Stringer Trade Worth

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

If we give up 26 then I want Dal and McCartney gone. That would be so pathetic of us.

It won't be Dalrymples fault or decision. There is a committee used to oversee these deals.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

I usually start a thread each year 'dumbest trade rumours'. Probably easier to assume they're all from Cooney and save me the effort of starting a thread.

You could name it the Cooney files!

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

If Essendon give us pick 11 for Stringer which is speculation with all that has happened I think we take it and move on.

I want more from Essendon.

Pick 11 and next years essendon second round pick(I hope they will slide), we can exchange our 3rd round pick of this year or next year.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

This is Gary Buckenara's view on dealing with Essendon

Who are the worst clubs to deal with and why?

Essendon. You could never really get a straight answer out of the Bombers, particularly when Kevin Sheedy was coach.

He was a great coach but he treated the trade period like a game – he’d talk in riddles and change his mind. A lot of clubs actually didn’t want to do deals with Essendon or get involved in any deals that they were involved in because they’d fall over at the last minute after Sheedy changed his mind or they changed their mind as a club.

That used to occur a fair bit a while back. I don’t think clubs appreciated that and while they’re better now, there was definitely a period where clubs avoided them and it affected the Bombers on the field because they couldn’t get involved in the trade period.

Even when they were serious about a deal no club took them seriously. It was like the Boy Who Cried Wolf.[/U]

I like your optimism Macca.

Assuming that Jake staying is now irretrievable, reading the tea leaves, unfortunately we will have done well to get it done with Essendon's pick 11, unless we take the path of a 3 way trade deal.

By accounts at TradeDay, we have asked for Essendon's pick 11 to get it done.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

What about next year's first round pick from Essendon? They obviously think they'll improve on this year and we bank a pick for a stronger draft.

True. I'm very, very angry over this and the whole thing is giving me a migraine.

Why? You have no control over the situation so no point stressing about it. Well not too much anyway.

The things I actually control in life give me enough bother without taking other people's responsibilities onboard as well.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

There will be alot of angry supporters if Stringer is given away for less than a top ten pick. - This is big for future membership (it shouldn't be)

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Did anyone pick up that woof's favourite ex Dog Mr.Cooney in his article this morning mentioned that after he had spoken with people at the Bulldogs, he had a better understanding of the issues, including Stringer being dishonest with Bevo. I thought that was quite an interesting revelation as I know Bevo backs the players to the hilt, so he would find this very hard to swallow (apologies I know Cooney isn't the greatest source of information). It's becoming quite clear that he's had a fair amount of support and chances and I'm backing the club on this one.

This is the section

"Coach Luke Beveridge publicly declared Jake was on the trade table after a clear coach/player relationship breakdown.

This public admission has clearly affected his trade value. I was critical of Beveridge for not speaking directly to Jake about being traded and instead airing it publicly. But upon reflection and speaking to a number of people at the Bulldogs, the coach cares deeply about his players and empathy is one of his strongest assets.

Jake had clearly lost the trust of the coach. This is due to numerous occasions where he felt he had been dishonest with him and refused to change his habits."

Unfortunately there will probably be lots of the “not renewing my membership now” types in both the ‘trade him’ and ‘don’t trade him’ camps. What we have here folks is a good old fashioned lose/lose scenario.

Surely pick 11 vs pick 10 won't bother ppl

Even pick 12 shouldn't. We have to be pragmatic. It's almost impossible to get exact values in trades for players or picks.

We take their first round pick under the proviso that they don't trade it down thru another trade.

TBH it may hurt membership more not to trade him.

Its shit that i got to this stage, but pick 11 isnt a bad deal if we get it.
