Stringer Trade Worth

[The Bulldogs Bite]

What if:

- Carlton trade Gibbs to Adelaide for Pick 10.
- Carlton trade Pick 3 to Saints for 7 & 8.
- Carlton trade pick 8 for Stringer.

Carlton
Lose: Gibbs, Pick 3
Gain: Pick 7, Pick 10, Stringer

Saints:
Lose: Pick 7 & Pick 8
Gain: Pick 3

Adelaide:
Lose: Pick 10
Gain: Gibbs

Dogs
Lose: Stringer
Gain: Pick 8

Essendon have said Saad is worth no more than a second rounder (24 & 29). Scott Clayton said the club will work with any Victorian club on Saad for the best deal (it's about him going to Melbourne, not a specific club). If Geelong give us 19 & 22, then we have a better offer for Saad (pick 22) and throw in Campbell to make it happen.

Brisbane have said their expectation is a first rounder. Pick 19 is as good as. Crameri has said he is open to playing interstate. We can add in Stew to make a deal to land Schache.

Fremantle are dealing with GWS. GWS have an interest in Honey. We send pick 41 & Honey in this trade mix. Crozier comes to us.

Ins: Trengove, Schache, Saad, Crozier and Picks 9, 28 & 80 (Roarke) (7 in)
Outs: Stringer, Crameri, Campbell, Honey, Bob, Boyd, Hamilton (7 out)

So if Geelong offered that, and other clubs had agreements in principal upon the Geelong deal going through. It looks ok.

Get it out there.

As much as i hate the idea of not getting an equitable pick for Stringer, the thought of being able to piss Essendon off for their negotiating tactics this deal holds some appeal

Yep. But it's also what we can do with the trade. 19 & 22 in unders. But if we can land two good young players, then that's where I start to come around.

I can't see the Saints giving up two picks in the top 10 for an upgrade of 4 draft positions.

You're right - would need something else coming back there way. Perhaps Pick 10.

Oh i totally get it and if both Geelong, Gold Coast & Brisbane were in agreement it represents a good outcome for us.

[GVGjr]

Not bad, I think the Saints would need some more coming back to them and for some reason I think Carlton would want more.
Adelaide should be happy but won't be

You'd hope we're thinking laterally. Stringer is on the table, but Campbell & Honey are too, and Crameri today understands he may be too. There's some good steak knives to help get those potential deals done.

This is great work BT, call it through now.

On SEN just now they said Essendon called the Bulldogs before doing the trade with Smith and asked us if we wanted to do 11 for 26 and if not it would be traded to GWS instantly.

With this knowledge there can be no way that we accept less than that.
Apparently Gordon is involved

Okay, hard to see him signing off on a shit deal.

Glad we didn't buckle to that bullshit

I think that would have been a poor deal for us. Not sure that PG needs to be involved but I think we were right to say no thanks.

Did Essendon offer pick 46 as well?

Yeah i believe so, 46 is useless to us so forgot to mention it but I'm sure trade points help

It does give the option of rolling it up into something else. Then if you don't need them it's no real loss.
