Stringer Trade Worth

[jeemak]

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Who'd have thought someone would get publicly stoned for:

1. Having a gambling problem that saw money prioritised for gambling rather than building a future for family, and not responding to assistance or admitting a problem exists
2. Not being professional in meeting club standards, including physical preparation and treatment of team mates
3. Not being able to keep dick in pants while partner is dealing with young family
4. Partying to an extent it affects work

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Can we maybe ease up a bit on calling Stringer a dickhead.

Sure he has let a lot of people down badly in his personal life by the sounds of things - but he is still a bulldogs player, a premiership player - he has a contract to play for us and the club has decided to not honour that and shop him around.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Nobody has handled this situation particularly well but it certainly hasn't made Paul Connors and his crew looks good - they've merely come out swinging to get an outcome for their client but should be seething that Essendon has been unwilling to deal for the player they committed to

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

To be honest does it matter what the general public really think when it comes to trading? I would have thought that 99% of the caring should be by the players, managers and footy club.

I dont see the colour of the fabric he wears as to what he should be called, dickhead, hero, or anything else. I see the fabric of his character as unbecoming of my support for a range of public reasons and some others that might come out. I won't support him again, no matter what team he plays for. I hope he does so I don't have to fake it. The guy had life right there in all aspects, and frankly I think he's created all of this by being a dickhead. He's damaged our club. I respect your right to say what you're saying, but he's dickhead as far as I'm concerned so I'll call it how I see it.

On the flip side he has completely destabilised and polarised the playing group, drawn tension between himself and his best friend, and, because of his gambling addiction and lifestyle choices, given the club little wriggle room to work out a way to help him more than they have done.

You know why Jake says '...you never know we'll see how the next few days pan out'. It's because he is staring down the very real proposition of not playing another AFL game for premiership points for another 17 months, and it would scare the hell out him.

Ask Stew Crameri what that's like.

Looks haunted when he says he won't be going back.

Jake just seems to be untouchable with the media. When all that was happening this year, the media were angling that JJ was having a relationship with Abbey. The blowtorch wasn't on Jake. We now know Abbey was going through hell, caused by Jake, and JJ was trying to be a decent friend to her.

Now it comes out that it was Jake doing dirty things, with all the garbage around the club for up to 2 years, and the media attention is on our woul club and not on Jake. He seems immune from any meaningful media scrutiny in this saga. How Barrett and others have Jake as a victim in this is utter garbage.

You would too if you had to face up to a club worth of people after a couple of years of unprofessional conduct. He clearly wants to run away from responsibility.

He is getting absolutely bent over on social media by women's groups.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

From the horses mouth ay. Well jakey boy. Guess what. Your contracted. So if we dont deal. Your sitting out for 17 months mate. So you forfeit your pay for 17 months if you dont rock up for work.

And the club banks all that salary cap to make an audacious attempt on a big name FA next year, Lynch, Sloane etc.

Should be more ramifications, club should be able to sue him for loss of members, dragging our name through the mud and breaking his contract.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

It’s a strange negotiating technique by Dodoro. Offer something, get rejected, offer something of lesser value after spending the blue chip part of the original offer ....? I’m no expert but that doesn’t seem the greatest strategy . Maybe not so “smart”. Time will tell I guess
