    Re: Stringer Trade Worth

    There's still a fair bit to play out but regardless of whether he is with us or not Stringer needed some of this stuff out in the open

    Having it public knowledge gives him a chance of facing it instead of living in denial

    I hope he can sort it out with us but life will go on if he can't

A number of players at the club have already made contact with him (Stringer) recently.

      I thought that was interesting.
      Didn't show up to the B&f, but hopefully we can get him back on track.

        Yeah im the same. From the strories im hearing hes pretty much a dead man in my household with my wife and daughters.

        But its all fluff from us in the paper just trying to get as much as we can for the creep.

          Re: Stringer Trade Worth

          Interesting article popped up in my Facebook feed this morning, J-Mac quotes and he wasn't so much leaving the door ajar as pulling it wide open for Jake to stay at the Bulldogs in 2018.

          I'm thinking Jake stays.

            Just goes to prove you never say never in the AFL
            I wonder why it's looking that way? Hopefully there has been some good discussions

              What were the quotes?
              They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                Not sure there, not sure how much has been talked about yet between potential parties but I took it as pay up or shut up.

                Stringer not at the B+F last night is usually not a good sign for a player staying.

                We'll see.

                  The article was posted a couple of pages back on this thread.

                      They also mentioned it's likely Jake will nominate Essendon today ahead of Geelong.

                      If that's how it plays out, likely he'll be in our colours next season.

                            And of course they both would have the same knowledge of what's going on as us.
                            Cooney might be talking to Jake but how would he know we would be happy with pick 29 ?
                            If it was 29 I would say another player would be involved or another draft pick the next year.

                              He talked just a bit about his experience being traded in the last hour of the trade period. This might be me reading it wrong but he gave the impression it was a real haggle over picks and that we eventually buckled.

                                If that's true, then Dedoro will think he can do it again, again. We need to mix it up either through your 'time clock' or my 'we are taking him off the table now' strategies. We just can't have valuable time in the trade window tied up with them.
