Other clubs trade activity

Re: Other clubs trade activity

Kangas are like the trade minnows...normally pay overs for players, so I'm still hopeful now that bombers are gone that north will feel the pressure to nap stringer and part with pick 4 cmon north, I know you want too.

There's no way North straight trade 4 for Stringer, but he must be very tempting for them from a marketing/selling hope point of view, and they'd have plenty of salary cap space. I wonder what we'd be prepared to offer along with Stringer to get 4?

I'd give them 26 as well.

Maybe North, presuming they have interest try and trade down and then come to us with a deal?

So Pick 27 and Stringer for pick 4? That would value Jake at pick 11 and I don't think North would pay it especially when Essendon have rejected it.

From a points perspective Picks 9, 27 and Stringer for picks 4, 22 and 45 values Stringer about pick 15. Perhaps something they would consider

I don't think they'd do it either, but I also don't think that we are as definite in offloading him as it is being made to seem. I see no reason why we have to accept anything less than a great deal for us.

Does the valuation of picks using the points system really hold any weight when the picks aren't being used for points? I personally don't think so. I also don't see why Essendon rejecting a particular deal has any bearing on North's decision making.

If you can move up the order and have confidence in your recruiting manager then it probably helps but the real benefit is around giving you currency to get another deal done.

You're right sometimes the DVI points are just a bit of footy voodoo

Re North, I think they would like to think they got a better deal than what Essendon rejected but that's just me speculating.

Re: Other clubs trade activity

I reckon Stringer is more attractive to North than Essendon on 3 fronts; they are more in need of forwardline firepower than Essendon, they are more in need of a 'big fish' for marketing reasons and their salary cap would presumably more easily fit in a high paid player.

For these reasons I reckon a deal that equates to somewhere around pick 11 should reasonably be more saleable to North than to Essendon.

North don't seem to care about Stringer. No idea why keep talking about them

Probably speaks to our opinion of them.

Re: Other clubs trade activity

Thought the dees bit off a bit to much in the Lever deal , and Essendon got the better of the Smith Deal .
Impey's a bit meh for me .

Re: Other clubs trade activity

North rep on SEN this morning mentioned that North were looking to strengthen their midfield about 48 times in a 10 minute interview.

I guess we now know why we have heard nothing about Stringer to North

Yet Essendon have told Stringer to get fit over summer so he can play midfield.
Talk about the Dogs and Bevo miscalculating interest in him and now having to take him back is misguided I reckon. It could could be that Bevo and us read the tea leaves ages ago and as a last but well thought out resort, decided to put him on the open market as the ultimate wake up call.
Sure they may have hoped to get good value for him but they must have very seriously considered that we would not get a suitable offer and that would stay with us. The must have calculated that that this would serve as the ultimate wake up call for Jake: nobody wants his troubles so he must have a change of life.
Bevo and the club must have seen this coming. Wake up Jake.

Very inconsistent player. Port making a splash this trade period

Funny, heard that interview as well.

It was like the poor guy couldn't find anything creative to say other than "midfield".
It was reminiscent of that motley crue trying to mount a coup for the Richmond board last year when their only response seemed to be "Neil Balme".
