News Ivan Soldo's trade to St Kilda falls through

[Ropable]

This could be a last minute packet of chips trade

I've hear an unsubstantiated rumor that Ken's asked for Red Rock and not Smiths, trade hinges on whether or not the Saints will offer a 24 pack of Pepsi Max rather than the original offer of 2 x 10 packs

Lol if he stays he will totally mope around with 3 disposal games like he did late in the season.

The thought of him lolloping around at Hickinbotham Oval next year with a face longer than Mr. Ed is pretty funny.

Hope he's smart enough to not do that though - he could genuinely fight his way back to the AFL side, and failing that a shit season at SANFL level could kill his ability to move to another club next year. Wonder how much his misses will still want to be with him when he's not invited to celebrity events and is making minimum wage

Liked for the smackdown of Kane.

 

[Lambot]

If he's trying to mend the bridges he's burnt, this is an odd way to go about it

Let’s face it if he played the full year as the number 1 ruck he wouldn’t had requested a trade, absolutely sooked it once Sweet over took him

I mean, I'd skip any of my work's functions to attend a wedding of my friends, so

NOW IM GONNA BACKWARDS NARRATIVE EVEN HARDER

 

[Interstater]

Is Dixon's sister his best friend?

 

[TazD]

And now we eagerly await the response from Kane

In full damage control (no doubt drafted by his manager). Contradicts himself in the same post "no intention of leaving" but admits that he tried to get traded "as part of the job". So which is it mofo?

 

[Bump Bailey]

no intention of leaving Port...

now that my saints medical fell through and nobody else wants me.

honestly these people think we're absolutely stupid

 

[Wargreymon90]

Ugh, not that I’m surprised, but who tf would message abuse to a players’ partner.

If this was drafted by his manager he needs a new manager.

Happy to keep him even if he is a bit dim. Good insurance in case Sweet goes down or loses form.

Social media..... it should be tuned off...

will only kill his own career by doing so, choice is his really

If Soldo starts directly calling us stupid, he can be our replacement for Dixon!

 

[melanChronic]

I was impressed with him resting up forward early this year. Any chance he can replace Dixon as a kpf back up ruck?

 

[Jojay]

The media has been all "he regretted going ro Port from day 1". Where did they get that from??

 

[Gryllis]

No intention of leaving... Now there's nowhere to go.

Hopefully it dies down, he gets over it, and starts the season in the SANFL ready to fight for his spot. If he does, an opportunity will probably arise.

I liked what he brought to the team early in the season. If he goes through the motions and banishes himself to the SANFL for 2 years with Visentini clearly surpassing him, that'll largely be his own doing.

Or become Chairman.

 

[YoungsterPA]

If healthy he can be number 1 ruck, not the end of the world to have depth and 2 strong rucks competing with each other.

maybe Dante can develop more forward craft
