Strategy Trade and List Management thread 4 (Be sure to huddle around your transitor radio at 11 am Edition)

[Norm De Guerre]

lol Damo has read the last 50 pages

Ha! my thoughts exactly. That was an amazingly breathless compendium of this very thread.

Dalrymple V McCartney ✔︎
Player behaviour issues. Libbas on drugs!✔︎ Not surprisingly he danced around that issue.
Jake Stringer. ✔︎

He then throws in the not exactly startling news that Gary Kent never had any intention of being CEO on a permanent basis as a means of eliciting the feeling that the club is once again in crisis. And he wonders why the club chose not to return your calls today.

Definitely the best in the business at trawling BigFooty for a lead.

Be lucky to get 40k members next year. This club is ****ing disaster.

 

[Beasht]

English for those not in VIC and rely on half hour late breaking news?

 

[Pugz89]

Inference being it's the club pushing for the trade, lead by McCartney

I've not seen TFS but I'd be surprised if Bevo and the club are pushing him out without a valid reason. Either it's BS or there is more to the story.

 

[Dogs Rule]

I'm really concerned with us losing two CEOs in short succession. What the hell is going on at our club? I, along with others have poured a lot of money into this club over the years and we deserve to get answers.

We're not 'losing' another CEO. Kent was and is a board member and always said he wasn't a long term CEO.

Jesus, I f****** hate Barrett. It burns him we won a flag while his Norf descend further into irrelevance.

 

[Cadillac]

Who knows. Why jump to the conclusion that he wants to leave?

I don't know? Maybe because Damien Barrett and Stevo have both said that Jake Stringer will be leaving the bulldogs this trade period? Is that a good enough reason to think that?

 

[ossie_21]

Package him up to GC for Lynch.

If he does end up going, thing that will piss me off is that we threw money at him in the early days to pay our cap & now he could go elsewhere to still be paid well, rather than stay at the club that looked after him.

But, he'll stay

 

[Del165892]

Watch us let Jake go for a pick in the 20s.

 

[Pugz89]

I don't know? Maybe because Damien Barrett and Stevo have both said that Jake Stringer will be leaving the bulldogs this trade period? Is that a good enough reason to think that?

Will? That's definitely not what was in the tweet. If you're gonna out words in someone's mouth, then make the positive ones.

 

[Bemoreboyddog]

Who knows. Why jump to the conclusion that he wants to leave?

Sounded more like we're pushing him out rather than him wanting out but now that we've said we want you out, he's filthy and understandably so.

Optimistic.

Burn it to the ground! It's over! It's freakin all over!

Calm down. Don't get sucked in by bull****.

I don't know what Stevo said but Barrett didn't say that at all.
He said we'd explore trade opportunities because we are unhappy with him.

 

[Cadillac]

Will? That's definitely not what was in the tweet. If you're gonna out words in someone's mouth, then make the positive ones.

Help me find something positive in this tweet then?

 

[Mattdougie]

Why are you attacking me?
I simply asked originally if anyone has heard anything re stringers meeting. When another person confirmed that they had, I asked a friend of mine who is close to jake, what he had heard. His version is what I have relayed.
Fyi he has been with the family tonight. Who are just as shattered as most on here.

I'm attacking you coz everything you have said is complete bullshit

Jake is with his family is he? Which family is that?

Because his family live in the bush and Jake is in Melbourne tonight, check his housemates snapchat before you pretend to say where he is because that done proves you are talking crap.

Jake has an exit meeting last week CONFIRMED by Morris on SEN yesterday when he said he had his Friday and he was second last before Murph.

So again am I going to believe you or Jakes housemate and Dale Morris?

Why did you pick jakes meeeting out of the blue and then conveniently know a mate who is close to him? That not only knew but was willing to give you that info?

So if it looks like bullshit and smells like bullshit it's.......

 

[immortalmike]

Sounded more like we're pushing him out rather than him wanting out but now that we've said we want you out, he's filthy and understandably so.

Yeah that's what I gathered. Hopefully cooler heads prevail.

 

[Dav1d]

Watch Jake Stringer tomorrow say he doesn't know where these rumours started..

 

[Unorth]

 

[Randomthoughts]

It wasn't just Stringer. It was literally the entire platter of dirt that s**tstain was allowed to serve up on us in one 2 minute segment. And all of it could be feasibly true. One year after a premiership.

That doesn't annoy the shit out of you? It took about 3 months of an offseason then 20 odd games for any sort of winning attitude and culture in our football club to erode into this shitheap we're now discussing tonight.

This year started with players returning unfit and not ready ( C Smith ) and only got worse from there . Yes , it totally annoys the shit out of me . I have been stating my opinion all season of the team performance and coaching performance . I always felt that Jake would be the first to go . we need a review of all that happened this year , once again, and then come back harder then ever, once again .

 

[immortalmike]

Watch Jake Stringer tomorrow say he doesn't know where these rumours started..

It'd be nice.

 

[Dogs Rule]

I don't know what Stevo said but Barrett didn't say that at all.
He said we'd explore trade opportunities because we are unhappy with him.

We should be unhappy with him as well.

He had an awful year and that's on him. Mature adults cop critical feedback on the chin and they push harder than ever to redeem themselves.

Don't throw the toys out of the cot, Jake. Come back in 2018 and show everyone what you're made of.

[threenewpadlocks]

Correct me if I'm wrong but Stevo's tweet isn't actually saying anything or showing that he has some sort of corroborative knowledge?

He's just saying rumours have become thunder. That's true. There were rumours in the past, and by virtue of TFS, it's become thunder.

But he's not actually corroborating in any fashion whatsoever. I'd wait until it's from a source other than a journalist who quite famously hates our club because we don't facilitate his mud-ranking, bin-diving journalism before I start talking about microwaving memberships and which specific pick in the first round we could obtain.

 

[Dav1d]

It'd be nice.

Until I hear it from his mouth that he wishes to leave, then I'm not going to worry myself over it.
