Stringer Trade Worth

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

There were quiet a few too. One rumour was he also had a go at one of the players girlfriends, but I can't confirm that.

There was a rumour preseason that Jake and Lachie Hunter fell out over an affair Jake was having with one of Lachie's cousins.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

His ex wife's interview mentioned he was shagging a 17 year old while she was pregnant. The parents of the 17 year old even let him sleep at their place. This is totally inappropriate, not only because he was married but also the power over the young teenager - bit like the teacher/student, Film director/actor roles. That shouldn't effect his football, but there are many things that he did which not only effected his team mates but also his performance

They were never married.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Sadly he will go on a play great football for the dons. He will probably dominate some games like he used to but this is only because of the kick in the pants that the doggies have given him. If he stayed he would have continued down the track he was on and probably would never have returned to his best. If he manages to get his family back and to play great footy he can thank Bevo and the club for saving his career. I don't mind if he plays well but I pray the dons struggle next year.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Fair correction I suppose but personally I'd say that particular detail is less important than the fact they were in a committed relationship with young children.

Call it marriage, call it a partnership ultimately it equates to the same thing.

Cheers, I thought they were.

Defacto marriage

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

I think her being prego makes it a lot worse than if they were just married. Shows the true quality of a man.

Exactly. As I said way earlier this thread, I'm glad he's gone (going) because I couldn't fake trying to support him. Footy is footy, but one shouldn't support a player who does various shit things (Stringer) or illegal things (Milne) simply because he's wears your teams colours.

Defacto marriage

The legal definition of a defacto marriage is living together (or cohabiting I think the legal term is) for three years. Less than three years and it's the romantically inspired "relationship of short duration" definition. No wonder lawyers get all the chicks.

Haha "prego" , now that's a western suburbs word if ever I heard one.

Stringer had been living with Abby from soon after he was first drafted. Doesn't need any fancy definition to show that Jake and Abby were in a defacto relationship with the same family court status as any marriage.

I read somewhere that they'd been living together from just after they finished high school. When a marriage or relationship breaks up the legal definitions of what constitutes a defacto or otherwise can be a big comfort-it takes a lot of the emotion out of the equation, my ex and I moved forward a long way once we'd sorted out the legalities and knew where each other stood. It saved a lot of arguments.

Yep. Whatever the definition of their relationship, they had 2 children together and he was regularly out on the town while one child was a toddler and the 2nd child was barely weeks old. That alone is an indication of the immature, unprofessional and self-involved mindset that Stringer had/has. I could care less about the so-called morality issue of his infidelity (none of anybody's business and we don't know the reasons for it happening) but his complete absence of taking even a basic level of responsibility for the welfare of his children and partner/ex is very much a reflection of his self-absorbed character and how this cancerous attitude could also permeate on a team environment if left unchecked.

Good riddance and see you at the premiership reunion in 2026.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Seems a shame to let this thread die after 2563 posts. Was just looking at how this trade looks post draft.

We traded Stringer for 25 and 30.
We then traded 28, 30 and next years 2nd for 16 and 40.
We then traded 25 and 40 for Schache.

If you cancel out the on-traded picks, we ultimately traded out Jake Stringer, 28 (used by GWS to get Sam Taylor) and next years 2nd round in exchange for Josh Schache and 16 (Ed Richards).

I had an argument (on Twitter) with Rohan Connolly an Essendon supporter on exactly this. He was rating the best trades and said Essendon's trade was one of the best for the trade period. I argued you need to look at the reason why we traded 25 and 30 and the final outcome as you point out. His argument was, well I am looking at it from Essendon's point of view. I said we never would have done that trade if it wasn't for the end outcome.
