I don’t think we need to nickle and dime this trade. It will end up being for a pick in the late 30’s …. this year or next and we’re going to get something similar for Soldo. I have noticed we’ve stopped with the “if he wants to leave, we’ll let him he owes us nothing” rhetoric
I see him as our best backup option for Nank who is basically guaranteed to be injured at some stage, unless Ryan can slam on 5-10kg over summer.
Difference is that Soldo is contracted and Kosi isn't.
Hawks wanting a mid-2nd is laughable for an uncontacted bloke offered 1 year on about $150k. Plenty of them had him in a delist pile.
Soldo despite his limitations has never been on a delist pile IMO and every club in the league would be happy to have a 2nd backup ruck like him. All clubs want 1 primary ruck and 1 backup but rarely play 2 proper rucks unless one of them is useful forward so there seems to be an ongoing merry go round of 2nd tier rucks looking for better money and opportunity.
Koschitzke doesn’t have to sign a contract with hawks, just tell him not to sign and we pick him up. Any problem with that??
No, except any club could take him with a psd pick before us if they want t a kpf
Yep not sure which clubs have a psd pick in front of us but at least 5 would have a pick before us id say.
I reckon when you look at Norths list they are one club who would probably take him as their kpf stocks are pretty slim.
In fact going forward id say they have just about everything covered but lack serious depth with KPF KPD and Rucks.
They go into next year with just Combden and Larkey as key fwds the only other option is the ruck/fwd but not quite either in CCJ.
With McKay gone there is really only Corr and Logue with 5 gamer Dawson as kpd's.
With Goldstein gone Xerri CCJ and Free who has not played a game as rucks. Im actually shocked they have not gone for a few mature talls just like Koschitzke.
There is Bound to be a few other clubs in a simolar boat as well.
