Trade Requested Ivan Soldo - Requested a trade to Victoria, linked to St Kilda

[Tonythetiger]

Did he sign a new deal when he went over to Port? Can't find any mention of it and the old Footywire contracts site showing his deal expiring 2024.

I've seen an article stating he has a deal through next season with Port. Appears he was signed to a two year deal which seems a bit strange. Would have thought 3 years at a minimum.

Would either clubs fans be unhappy with this?

Soldo for jack hayes straight swap cheers

Could easy play the Dixon, physical presence type role.

 

[THE_GUN]

Perfect fit for Geelong imo

Perfect fit for Geelong imo

yep that would be his best bet at number 1 ruck

 

[jackag24]

Good luck finding pie floaters or malls balls in Melbourne you big idiot

Hayes at his age and injury prone is a delist.

Thats exactly where he should go but i doubt he will.

He's an awful forward, so not sure why he wants to go to St.Kilda. Unless they plan on playing Marshall FWD-RUC which wouldn't make sense.

Saint Soldo sailing by where a second rounder may, may, may be enough for Luko + salary dump

Saints wont trade 24 for soldo and i doubt gc would accept that anyway.
My guess is carltons future 1st (from the houston trade) probably goes to gc and maybe a r3 or a late pick back to port.

We definitely mean to pair Marshall up as a ruck forward. He's very dangerous forward if centre. We would have done it more this year but Lyon didn't rate Campbell.

You have a weird obsession with ruckman. 3-4 years running.

 

[Turksta84]

cant see saints offering more than pick 43 and a future 4th maybe.

Port clearly paid well overs, cant expect to get something in the 30s for him

Probably just play them the same way as Richmond did with him and Nankervis. Think Marshall should still be number one ruck, but will offer more versatility. Soldo does just enough forward to get away with it.

Price will be interesting. Thought Port really overpaid last year, he’s ok but not that good and is always injured. Saints are desperate for a guy like him so may be willing to pay up but I don’t know.

Sweet is good and Visentini is ready enough as a back up. Not sure its worth Port keeping Soldo to his contract.

We would be insane to pay all of Lukos salary AND part with a first rounder

Salary cap dumps are meant to come with a first rounder TO us not from us right?

Marshall resting forward is very dangerous, just don't think Soldo is the other RUC-FWD you want to pair him with.

 

[Brian McGee]

While port definitely overpaid for him last year, I also don’t think there is any need to trade out our best ruck depth option for peanuts. Look at the position Brisbane are in this year now with the big o out for the grand final. Having a back up like soldo (who has still played the best footy of our rucks this year) or sweet is sensible, if you can afford the cap space.

Sweet has been miles better than Soldo this year. Him and Logan Evans the 2 bright spots.

Give him away and throw in Stinkley and Cornes.

I hope we only get him as a backup but then we wouldn't want to pay anything of note (except cap which we have plenty of). And I don't really know if he'd go for that.

 

[projectv]

If he wants to play as a number 1 ruck somewhere nominating us is a bit of a strange choice, but it would be a massive upgrade on Campbell and being able to throw Marshall forwards more often would be great for us.

Gc arent trading luko that way.
It will be either a late 1st or a pick in the 20s as it should be.

Yep, Stanley on his last legs, but Chris Scott apparently loves him, so he is a hard one to shift. I thought he was just about cooked, probably should be moved on.

Not sure if Soldo would want to live in Geelong but it's close enough to Melbourne where he can see his Mrs.

Certainly cannot see his Mrs moving to Geelong as reportedly hates Adelaide.

 

[Mindfury]

speaking of, Soldo to Saints to cement himself as a #2 and allow Marshall to rotate forward more?

Campbell was our 'Break Glass' ruck, otherwise our pinch-hitter was Caminiti (and before that when our whole team was dead last year, Owens lol). Hayes' knee might never hold up enough to do hit outs again - if he doesn't get moved on too.

wouldn't be the most exciting trade, but we've done dumber deals. Some random lowish pick

bruh moment

sticking with this. he's coming in to play the Paddy Ryder half of the equation (as best as he can) and make Ro more dangerous up forward. he will get minutes
