Marshall, while a star talent for the Saints who bordered on All-Australian selection a couple of years ago, is unlikely to demand a top 10 pick in this year’s National Draft, particularly with how well St Kilda have recruited this off-season.<\/p>\n
Therefore, Geelong’s late first-round pick, which currently resides as the 18th selection, should be enough to interest the Saints.<\/p>\n
A swap of Geelong’s 2026 first-round selection for St Kilda’s second-round pick next year could be the essential part of the deal which convinces the Saints to part ways with Marshall, too.<\/p>\n
The Saints will be banking on a drop off from the Cats, who will need to defy history to find similar success in 2026 following their grand final thumping, while St Kilda are expected to take a sizeable leap into the frame of September following a monumental off-season of acquisitions.<\/p>\n
