The Moving-Rolling Delisting/Retiring/Trading Thread 2017

[comrade]

Bit harsh.

Not really.

[Rocket Science]

Finally the club speaks.

Weirdly, after reading that I'll be less surprised if he ends up staying.

We want maximum return but we've done just about everything you could to publicly devalue the asset.

Surely nothing would send a stronger message to Jake than nobody being prepared to pony up what he's supposedly worth.

Gerard Whately on AFL 360 all but confirming Kelly is staying with GWS.

One less big fish out there means more interest in Jake you'd suspect.

People want the club to make comment and when we do we've said too much.

I think Bevo found the balance between honesty and protecting our interests as well as anyone could have.

With a very likely departure of Stringer, a very possible addition with Trengove I think we now need to seriously consider pursuing Tom Rockcliff who could be another steady influence for this list.

We've lost two steady veterans and need to bolster our remaining leaders with some level and sensible heads.

It would be great to get Lever but if it's only wages that we need to consider Rocky might be worth having a chat to.

Would love Rockliff if he checks out in the head space department.

I've been saying Rockliff for months, I hope we've been in his ear.

Say Stringer found his way to Essendon for pick 11. And we had picks 9 & 11 would you take them to draft or hit up some talent at trade?

Yep, need to make sure it's a good fit.

All depends what's on offer and we can hedge our bets . Trade one pick one.

Yep, given the reported issues at the club it probably makes it a bit more urgent to have a talk to him. We are going to need some strong leaders at the club.

I'd go to the draft unless there was someone of quality wanting to come to us.

Operation Re-Sign Stew Crameri

He and Jake are buddies too

[Remi Moses]

Like Rockliff . Very good forward as well

[GVGjr]

Like Rockliff . Very good forward as well

And he's done something that no Bulldog has done in a while. He can tag a star player. Seriously some clubs still tag star players and this is not me living in the 90's

I get the feeling he may stay too. A trip to the edge and a good look at the abyss might not be the worst thing.

I'm glad we are saying that if the deal isn't good enough then Jake stays. It's the line Richmond held with Dustin Martin imagine if they'd been low balled into a second round pick and Martin was playing this football at another club?

But if we get what we want for Jake and he goes elsewhere then I'm fine with that too.

Hope he stays and plays great footy though.
