I imagine they will need pick 18 for that.
Cats members are just fans like us , they have about as much idea as we have at what's happening or who they want is concerned.

As Ledge said there is not as much interest as there should be from other clubs.

Geelong don't have pick 18. They gave away their first rounder this year, but did receive pick 20 from Carlton, so that is their first pick.
That pick is not good enough to trade Stringer.

A players worth is judged by the market offers we have had no market offers yet , so we have no idea what is good enough.
,especially considering all Clubs would know he has issues and they must be pretty big considering the talent we know he has.
No club has jumped at him at all it's all been just journo rubbish so far, that tells me all clubs see somethings gone astray with him.

Stringer was a pick 5, AA and premiership player, has kicked plenty of goals - more than Eddie Betts at the same number of games. We know what that is worth. If we don't get it then we don't trade.

Essendon, Carlton and Geelong have all spoken with him already. Those are just the clubs that has been seen

Yes. If it's a compromise like Connors said, in that Jake didn't ask to be traded, then the compromise for Jake & WBFC is no clubs outside Victoria. That means 9 other teams, really 7 others with Hawthorn & Collingwood giving tepid comments on him. Thus, we won't pursue 8 interstate clubs and he will be open to 7 Victorian clubs that offer him the similar or same offer.
Or he stays like Dusty Martin did a few years ago.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth
Stringer is contracted so if we don't get what we think is a good deal the others can go jump.
He can then play out his contract with us and we can watch a feeding frenzy for him next year.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth
In my heart of hearts I can't see Jake playing for us next year. The whole saga smells bad. Surely there is more to this than just some laziness on the track and in rehab.
Well if it's the cats we are forced to deal with I'd be targeting Cockatoo. If they think they are getting Stringer at a bargain basement price they are kidding themselves. Cockatoo does have hammy problems but so does Jake I suppose. He has plenty of pace and he can kick a goal. I doubt Geelong would trade Cockatoo but I'd be setting the bar there.
If it's the Bombers then it's their first rounder or I'd go for a Boyd like coup and throw cash a Z Merrett. Again it's a huge long shot but let's see if we can pry out something good out of this shit situation. Gee the look on their smug faces when Merrett says I'd like to be traded to the bulldogs would be priceless.
The one thing I will dearly miss though is Jake's finger pointing after he kick a goal.

It's OK. I'm sure he will still do it no matter where he is playing.

Is the station reporting it as if they have heard he is staying or just providing an opinion that they think he will stay?
