Traded Jake Stringer [traded to Essendon]

[Justlokan]

Well that pretty much seems to be the case, doesn't it....they've publicly shouted out that he's damaged goods and he needs to move on.

Spot on. Dogs haven't helped themselves by publicly mentioning his relationship issues. On talent alone he's worth a 1st rounder (even more) but supporters have this unfortunate tendency to over-inflate the value of their players without acknowledging why they are on the trade table in the first place.
Being declared tradeable automatically diminishes selling power (being contracted is irrelevant in this instance).

Given the current state, the Dogs should consider a 2018 first rounder plus a 2017 2nd rounder (?)

He is so over rated for what he has actually produced so far.
He has 1 AA year.
Every other year has been average.
He only averages 13 touches a game.

his off field issues aside, he cant handle being the main target. if he goes to geelong or Essendon there are other options around him. he'll be a better player......if he sorts himself out.

 

[Great8]

I am hoping he picks North actually

Why?
No way on earth are you getting pick 4 off them

I'm hoping clubs low-ball us, as we would baulk at trading him for significant unders and keep him.
Geelong (who don't have the currency and have other targets) and Essendon (who have the Dodo) being the two touted clubs interested in Jake help this scenario significantly.

They can have Daw as a straight swap, Dogs fans would be happy with that.

Slightly off topic but wouldn't keeping him put player harmony at risk? I know players don't have to be BFFs with all their team mates but if this results in factions within the playing group (given that Bevo apparently doesn't want him) it makes it more difficult for the team to work together.

 

[DapperDon]

Stringer on, and just a coincidence that Dodo is there also?

Staying in Vic, sounded like he is very happy to come to Essendon

That would really depend on the underlying issues.

 

[JayJ20]

So Bulldogs wanted to get rid of Stringer? It seems like they initiated the trade talk. Connors said that Stringer did not request a trade.

Why go so public about it? Will certainly get unders for him now.

Not if it delivers a public smackdown on his market worth. Rumours suggest it's primarily a professionalism issue. Still a lot to play out with Jake, might work might not.

If that is the case (of going unders), it opens the possibility of other Victorian clubs outside Essendon getting nominated by Stringer. It doesn't sound like from the interview that Geelong is a favourite in any sense of the word.

What is he worth in a trade after today's revelations?

Essendon would almost be paying overs with their first round pick.

What revelations? we really haven heard anything we didn't already know.

Today confirmed a few things, i.e. a few issues with professionalism this year.

Given he's contracted for 2018 I doubt we'd accept unders. I'm hoping we only get unders offers for him and therefore keep him. There is more chance of Stringer turning it around than of any pick we get being as good as Stringer 2016 was, less chance that draftee gets to Stringer 2015 AA levels.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Second round pick. Remember the Crameri trade? "Come on Dogs just do it, stop being difficult."

In your position, I would hope for the exact same and keep him.

Looks like a pick in the teens or an early second with a decent player at this stage.

It seems odd that he had an exit interview with little to no drama and then he's put up for trade a week later.

 

[daffo]

Stringer not giving anything up regarding his club of choice.

Sounds like to me

65% Geelong
35% Essendon

 

[daffo]

Any questions that Jake isn't comfortable with he just looks over to Connors.

 

[DanA]

"A lot of Melbourne clubs appeal, it's just about meeting them over the next 2-3 weeks".

I think Damian Barrett needs to do a better job, that doesn't tell me that Geelong is his preferred destination.

I see it as closer to 55-45
