Stringer Trade Worth

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Apparently they blocked themselves from doing this by trading their 2018 second rounder.

Carlton or bust now.

Its getting very very interesting for the dogs now. Will they have enough substance and hold firm on their rhetoric? Going by form we will take the 2 second rounders lets hope I'm wrong on this and Jake is forced to come back to the club with his tail between his legs and we sit down and work shit out.

The long term implications are that every trade period we flag our willingness to back down and take inferior offers. That's a problem beyond JS this period. I think we have to stick firm, or work into another trade. The only possible one seems Carlton right now.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Gibbs deal soon to be done if you believe trade radio. Then Carlton have to work out how to break up the pick 16 to deliver them Lang & Kennedy (both apparently mid 20's pick value).

Hopefully we've already told them they can have 25 & 28 for Pick 16.

Given that still involves Essendon getting Stringer, part of me hopes it all falls through.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Wonder if Carlton return the favour of us giving them the pick they got curnow with ?

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

You wonder whether camp Jake might be getting just a wee bit antsy and frustrated with Dodo's unhelpfulness in getting him to where he evidently wants to be ... and whether that motivates the Bombers to invest some effort and put out.

If it all falls through our Jakey's going to have a rather nasty taste in his mouth I reckon, not that I think his prospective new employers would give two shits.

Give the drug cheats a gun player cheaply. Then... Give the salary cap cheats a helping hand so they can bring in more talent. All for pick 16. Sometimes it doesn't pay to be a solid citizen.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Apparently that's still the asking price. Two first rounders, one in the top 10. If Cameron goes for 12, it could be 12 & 16.

As it relates to us, they need to split pick 16 for a couple of picks in the 20's to land Kennedy & Lang. Maybe we can help them.

Gibbs for 10 and 16, Motlop for 19. What a strange trade period.

Stringer for 25 & 30. Nothing for Schache. Who knows what for GAJ.

Replace Essendon with Carlton and I could somewhat 'accept' it - as a side like Carlton won't be challenging anytime soon.

But handing Essendon Stringer on a platter for x2 woeful picks, strengthening one of the opposition clubs who will be pushing for a Top 4 spot like us? It doesn't make sense to me. You don't give up quality to make your direct opposition stronger without getting something good in return.

Even if it turns out we get Pick 16, that's still ordinary.

If I was as close to a premiership as the Crows are - I'd be satisfied with Gibbs for 10 and 16.
Draft picks are overrated in comparison to gun players.

Works for both parties, 10 & 16 are worth more to a club like Carlton with their list profile. Gibbs will still be a gun mid for 2-3 years - and then you move him to half back for his last couple, setting up the play.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

It's funny but it could be that the trade we didn't see coming last week; Gibbs to Adelaide, may be the catalyst for the domino effect. Picks to Carlton and Stringer gets done and when the Crows get Gibbs they are more likely to release Cameron and likewise Carlton to give a bit of ground on Kennedy.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

They can't as they already traded away their 2018 second round pick.

They have GWS' second round pick from the Smith deal.

If we trade them a 3rd round 2018 pick (they don't currently have one) they can trade their 2018 first.

It seldom ever pays to be a solid citizen but you have to live with yourself.

I had a GF who used to say "My darling. I have a list in my head of the things that are going happen and a list of the things that aren't going to happen. That ain't/is going to happen" it's funny but she was always right.
