Honestly at this point Id say no on principle.
He signed a contract he can see it out or sit out a year.

It would be an oversight if we were to go and invest in a ruckman who would only make the traffic jam for that spot worse. I can understand if Soldo isn't here. We need key position players and another mid/fwd player before we get a ruckman

Dodson is a couple of years in the sanfl away from playing afl but he could be Justin Westoff on steroids.
You could actually play him all over the ground.
Yes we have one too many but I'd grab Dodson and squeeze one of the others out.

Soldo is obviously coming across as not being that big on character, and if he isn't traded and his form isn't good enough to get back in the Power line up I suspect he could play the injury card on a regular basis and be worth sfa to the Maggies.
The above aside though I still hope the club makes a stand to show it won't be dicked around by a player who signed a contract and then spat the dummy because he lost his spot in the team and doesn't give him away for peanuts, which is probably all we would be offered due to other clubs now being aware of his short comings.
It won't surprise me greatly if he drops out of the AFL system within a few short years any way, so if we have to mark down the trade for him as a loss then so be it.

I can see him leaving the game to become an

IF Geelong are trying to contend, I'm surprised they're not going for him as he'd come cheap.
I wonder if St Kilda getting 45 brings this back into play?
Do a deal with North, package Houston and Solvol and work out a nice deal for Port.

Given his thoughts on Soldo, I wonder what Kornes' thoughts are on Lonie that he put in a recommendation to the PAFC to recruit.
I think the North trade for Houston includes Goad so we certainly wont need this tosser with Vis, Goad and Sweet as our rucks.
Ah I see, it can get a little confusing at times, I just want him gone now or he can play in the sanfl. As soon as he got to Adelaide he wanted out after signing a contract, poor character imo.

St Kilda have passed on Soldo because they don't want to risk an injury prone player not because of a lack of trade currency.
Not our fault St. Kilda's medical discovered his dickhead gene.

Will take Goad. Don't think for one instant North put him up unless he's requested it.

Any chance a Vic club would be interested in Soldo?

He could still be of some use though, maybe he could go elbows up in the internal trial and run through the bloke who the club inexplicably traded in today, which could result in two problems solvered.
Being serious, it's just as likely our sensational list management team will trade him for a late 4th rounder tomorrow which we will probably never use anyway.
