Re: Stringer Trade Worth
The latest quote on the AFL site:
Stringer's VFL vow
Wantaway Bulldogs premiership player Jake Stringer would be prepared to spend next season playing for the Dogs' VFL team if the club refuses to trade him, according to News Corp.
Talks between the Bulldogs and Stringer's preferred destination Essendon have stalled, with West Coast refusing to agree to a side deal with the Dogs.
The Bombers' final offer is picks No.25 and No.30, which the Bulldogs had hoped the Eagles would agree to take in exchange for their pick No.13, but the Eagles haven't yet come to the party.
The disillusioned Stringer, who was put up for trade and was publicly criticised by the Dogs for his unprofessional approach, doesn't want to return to Whitten Oval.
Regardless of whether Stringer gets to Essendon, former Bombers chairman Paul Little believes the recruitment of ex-Giant Devon Smith and former Sun Adam Saad would help take the club to the "next level".
"We have now, I think, a record membership and what appears to be a real shift in these potentially really key players wanting to be a part of the Essendon story," Little told News Limited.
"I think Essendon supporters and members are justified in feeling excited and are enjoying the euphoria of what has been a really good year on and off the field."
