Stringer Trade Worth

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

I think so, he had a crack at Bornadog today

That's what I'm referring to.

I just saw that, very funny.

I agree with you about his behaviour, btw. Maybe he feels more connected to Essendon because they gave him another couple of years making a lot of money when he was finished?

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Given the expectations set we now can't buckle to inferior offers. My gut feel is that we want him to go but we now have some limits to what is acceptable.

Yes we just have to hold fast.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

So long as we continue to remind ourselves that this is Essendon that are trying to get Jake over to them for nicks. They are widely understood to be the worst at dealing reasonably. Don't let them waste our time at all on this. Pick 11 is the bare minimum otherwise just put a block on Dodoro's number.

Other Club's will come, particularly after other deals close out.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Has Connors finally come out and nominated Essendon?

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.

Not yet BT.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

He still hasn't Come out yet and said who he wants to go to .. Personally I think he wants to stay but is embarrassed about it all and just doesn't know what's going on.
Basically it's still the clubs choice and I don't think he wants to burn his bridges anymore.

Side note - What's going to happen when his kids are old enough to google him?

After they read the stuff from their mum, what's the next story? That's the question he needs to consider. Did he run away with his problems, or stay and maturely deal with them and be a 'life' role model for his kids and many others?

I was wondering this too, definitely the most disappointing and sad part of the whole mess.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Stringer's agent has "officially" nominated Essendon, shocking nobody.

Now let's see how fair dinkum they are. The last thing we need is for any standoff due to Dodoro's BS to interfere with other objectives this trade period.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Surely Matthew Lloyd is joking in regards to the Bombers plan to get Jake for pick 19? I hope the Dogs stick to their word and don't accept anything below a top 10 pick (pick 11 at worst). I'd rather Jake suck it up in the VFL or clean toilets at the club than let Essendon dictate the terms. Didn't the Saints give the Bombers pick 5 or something for Carlisle? But a premiership player and AA is only worth pick 19?? They need to get their hand off it.

Yeah give him a deadline to come up with a decent trade or we pull Jake off the trade table

I think some of the former Bomber players in the media they actually believe if things work our best for Essendon it's best for the AFL.

To make matters worse on Trade Radio Lloyd is valuing Francis who isn't fit roughly the same as Stringer. They try to be subtle but really they don't fool many.

Wow if it wasn't enough to hate essendon for being essendon, then on top of it they cheat, then on top of that they receive the number 1 draft pick for said cheating, now all their have-been players are coming out dictating with extreme bias what value players going to and from the club should be. If only the AFL shut the club down when they had the chance.

Also if Stringer is having Cooney as a mentor then he is even dumber than i gave him credit for. I will not listen to trade radio anymore for the simple fact they are employing Cooney. The guy is an imbecile.
