Stringer Trade Worth

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Is there a chance we misread how much he'd be in demand or has our cards on the table approach scared off a few clubs?

It's a bit of a worry he seems like he'll choose Geelong and they haven't got much to trade.

Once again it comes down to us standing firm with what we believe he is worth.

I don't see him getting to Geelong without a third and maybe fourth club becoming involved - and trades like this can take a while to execute.

On the flipside, I feel it's just as reasonable to presume that there are numerous Club's very interested but they've managed at this early stage to keep their interest / negotiations in-house, particularly while they cover off their due diligence and reassess their requirements given that Jake' availability has only come about at season's end. My intuition says that Clubs will be clamouring for Jake's services at the pointy end of trade week, assuming a deal isn't stitched up well before then, and assuming that there isn't anything more sinister behind Jake's fall from grace than what we've heard.

They never have anything to trade but they mostly get the deals done. It's their job to satisfy our demands. Pick 20 and a marginal player isn't going to get it done. Perhaps next years first round pick is a good starting point.

Yeah I think that next year's pick is going to have to get involved.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

They have a lot of fringe players to make decisions on at the cattery

Thurlow, Cowan, Murdoch, Lang, And then Motlop

They need to exit salary to bring in Stringer, Ablett and perhaps Devon Smith

Effectively, anyone not named Dangerfield or Selwood.

And may their flaky fringe players remain their problem, not ours.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

We throw out the olive branch in a little while and he either takes it or considers it, timed well like the 'on the market' call at an auction.Enter feeding frenzy. FWIW i would love him to stay. Generational alpha male talent if fulfilled - a la Dusty

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

We used to take all Their fringe players .. Tim Callan , Robbins ( who I liked )
They weren't bad players , serviceable but not rubbish.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth
