everyone involved. Let's hope the Sainters give us something half decent, they're usually a very reasonable side to trade with.

 

[tribey]

Eh, didn't work out. I think it's good a player will move to give it a go, and if it doesn't work out a mutual call to move on is perfectly professional really.

100%. Not long ago he’d be forced to spend at least a further 12 months chewing wasps in the reserves for no real reason other than “but you only just got here lol”.

This sort of shuffling once circumstances clearly change is great for all concerned.

Pay up (insert tradee club here).

Those ****ers Cripps and Parker better not leave us with just 2 rucks on the list.

Well we did do them a solid with the Paddy Ryder trade (basically traded him for a bag of beans). Hopefully they reciprocate in kind

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Saints are an odd choice. He won’t be getting called up ahead of Marshall

You know he will come in against us and thrash us.

Good, piss off

How weak can you get, can't be bothered fighting for his spot

 

[Schulzenfest]

Didn't work out, best for all parties to move on. The deal to bring him and Ratugolea over was an absolute shocker, but that's not Ivan's fault.

Remember when we could've gotten pick 11 for Matthew Lobbe but kept him instead? Lol.

Shit for brains people arent going to give him a second go.

Shit for brains people arent going to give him a second go.

I guess Sam Day will have to do then

 

[Peninsula Boy]

I liked Soldo and I hope we get a 2nd rounder for him and his girlfriend comes back.

Soldo for Bonger but they delisted him.

Isn't that Arsenal's home ground?

BUGGER OFF IVAN!!

 

[MrChow]

If we can get the Saints 2nd pick this year (24) that’d be good business. Soldo is probs worth pick 35-40 though realistically.

This could be enough to extract Luko, without involving the Houston business.

This is disappointing but we need to make the most out of this. I don't share the same confidence in Visentini being the second ruck to Sweet.

'Lifestyle decision' = I'm not getting a game and the missus is more attached to Melbourne than Eddie McGuire.

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Anyone kept tabs on Isaac Keeler at the Saints?

Was touted as a good young tall when drafted and from SA. Looking at his VFL stats they look decent for a 20yr old tall and can play forward and back. Wonder what his appetite to come home.

Doubt we get anything better than 35 draft wise for Soldo.

Trade him for Doogs and Logan Austin

Yep, more plastic surgery clinics & fake tan spas for the missus in Melbourne
