List Mgmt. Ivan Soldo requests trade

[Launchpad McQuack]

This is fine, but Soldo was signed before Sweet. He came over expecting to be 1st ruck, and he would be if we hadn't traded for Sweet as well.

I just don't see why we'd get angry with him for wanting to go back in this scenario

The trade was completed first but the deal for Sweet was likely already done.

I don't care that he wants to go back. If we get appropriate value for him, it's fine.

What I do care about is the club's poor decision making that lead to this situation and this:

He's leaked this to go scorched earth as a way of trying to get back to Victoria.

It's the "immediately knew I made the wrong call" that's been leaked all over the media that's a bit shit. Why go all scorched earth on the way out? There's probably a better way, no?

How good is journalism in this sport/ in this country

BuzzFeed levels of clickbait going on here

 

[backtozero]

Nah lets keep him and play him as a backup ruck in the SANFL all next year

I hope he likes hearing "your doooooogs"

And he was first ruck. But then he got injured and struggled to get back. If we hadn’t traded for sweet we would have had visentini rucking for half a season. So it was the right move. I get soldo wanting to go home, especially with his missus leaving. But we shouldn’t trade him for anything but a solid return on what we paid, otherwise it’s compounding the issue.

Can’t say he’s looking like going down as a fan favourite

Can you imagine the level of sooking from him if he doesn’t end up getting traded lol

Some people handle adversity well and some people don’t

“She doesn’t even go here”

 

[Doctor Feel]

I would say the truth is somewhere in the middle. The media are muckraking this as they do. I'd say he didn't regret it until his leg exploded and his missus was like "i need more injectables than this state has."

I believe he is being thoroughly unprofessional about it though. Could have left it as "it didnt work out" and still turned up to the finals, prelim etc and no one bats an eyelid and you move on.

We got this wrong in a big way culturally but I think the way its going is reflecting very poorly on Ivan rather than Port.

As much as I would love to hold him to his contract for the lulz, that still benefits no one. Get a solid pick and make him someone elses problem.

I'm not mad at him for asking for a trade, I'm mad at him for being a massive bitch about it. He can give back whatever salary he's been stealing for the last few months if he can't even be bothered showing up to games and club events.

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

Hold this campaigner to his contract..
Incase sweet goes full Lobbe

 

[Donuts_]

Either we get a 2nd rounder or this clown can waste away in the SANFL next year.

If you're going to rub the club's noses in it then don't expect any favours.

I wonder what the rest of the players think of this.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

Hinkley, Davies, Koch, Kornes, Soldo.

The hate list keeps growing!

 

[It Just Is]

He’d want that contract offer from St Kilda to be ironclad

inb4 Saints bradthebrain him and decide Marshall's best position is ruck after all
