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:
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?

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

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.

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.

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

To be fair if I got traded and donuts was my coach I would nearly immediately regret it as well

Always thought getting both Soldo and Sweet was a strange choice considering they are only two years apart. Could have honestly just gotten a rookie ruckman or a ruck-forward rather than bringing in two rucks.

Ivan tonight:
Who gives a shit you massive douchebag
We're talking Sam Edmund here, who immediately said this with "I don't know Ivan, but I think..."
And we're taking shots at him because tonight he's at a mate's Engagement party that is interstate. Which has probably been booked in for longer than the BnF has, since the club keeps moving it around and can't keep a consistent timing.

We can try but I can't see the Saints giving up a second for him.
I reckon we swap him and our picks 37 & 59 for the Saints 27 & 46 nd maybe a future 3rd rounder.
