Speculation Ivan Soldo

[Young Gun #6]

Sam Edmund reporting Soldo has become 'disenchanted' after being dropped after injury and losing his spot to Sweet.

 

[DragoDelph]

Melbourne surely?

 

[MrChow]

He needs to get fit. Was injured for most of the year and lost his missus to Dubai. No AFL club there.

 

[stallon]

If he wants to be the main ruck at a club, its gotta be west coast he'd be looking at. He wouldnt get to be #1 anywhere else

 

[Libbaaaa]

Hey Richmondddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

West Coast would 100% be all over this.

Flynn hasnt worked out and wouldnt surprise if he was to go to Port and Soldo the other way

 

[Tonythetiger]

Would have him back at the Tigers, but he would still be second to Nank which he wouldn't want.

Might have something to do with that smoking hot Mrs. moving back from Dubai to Melbourne,

I know she wasn't a fan of living in Adelaide.

Worth a packet of chips

Worth a packet of chips

Would be perfect for Geelong.

 

[catman2006]

Would be perfect for Geelong.

Rather go with Dekoning and Blitz, every day of the week.

 

[AFDogs]

He is depth nothing more. Which is fine. He will be a 3-4 club player by the end of his career.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Sold a dream by port

Should’ve stayed at tigers who were playing 2 rucks

Yeah, what happened with Flynn? Rated him at GWS.

 

[HTPunter]

I don’t think there is a club in the league where he will not be disenchanted then.

Sweet is playing a great role - but ultimately he’s in that echelon of Draper/O’Brien/Flynn group of 1st rucks. If Soldo is behind Sweet he’s gonna struggle anywhere.

West Coast definitely seems the best game time choice for him, but a fully fit Flynn could change that. Adelaide could be due a change having dropped ROB multiple times in the past 2 seasons but he still has a firm hand on the incumbency.
Geelong would suit him in terms of a club wanting a pure ruck if they want SDK & Blicavs to not be rucks, but even then they’ve invested a lot of time into Conway and will be looking to play him more and more when Stanley departs. Won’t be every week for a while, but he’ll be the heir to the throne.

I don’t think there’s a Melbourne club.

about a career as a back-up.

 

[TY24]

Eagles should be trying to lure him across, he's guaranteed a #1 spot for the foreseeable future there unless Flynn somehow re-invents himself.

 

[TY24]

Yeah, what happened with Flynn? Rated him at GWS.

Did a pretty bad hammy in our last pre-season game and was basically behind the 8 ball ever since.

Got a crack at seniors around the bye, didn't cover himself in glory, then did an ankle, and struggled in the 2's for the rest of the season.

Keen to see how he goes with an uninterrupted pre-season (touch wood)

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Yeah, what happened with Flynn? Rated him at GWS.

Just a ton of injuries. I feel he is capable of being better then Soldo once fully fit but we cant really afford to take that risk given the enormity of the issue that our ruck issues represent

Think Soldo is the safer bet so worth chasing

 

[Malibu#27]

Sold a dream by port

Should’ve stayed at tigers who were playing 2 rucks

And was leading the ruck. Got injured, the understudy has come in and been playing very well.

 

[PAFCsince1870]

He just isn't very good.

 

[Morro]

Would play plenty at the Cats

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Would be perfect for Geelong.

If he was cheap yes but they will want too much given what they traded for him. Id do it for a r3.

 

[Rich01]

Surely he’s not sooking to get out because he’s not good enough to be playing the number one ruck?

He’s on a three or four year contract from memory.
He made the call to leave Richmond.
Tough it out. Win your spot back. And stop sooking.
Geez some players just want it all handed to them.

 

[Caj]

Should consider himself lucky to be even on an AFL list

 

[Tonythetiger]

Come back Ivan!
