Stringer Trade Worth

[Mofra]

Just heard on SEN that Motlop has nominated Port Adelaide.

I guess Port would want to trade for him then otherwise they lost the Trengove compo.
Or that means we have to trade for Trengove?

They might use the Trengove compo pick to trade for Motlop.

They'd have to match the offer, and force the trade. Or do a nothing trade with Geelong. They did that go get Monfries.

Don't shoot the messenger but just conveying Brian Waldron on SEN stating that Geelong may now have cooled their heels on Stringer and that Essendon will look to deal later in trade week with the intention of putting a 2nd round on the table. He felt that with Geelong's waning interest that Essendon would not be dealing their first round pick 11.

Cool, so he stays. That's still ok.

Happy for Stringer to stay. If the above is the case maybe he is also seeing he is not as wanted /rated as first thought and grass isn't quite as green on the other side.

Yep. Dusty Martin had to come back with his tail between his legs and knuckle down as a player and person. a few years ago. Had an OK Monday night.

I wonder if Hawthorn, Collingwood & Richmond knocking him back, Geelong wanting him knowing that can't get him and only Essendon (1 club) wanting him - that if a trade can't get done with Essendon - he realises he's not that much of a package and it reigns him in pulling his finger out.

St.Kilda also lost interest after doing their homework I read.

So St Kilda, Geelong, Collingwood, Hawthorn & Richmond all seemingly not keen now. Interstate teams out. So there's only 4 clubs, Carlton (tied up with GWS again), North, Essendon (may say he's a 2nd rounder) & Melbourne (all in on Lever) as possible destinations.

Maybe he needs to sit down with the club and work out how he's going to improve. He may not be traded.

[KT31]

Would pick 11 from Essendon be way unders for Stringer?

Last years draft a little under, but this draft is deep with talent so pick 11 would be ok.

Prove himself to the coach he is back on track and the club means the world to him.

Essendon will try it on no doubt especially if they are the preferred club. We just need to stick to our guns

We can't sit around the trade period waiting for Essendon to maybe or maybe not make a sensible offer. I'd much rather the club tell Essendon its terms and if they say no. That's it. There's only one other club who may be interested, North, and I'm not sure they're giving up pick 4 under any circumstances. So if Essendon don't want him enough, and there's no one else, Stringer should be taken off the table, then:

- his manager made clear no other club values him
- he's contracted and staying
- arrange for a mediation between coaches and Jake
- arrange for a players leadership group meeting and Jake, and then full players meeting


Be stuffed if we are having our plans tied up with Essendon or an Essendon player like last year.

Holy hell, IF, and that's a big IF, this was part of Bevos plan (obviously plenty of risk factor involved) the mans a genius

[Rocket Science]

It's frightening to ponder whether retaining Jake might've been Bevo's long game all along, but there's an increasingly strong argument him staying - coupled with a significant attitude adjustment - is the most preferable outcome.

It's looking more unlikely we'll garner what he's worth via trade, and more specifically worth to us - and that's partly our fault.

If we're forced to simply take what we can because we've helped make the situation untenable, and Jake ascends to what he's capable of, it'll leave quite the stain on the club, and you can be damn sure our noses will be rubbed in it at every opportunity.

I really hope this charade passes with both player and club finding common ground to their mutual benefit.
