    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

      It's not hard to guess who the other players are. But given they're still on the list, are these problems likely to persist? Could we see another trade period like his one next year?

        If the whole Stringer saga hasn't been a massive reality check for them then nothing will.

          No one is safe.

          A contract won't save you. Talent won't save you. Marketability won't save you. And a lack of trade value sure as hell won't save you.

          If the coach wants you gone, it will happen.

          And I see that as being an overwhelmingly good thing.

            The last time you'll touch it sunshine.

            JEEZUS that makes me want to go out and win another one.

            Hope it has the same effect on the lads.

              The poster you mention is a friend of mine. He lives in Sydney and has been a player agent in the rugby league, cricket and soccer industries. He used to have his own boutique agency and managed David Warner and other cricketers and some pretty big names in the rugby league world. Sold his company to one of the multi-national sports management agencies a couple of years ago and now works for them. Most of his work now is in soccer overseas but he remains an avid Bulldogs supporter and is very well connected in the player agent and in the football administration communities. Sometimes his information doesn't seem to be accurate but that's pretty rare. He is well connected and the real deal. As you can tell from the post that Dry Rot pointed you to, Fronkalicious is a very smart and insightful operator. If you like, I can reach out to him and invite him to join this forum.

                You definitely should. I don't really follow BF much but a friend of mine is constantly sending me screen shots when 'Fronk' posts some inside snippets.

                  That would be awesome. LW He would be treated with a lot of respect on here.

                      I went back on bf after our win last year (didn't last, bad place to be and brought out the worst in me) but Fronk certainly seemed one of the more respected posters.

                            Read the paper today. Stringer thinking he can be the "next Dusty"... His manager says they're the same age (23 and 26?!?)... and that Jake has been "upfront with his issues" - even though he was supposedly "blindsided" at being put up for trade, and even though it appears he hasn't been upfront to anyone for 2 years!

                              It's all just lip service.

                              I heard someone from Essendon say they have the structure and support around Jake to give him the best chance to succeed. The bloke hasn't even started there yet!

                                They will probably pass the cup around at the reunion so at least he will get to touch that one again.
