Mass exodus

[Devilhead]

Firstly Marshall is probably worth about 2 first rounders .... in his current form

Secondly this thread is bookmarked ..... a lot of big calls going on which could likely embarrass some posters .... or maybe not .... just have to wait and see

As for Stanley being A-Grade

I nearly choked on my Sultana Bran

[Saintmike65]

If they trade Marshall or Steele, that will be it for me.

I won't be renewing my membership.

Relax, won’t happen…both have re signed on lengthy deals!

[Saintmatt]

The way people just make things up on here and then others pick it up as factual narrative is shocking.

Literally zero public/media talk about an 'exodus'

Most of players on that list- which again is fiction- have been mentioned more as being shopped around or potentially not playing football at all vs leaving of their own accord.

The narrative that were struggling as a club because we don't win every single week is madness also. Almost no club this year has! Look at the pies last fortnight for example.

It’s called
“I wanna be ITK….”
It’s all Herald Sun stuff
Gresh to Hawks is BF latest

Gresh to the Dawks has been far more likely all year than to Carltoon. For some reason this Ikon Park narrative came out of nowhere when, in all reality - Carltoon have next to nothing if we match and they have to trade and more importantly - their salary cap is bursting (they've already allocated a whack of Zac Williams' money to keep DeKoening). Gresham is at the stage of his career where he's trying to max income; not reduce it.

The Dawks have cap space and also, a serious need now to replace The Chad.

[happy feet]

Trading Marshall would be extremely dumb. I hope it doesn’t happen.

[Ghost Like]

I definitely am not in the know, but

What I’ve heard - down at Moorabbin - when I was talking to a track watcher - was that SOS wants two things

Open up the Salary Cap space to lure players
And
Draft capital

Some names mentioned - all of whom would be a shocking mistake - are the same ones mentioned on here

Big wage players
Marshall, Steele, Membrey, Crouch, Howard

Ross isn’t enamoured with many of our senior players - except Wilkie, Hill and Sinclair

OMG, you can't even admit you heard it on this site, nearly word for word. You are not a ITK, that's obvious, but someone who would like to think they have an insight into the club. Come on B.M tell us who it is?

I don’t know Ross, but I have met him on a few occasions. One thing Ross cannot be accused of is being dumb.

He is not dumb enough to trade Marshall, Steele & Crouch. Perhaps Howard and Membrey but no chance for the others.

I have no inside knowledge, but I’m calling bulls***.

bulls*** on the basis of common sense.

Throw out three of your top 8 and break the unity of the team for what?

I am just calling bullsh!t on the fact someone has nearly quoted Tony74(?) Word for Word & tried to claim it as their own "insight". Seriously?

You couldn’t write this stuff in a comedy

Comedy gold !

"Open up the Salary Cap space to lure players

What insight.
Although the luring bit sounds a bit suss.
Interesting world peace and Collingwood exit in straight sets wasn't included, but you can't have everything.

[Banger9798]

I don't understand , ar any level, the idea of trading Marshall.
One of the top 5 ruckman in the league....one of the few things we have going our way.

Throw in the context that RTB has always really liked his rucks. Had King and Gardiner in our first run and had 2 rucks for a chunk of his time at Freo too.

Marshall is close to the best of the ones he’s ever had at his disposal.

Maybe not so good at the tap work but it’s hard to see it

Marshal, Steele and Crouch seem like locks to me

Howard and Membrey’s stocks have dropped this year, especially with Cordy having a great game on the weekend. Will actually be interesting to see how he does over a few weeks.

Membrey may settle in better in the current forward outfit, I'd like to see him stay if he can get back to his best as he has a solid body, holds his marks and can kick.

No question. Am a big Membrey fan in general and his return to form is pbly a missing ingredient in us really elevating our performance/giving us another gear.

Commentary was more on perceived perceptions

Most of players on that list- which again is fiction- have been mentioned more as being shopped around or potentially not playing football at all vs leaving of their own accord.

Gresh to the Dawks has been far more likely all year than to Carltoon. For some reason this Ikon Park narrative came out of nowhere when, in all reality - Carltoon have next to nothing if we match and they have to trade and more importantly - their salary cap is bursting (they've already allocated a whack of Zac Williams' money to keep DeKoening). Gresham is at the stage of his career where he's trying to max income; not reduce it.

The Dawks have cap space and also, a serious need now to replace The Chad.

Is this confirmed?

Ask your ITK buddy Marty ..

[B.M]

Who is my itk buddy?

I am not itk stated pretty often that I don’t pretend or want to be but you can’t comprehend- because you’re either stupid or ignorant?

Why would that be important to me? Or anyone

On the list changes

Let’s wait until seasons end

My prediction

Massive changes, and we will be the biggest trade players

My tip - a huge surprise

Why
Ross will know this list is not up to it
He’s got four years to fix it
He isn’t going to sit on his hands for 3 years
He’s not going to rebuild
Expect changes

[SaintPav]

Just more stalking and personal attacks.

Pathetic and disturbing behaviour.

Given the club signalled the need for changes when Ross was appointed this prediction is as daring as my prediction the sun will come up tomorrow.

You’re the stalker

It’s like telling you it’s wet after it starts raining
Honestly…bizarre

[B.M]

What was BS

My opinion

Which part?!

[B.M]

What’s your opinion

That’s right

‘In Ross you trust’

The best you come up with
Ratten bad
Ross great

FFS

[B.M]

When did the club signal the list had to be overhauled when Ross was appointed

Ross stated when he got the job that he didn’t even consider the list
And
The club stated they thought the list was capable of more

Hence the change


And BTW
I was wrong about the changes
Now
They are obvious changes

Which is it?!

What’s Ross not done this year you wanted him?
Outline your revised game plan, team selections (with available players in form at the time)
Otherwise stop spamming the joint with inane drivel
