Stringer Trade Worth

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

I know i will get flamed for this but i will use the analogy anyways. I went to a kids birthday yesterday. The cake had to be made dairy free. Gluten free and nut free. I just pissed myself laughing because thats how piss weak society is becoming. If your kid has a freakin allergy. You should teach him as such. Why does every other person have to pay for your weakness. Why is the club paying for jakes addictions and weakness' . Flame away PC crew.

Too good.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Nah. There's plenty of grey between white and black. As you say (a) I won't support him again, but (b) I expect the club to hold close enough to its public position that compensation should be fair. Certainly fairer than picks 25 & 30. I think both things.

But then what is 'fair' for a player who is said to have damaged and/or destabilised a club?

Will be interesting to see how it plays out - but my gut feeling is that Pick 11 for Stringer & 26 was the best offer we are going to get.

A fifteen pick upgrade? Geelongs offer of 20 was better IMO

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

The more this circus goes on the more I want the club to not trade stringer and force him to sit out 2018 and his salary.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Who the *!*!*!*! advises a gambling addict to go to Vegas on his holiday, did he take his 17 year old girl with him?

This bloke in denial, doesn't understand why we are taking the position we are.

I mean it's awesome that he'd told EFC that he's reformed and everything, but within a few days of reforming packing up for a trip to Vegas is a bit much.........but it's Jake Stringer, The Package we're talking about after all.

Off topic, but I don't think it's PC gone mad stopping children from potentially dying whilst in your care.

I can sympathize. But for years and years thats how it was. But now. Everyone is responsible. So the kid learns nothing about life. He just thinks its a normal cake. You have to see both sides of the filling here surely.

So the message im trying to get accross is that jake made mistakes. He will now front no consequences for his actions. The media are allowing it. The weak as piss society are allowing it. So he can sleep with underage girls. But a richmond girl gets her tots out for a photo and everyone jumps up and down coz it got posted.

I'm not a fan of a 15 pick upgrade. Geelong remains interested. With Watts out of the frame (going interstate), Geelong should be in the hunt and has probably 19, 22 & 23 when Lang gets traded (& futures). That's enough to get them Stringer & GAJ if we help them with paying some of JS's wage. If we are prepared to offer Jake and cash, we might just get a better offer than the upgrade or their double second rounder. Or that's what I'm telling myself off to sleep every night.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Jake leaves the door ajar:

STRINGER SPEAKS


Stringer's father said the ugly split had seen his son "publicly stoned" by the process.

Stringer should minimise his publicly known sins and get stoned in private like the rest of us.

Not a good look IMO.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

He must be right up there for the most punchable face award. If not leading the count.

Next to Barrett, Toby Greene looks like a good bloke.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

We have a duty of care to Jake and we should treat it seriously. How can we put our hand on heart and say we are doing the right thing by Jake who has his own troubles by sending him to a club that never looked after their players and had a program of flat our cheating in place.

We owe it to Jake to keep him with us.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

And I think we will. I've heard that we are seriously considering that option and Grant went some way to backing that up.

This process may indeed put us in the best position to help him
