Stringer Trade Worth

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

There's a meeja mentality that because we've taken a stand with the player we've forfeited the right to expect compensation commensurate with his talent level and achievements to date.

I even caught it editorialised by someone as anodyne as AFEL-gimp Matt Thompson as us "having our cake and wanting to eat it".

Connors and the Dodo had better tune this shit out if they want to effect a result.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

The media seem to be forgetting pick 11 is us compromising. If Stringer asked to leave we would be demanding 2 first round picks

Afl.com.au

Gold Coast has rejected an offer from Essendon that would see the Bombers' pick No.11 make its way to the Suns in exchange for Adam Saad and pick No.19.

A deal could still be struck between the clubs, however, if the Bombers are willing to accept one of the Suns' second-round picks (No.22 and No.24) instead of No.19.

............


So they get 22 and that's the offer best offer for Stringer. If you do this deal Dodoro, don't waste anymore of our time.

I was reading this, things aren't quite falling the way Essendon wanted. They need to cough up more themselves.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

I think we're missing the obvious move here.

Connors has backed away publicly from Essendon being the nominated destination, opening the door for another Vic based club to swoop.

We need to get Connors/Stringer to agree to go somewhere other than Essendon, and that somewhere should be North. It's better for us and it's better for Stringer, given they can probably afford to pay him more than the Bombers.

If Connors is worth his pay check, he needs to point Jake in the right direction and that ain't Windy Hill.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

They just don't have enough to get it done and it's, as Bruce would say, delicious.

It's getting too hard for them now. Unless they're going with offering us a 2018 first rounder in addition to pick 22 this year. I don't see it happening.

Watts seems good at Geelong.

North? Carlton if they get picks 7/8 for pick 3 from St Kilda. Or he's staying.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

I get that Dodoro has to do the best for his club and that we'd expect the same , but it's the needless posturing from day one in any potential deal that irritates everyone . The Crameri deal was the prime example from our perspective, as pick 20 odd was always going to get it done, but Dodoro played it out needlessly wanting an unrealistic pick 4 for the player. It dragged on frustratingly through the trade period . Who'll ever forget their insulting trade enquiry for Scott West . Some player called Walsh whom they delisted anyway . It's bad business to piss every club off needlessly .

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

I see Essendon was recognized as being difficult to deal with on twitter by Titus today.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

I imagine when Jake was told a trade was on the cards that he might have been saying ‘9 clubs in Victoria would take me tomorrow’. He might need to start thinking no one values him in the marketplace. Then think about if he wants to be a better person & if he wants to be an AFEL player that reaches his potential.

Oh Jakey Jakey Jakey, how did it come to this?

Interesting that Dodoro has offered the Suns their pick 11 in exchange for the Suns 19 to get Saad (GCS rejecting the offer).

Assuming that offer was accepted by the Suns, wouldn't that have virtually shut the door on a Stringer move, Or is their 2018 future first rounder in play for Jake.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

I think Jake has some cash issues, and Connors has promised him (and himself in the process) an early pay day to ease some pressure.

It's starting to fall apart and it's the only reason I can think of for Jake and Connors clearly lying about our notification process and subsequent process.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Interesting from Connors - maybe Jake’s not too happy with Essendon’s valuation .

STRINGER STILL DECIDING

“I think we’d like to end up there, but I think we’re playing our cards a bit close to our chest, instead of just making big public statements where he wants to go."

That's a stupid sentence... but sounds like he's been offered a juicy pay cut, and Connors is saying "We'll go there if we have to".
