Stringer Trade Worth

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

As soon as this is over we need a panel press conference with Gordon, Bevo, Grant, Bob & senior player. And start to tell history how it is.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Apparently Dodo now saying they offered 11 for Stringer.

He said this morning it was Jake and our second rounder for 11 and their third rounder .
He also said these deals aren’t just a couple of weeks it’s more like 6 months which indicates they may have been in his ear for a while.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Parasite Tom Browne has an exclusive 1 on 1 with Stringer in 7 news tonight. No doubt will paint Stringer as the victim, the bombers as the geniuses and the bulldogs as the inept a$$holes. Mark this post

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

What a pack of half wits if that happens. You do not cast a player like Jake Stringer out of your club unless he is a major, major dickhead.

The reason why the rest of Victoria have not come knocking is because they secretly know it.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

That pre-emptive concern on Jake's mental health is the most sickening instrumental use of mental health I've ever seen and the people responsible for drumming it up should be ashamed of themselves.

Good trade for ch7 & Jake. They paid him in bonus bets for the interview. More seriously when he did the launch of trade radio, history & Abby made him a liar. It’s going to happen again.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

So Essendon saying they offered 11, we rejected, and now they’re confident we’ll accept pick 25 and 30 instead?

Like others I’m losing faith we can salvage this.

We’re going to be the laughing stock of trade week for years to come.

We need to come out and swinging here - we're getting dragged through the mud.

I want to see the club take a firm stand and stand up for itself; stop being pushed around FFS.

Gordon, Grant, Bevo - I am looking at you.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

I like our silent approach until the end of trade week. Let everyone throw their haymakers and we'll then connect with the last punch.

For the long term, the stand we are making now will hold us in good stead. No amount of white noise from the media/Connors/EFC will have any bearing on the end result - either Stringer stays or he goes for commensurate compensation, which we outlined weeks ago and hasn't come close to being offered yet.

Totally agree and the stage managed production of this morning from Connors and his cronies clearly indicates we’ve pushed them into a desperate last play which you would think will amount to nothing unless we can upgrade 25 and 30 somehow. Getting their parents involved is very grubby.

Not if picks 25 and30 become stars and 11 flops which isn't uncommon.
We would already have players in our sights if those players happen to be going around the higher 25-30 mark then pick 11 means nothing. We already have 9 and we haven't really delisted a lot.
Signing Trengove and crozier for bugger all has been brilliant as they were the two players we had on our radar a long time.
Plus if stringer had been such a problem at the club and goes it probably equals a pick one in bringing the team back together.
I'm not damning the club just because the media wrote rubbish or opinions.
Let's face it only inside the club do they know what's going on, let's stop being so hard on our club and presuming things that might not happen.

I understand you're point and you're probably right, but I can't sit still atm!

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

I'd feel better if we announced we won't be dealing with Essendon unless they come back with something else available. Basically say that unless they trade a player or find more draft picks up their arse (hey it's for the good of the comp so the AFL could so it) we can't make a suitable deal with them.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Quite obvious we have been saying no or it would have been done , so saying nothing is actually saying something.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

So we have Dodoro, Connors and Stringer detailing all their moves, distorting the facts, holding court with the press, claiming victimhood etc whilst we remain silent and focussed, surely that indicates they are the party who are getting desperate? There is a lot to play out here, in my opinion those criticising our handling at this stage are a bit premature.
