What’s a fair price for Marshall?

Further to the last post about Rowan Marshall, the St Kilda ruck finished 10th in the Saints’ best and fairest.

As this masthead reported on Sunday, the Saints want Geelong’s first-round draft pick (pick No.14) and a player in exchange for Marshall. They initially asked about small defender Lawson Humphries but have since shelved that inquiry.

From a Geelong perspective, that seems a high price for a ruck who turns 31 next month, though the Saints will argue their demand is fair as he is contracted until the end of next year.

The Cats also have picks 34, 55 and 73 from this year’s draft, and a full suits of selections from 2027 and 2028. Bear in mind, they also need picks to get a deal done for Essendon defender Jordan Ridley, whom the Bombers will ask for decent compensation.
