Stringer Trade Worth

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

The PC is strong in this one. What im getting at is that people need to be responsible for what they do. If its your kid. Look after it. Teach it the right things. Dont force every other bastard to look after your problems. In the animal kingdom the weak are weeded out. That one sole doesnt create a problem for the rest of the team. Wake up.

In the animal kingdom, some animals eat their own shit. We just throw it at a keyboard.
I’m not sure how asking for you to clarify the point is PC but in your scenario is Jake the kid and his parents *!*!*!*!ed up or is the club the problem? And isn’t it the role of the club to look after the players and help with their problems.
He should have been a footballer in the 80’s when a gambling addiction and *!*!*!*!ing 17 yo girls could get you into the leadership group.

Jake has definitely put himself in a position where the club felt it had to act this way but we certainly can’t absolve the club totally from Blame in the way this has all gone down.

We mustn't fight each other! Surely we should be united against the common enemy!

No! Jake Stringer.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

I'm curious as to which players have also gone overseas with Jake.

And just as an aside, the AFL industry has to have some of the weirdest contradictions of all time in regards to its much vaunted respect and responsibility policies. While we are rightly offended and disappointed in Jake re the gambling and his disrespect towards his family and his partner, the media have chortled away about how funny it is that Dane Swan & Dusty have had epic partying since the GF. ANd, even more hilarious ... now these naughty rascals are off to Vegas together. Ha ha. Side splitting (wait, isn't that the place Chad Fletcher flatlined in the West coke era??).

Meanwhile on Brownlow night the sports bet twitter account which relentlessly shoves gambling down our throats at every AFL venue, was operated by Dane Swan who came up with things like:

Howey, very impressive, you almost got as high as I’ve been for the last three months. #Brownlow

And numerous references to 'touches' that he got or didn't get at Kittens. Sigh.

Anyway, back to Jake. It feels like there is no way forward now in a mess so ugly that it makes Griffen's defection feel like a friendly breakup.

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.

What a completely ridiculous, insensitive and, well, stupid analogy. Utter nonsense.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

How about you leave it to the moderating team... mate.

Yes I'm the problem here.

Surely this is a point better made in a PM?

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

So its personal for you. Which is why your stance os what it is. Thats fair enough. I won't argue that point with you.

It's always personal for someone out there.

Virtue signalling takes just as much effort to clear off the board as other posts, they're both a problem. No need for a PM.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Frustrating only hearing the EFC, scum bucket, confabulation of this story. Appreciate that our very conservative, in house approach is pretty much modus operandi on all sensitive matters so can't hang our leadership over it.

I still think it should be the case that Jake stays. Why should we make an opponent instantly better for little gain our way? Wait the year, hopefully get the benefit of being a shop front for Jake at his best and just let things weave their own way through.

Dogs are talking to the Eagles. They have 13 and we are offering the 2 Essendon second rounders

If they accept we could offer Brisbane 27 + Campbell for Schache

Where do we sign?

Would GWS swap 26 for 27 for Honeychurch? They both meet up & Brisbane get an extra pick higher/extra draft points.

9, 13, Schache, Trengove, Crozier, Roarke (81) with Stringer and his BS gone. Good period.

Pick 13 would be close enough for us just to do the deal with Stringer. Ideally if we could trade Stringer to Geelong and then those picks to the Eagles for pick 13 we might still have enough for Schache.

Two early picks, Schache and something a bit later in the draft to go along with Trengove and Crozier would be a productive trade and draft period. A bit of work to get it over the line though

Yeah great. Well in the future I'd rather you tell me privately if you have an issue with something I post if you're speaking as a Mod.

Is that really something Brisbane would accept though? Seems a bit short on our end.

I reckon if we swapped 9 for their 12 they'd do it. I'd like their 2018 4th back. They get a top 10 selection, points to cover Ballenden. We'd still have 12 & 13, back to back first rounders and some extra points for West & Khamis next year. Seems like a genuine win-win.
