Re: Stringer Trade Worth

That would be awesome. LW He would be treated with a lot of respect on here.

It would help if some on here would stop bagging BigFooty all of the time. It gets pretty old and is disrespectful to those of us who frequent both forums.

It's certainly not something that is encouraged in fact we often challenge the comments. I tend to think it's a more of a vocal minority than an epidemic.

I was going to try and pull this thread back to on topic before but it's just keeps getting back onto BF.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

I was thinking we should have a pool to see how long before we start to hear about Jake missing rehab appointments and being late for training.

Febuary 12 is my guess.

It's a good post, deserving of reposting. And as I always say we can't have enough good posters. But yeah not a name we mention a lot.

Every time I log on here there are posts deriding BigFooty. There is one about half a dozen posts above this one. I haven't posted on here for three or four years because it pisses me off to see such undeserved smugness. I've never seen a post on BigFooty deriding this forum. Not one.

Sure there is a fair amount of pretty ordinary stuff posted on BigFooty but there is also a hell of a lot of great content. I don't understand why we just can't accept that the two forums are very different; that some people will want to contribute to both; and both forums are good (and bad) in their own ways.

That's fair enough. I was the first mod on the bulldog board on BF back in the day. A lot of the traditions, the names of the awards (naming the Ching was one of mine) so I'm not unsympathetic to the place.

A fair few Mods from BF post here.

Much like his time at the Bulldogs you simply won't hear about it

Yep it goes on far too much. Even with a good post it gets bagged out for no reason.


It's not my cup of tea as there is a bit too much of the yelling and screaming type at times but there are also many fantastic posters there and just dismissing the entire forum is not needed at all.

The 2 forums already happily coexist just let it be.

Once ts out there and everyone knows they are just waiting for it to happen again I reckon.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

You guys know that we posted on BF a long, long time and know the guys who run it pretty well right? Gary and I (and a few others) worked our dates off setting up that site so if anyone has the right to mention it then it's the site that Gary and I run. Anyway it's not like we are organising anti BF street protests. I'm sure BF isn't that stressed about what is said on WOOF about it. Let's just get some perspective here.

But yeah I see your point. No one wants to read constantly negative stuff about something. Except Dodo.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

It's all just lip service.

I heard someone from Essendon say they have the structure and support around Jake to give him the best chance to succeed. The bloke hasn't even started there yet!

So did we.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Jake, whilst not of the belief he had any serious issues has apparently committed to working extremely hard with EFC to counter the issues he doesn’t have.

We can only wait and see, might be the one thing he needed to realise he is stuffing up.
If I was Essendon I would have been asking Connors what had he done to try and help Jake, his manager/agent has a few questions to answer about his part in jakes downfall as well.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Read the paper today. Stringer thinking he can be the "next Dusty"... His manager says they're the same age (23 and 26?!?)... and that Jake has been "upfront with his issues" - even though he was supposedly "blindsided" at being put up for trade, and even though it appears he hasn't been upfront to anyone for 2 years!

I've mentioned it before, but Dusty entered the AFL system with a 14.5 beep test (above average) and was capable of significant midfield minutes during his debut year.
Stringer is 23 and has nowhere near the aerobic capacity of 19 year old Dusty.
