Re: Stringer Trade Worth

The more I think of it , the more we should have let Crameri get to the pre-season draft a few years ago .

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Could Carlton do a draft pick trade to get Kennedy & Lang.

Start: Gibbs for 10 & 16
Dogs: Trade Stringer for 25 & 30
Then: 16 to Dogs for 25 (Kennedy) & 28 (Lang)

Dogs: 16 for Stringer
Blues: 10, Kennedy & Lang for Gibbs

Our Picks: 9, 16 & 30

Mail I just got from my Carlton mate is the Gibbs deal will be for 2017 and 2018 1st rounders with some later pick exchanges and that Matt Kennedy is part of the deal as well.

Your mate must just read Jon Ralph's twitter.

Apparently the deal isn't over the line yet though.

GIBBS LATEST

A misunderstanding between Carlton and Adelaide could scupper the deal for Bryce Gibbs.

The Herald Sun understands a swap of picks is now a stumbling block for the deal that looked done on Wednesday afternoon.

The Blues and Crows have until 2pm Thursday to sort out the deal or Gibbs remains a Blue in 2018.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Still baffles me why we are upgrading Smith.

We love to hand out list spots.

I don't believe anyone from the club has actually stated that Smith will be upgraded?
The club has said they will look after Rourke as best they can but from where I sit that means he will be delisted and re-rookied.

I wonder if Jake is betting that's he's coming back to WO about now?

Considering he's blown most of his money I'd say he's bet the opposite.

My mate beat Ralph to the punch

Sounds like GWS is the stumbling block

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

I wonder when Connors began to think about how much the Bombers really want Stringer? After they traded pick #11?

If they don't get him now, they wont get him next year.

After their latest shitty offer, the Bombers have sat back and done nothing, while we have been crazy guys trying to cook up all sorts of deals with other clubs.

I wonder if suddenly mid morning tomorrow the Bombers will realise hang on, we might now not get him after all and change their offer?

Would be a great result for this trade period and especially for the future.

Unpalatable as it may be for all concerned, I maintain this is the best possible outcome at this stage.

Flick him for comparative scraps, lose significant respect in the process and improve a competitor?

Or hold our ground and commit to the hard yards needed to own our respective errors, mend bridges and maximise our investment in a rare talent.

If we're good enough to pull off the latter, now there's a tale, and Dodoro becomes a punchline in the process.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

why don't we just bloody well take the picks and go to the draft for freaks sake. Think we are trying to be too clever. Why shoot ourselves in the foot twice by overpaying west coast?

I don't think we have got space on the list for 4 draftees and a rookie list upgrade.

Thats the only reason why we are trying to bundle up for something early.

I'd be ok if Jake stayed over there. Suckling can keep him company

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

When all of the dust settles on this and the possibility of Jake leaving is gone, all of the hysteria will die down and we'll simply have Jake Stringer on our list - as has been the case for the past five years...

The frantic hype is created by Jake's manager, Essendon FC, the media (Who need column inches and air time). Additionally, the Essendon FC affiliated media...

When it all boils down, the message to Jake is that Essendon didn't think you were worth more than a couple of shit picks. In fact, the whole competition didn't think you were worth any better than that. This is because your attitude stinks. So perhaps your coach is right and you should knuckle down and apply yourself better??!!

Wasn't that the strategy in the first place? To see if we could get anything worthwhile for him & if not, he'll hopefully get a few home truths and straighten up?! The only way you stuff that up is by weakening and caving in to the external noise.
