Stringer Trade Worth

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Pick 11 is fair for both sides. If he gets himself together, Essendon win by loads, if he doesn't, they probably lose by loads. Upside and downside aren't miles off. He could be a gun. He should be a gun. They have the advantage of him having nowhere to hide his "indiscretions" now. Surely makes it more likely he'll turn it around if he's traded.

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)

I just don't get that BAD

I accept There will be supporters disappointed we couldn't work it out with stringer - I'm among them

But I don't accept that members will not renew over Stringer

We have a lot of other players to get behind and the former #9 will be just be a former player - and not worthy of my thinking (nor anyones) about bulldog domination

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Stevo tweeting Stringer staying is most likely, Dodo must be offering a third rounder for him.

Essendon / Dodoro wasting everyone's time again. They should be banned from Trade Week like they were banned for being drug cheats. What a shit Club.

They were hardly banned. I'd say almost rewarded. They got a year off to refresh knowing full well they got a free look at any rookie in the country whilst knowing they'd be rewarded with the no 1 pick. Absolute disgrace from the league to give them the no 1 pick. They finished last because their players cheated and were rubbed out for a year. Not because they were bad. They then got the no 1 pick plus had all their top players return. Still annoys me that was allowed to happen. And the Essendon media campaigners were the leading choir boys making everyone feel sorry for the club. Disgraceful. I lost a lot of respect/support for the AFL with that terrible decision

Cool, time for a game of thrones 'shame' march into the WO.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Could we look at something like:

Trade with Brisbane

Pick 9 to Birsbane for Schache and 18

Separate trade with GC and Ess

Pick 18 (ours) to Gold Coast
Pick 28 (Ess) to Gold Coast
Pick 11 (Ess) to Dogs
Pick 24 (GC) to Dogs
Pick 35 (GC) to Dogs - we can negotiate on this one.

Stringer to Ess
Saad to Ess

End result:
Dogs lose Stringer, pick 9
Dogs receive Schache, picks 11, 24, 35 (we also hold pick 26' so have 4 picks in the top 35/40 once bidding and FA compo hits)

Gold Coast lose Saad, pick 24
GC receive picks 18, 28

Ess receive Stringer, Saad
Ess lose picks 11, 28

Ive had a long day, but would we be happy with that?

Essendon and GWS then need to look at say a future first round for Smith.

If clubs want things to change then they just ignore Dodoro and make it know that if he is there they won't be.

The general consensus is that Stevo is doing for us what Lloyd, Cooney and Watson do for Essendon by trying to show we won't budge
He's copping a belting on Twitter

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

This is the same Dodoro who threw Bigg's DVD in the bin. Thanks for that Dodo.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Chad Cornes in conversation with Lloyd, "Bulldogs have to take what they can get", while the pair of them equate Stringer's worth to be roughly equivalent to but certainly no better than Schache or Francis.

Uhuh.

Why should we? Cornes can get stuffed. We refuse to deal, he wears the tricolours for us next year. He doesn't pull his finger out, Bevo will have him VFL side week in week out. Good on you dogs, be proud.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Concerning that we are willing to deal with Essendon and be a bit flexible about giving them something back

This from Fox Sports site

"The Bulldogs, meanwhile, are the third club dealing with Essendon and they, too, have requested that Pick 11 form part of any trade for Jake Stringer.

The Dogs have said that Pick 11 has to be part of any trade for Stringer, rather than a later choice and they have indicated a willingness to give something — presumably a later draft pick — back to the Dons.

The Bulldogs say they are willing to retain Stringer, who is contracted for next year, if they do not receive significant compensation"
