It's ironic that 19 is close to what Geelong is offering for Stringer.

Lets just mention that again. Peter Street. Jake Stringer.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

We just cannot give up pick 20 for Stringer !Not acceptable, and if that's what's at play here they can get stuffed

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

How does Geelong satisfy GCS's needs for Ablett, plus ours for Stringer with only pick 20 at their disposal?

I can see a lot of ordinary players being bandied about here.

They can't. If both clubs hold firm on actually getting market value or near market value.

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.

Robbins was more than serviceable. Was one of my favourite dogs.

From The Age

Gary Ablett has renewed last year's request and asked the Gold Coast Suns to trade him back to Geelong.

"Gary Ablett today informed the club of his desire to be traded to Geelong during next month's exchange period," Suns chief executive Mark Evans said.

"We indicated to Gary and his manager Liam Pickering that there are conditions that will need to be met for the Gold Coast if this is to be achieved."

"[List manager] Scott Clayton will be available to meet with Liam and Geelong to ensure these conditions are met."

Those conditions are understood to be a return of up to $300,000 that Ablett received as part of a "front-ended" component to his contract. That is, the Suns have already paid Ablett a portion of his contract for next year and so would want to effectively be repaid that amount for a trade to occur.

The former Geelong premiership player has won a Brownlow Medal at both clubs but for family reasons wishes to return to live in Victoria.
Ablett, 33, played 192 games for the Cats before joining the Suns in a multi-million dollar deal at the end of 2010.

and

GEELONG STATEMENT ON GARY ABLETT:

The Geelong Football Club will work with the Gold Coast Football Club after Gary Ablett today expressed his desire to return to Geelong during the trade period.


The club is respectful of the fact Ablett is a contracted player with the Gold Coast and as such, the Suns have the final say on a trade agreement.


The club will not make any further comment until the trade period.

Okay so following on from the tattoo deal, Jake's just gotten more work done; a cursive piece down the side of his torso, reading "say thank you in advance for what you already have".

Presented without comment.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Well it looks like speaking gobshite isn't enough for Jake, and that he has to have it printed on his body.

Pick 20 for Ablett and their first rounder next year to us starts the ball rolling.

There will need to be a sweetener to us.

I wonder if we could get Rory Thompson from GC as part of a deal.

Whilst I see more value in trading for a Geelong first rounder in the following year's draft and throwing in a sweetener this year, it's going to be a hard sell to the broader Bulldog supporter base to swallow without going rabid at the idea.

This aside I'd prefer us leaning more towards Saad than Thompson if Saad is indeed keen on returning to Melbourne, and assuming that Trengove is locked to us.
