Staying with us would have to be in play now. But to be honest if Stringer is not prepared to look in the mirror and accept his need to change his lifestyle, I don't want him anywhere near our club moving forward.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth
Wow. I don't think I even want Stringer to stay after reading that. He is (could be) an amazing footballer but he's a pretty shit bloke. I know no one is perfect but he seems to be un remorseful.
I wonder if other clubs know the extent of his problems. And I wonder if he was upfront with them in his meetings with suitors. We'll soon find out I suppose if they retract their interest in him.
They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

Re: Stringer Trade Worth
Anyone know what the AFLPA rules are about banishing players until they redeem themselves?
That is, if we keep him, if, if, if, can we tell him he needs to earn trust but from a distance and if he passes tests we may allow him inside the WO late January or early February. If it's OK to banish him for 3-4 months.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth
OK, if that article is mostly true then Jake is really bad and Abbey has been really hard done by.
But I query the timing of it? Surely the smart play for her is let him get the best contract he can, then publish the article and get as much maintenance as she can out of him.
Doing it now is a bit odd and not very smart. What were her motives?
Blind revenge? Some advantage for her and her exposure?
The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

The HS - known for their spotless journalistic ethics - might've made a 'donation' to her workshops.
If so, that's not at all a bad thing of course, but suspect they've paid in some fashion for a story they know has LOTSA traction.

Barrett is desperately trying to work out how to banish his article comparing Dusty to Stringer from the entire internet and pretend he never wrote it.
He's spent the last few weeks taking pot shots at Bevo's hard line stance. I look forward to him once again having to swallow a giant serving of humble pie.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

The simple fact is it is true, I don't care about her motives. If I knew about it at the start of the year, then others would have as well

She'll get looked after, no doubt. I'm not sure she is all that smart - I follow her on Instagram. But the things she has said are indefensible.

I'm blocked on Twitter so I've tweeted his good mate Hutchy and asked if he thinks Damo is looking forward to his humble pie! Someone should definitely call him up on trade radio.

This is a double whammy for Damo. His numerous pot shots at Bevo ove the past few weeks now look laughable AND he's missed out on breaking a significant off field footy story. Must sting the so called best news breaker in the game.

And his producers can't block all the callers with interesting questions, like he blocks on Twitter.
Oh no.
