      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

          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.
          I will never see #16 the same!!

            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.
            TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

              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.

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

                    Not a good look IMO.

                        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.

                            And I think we will. I've heard that we are seriously considering that option and Grant went some way to backing that up.
                            But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

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