That can’t be right unless they’ve got west coast’s second and third rounders next year. The way the article presents it, they are downgrading their first rounder by 4 spots, and are paying west coast with our 2 picks for the privilege of doing so. Has to be an error in reporting.

for my purposes, it's spot on.

JMac must have had enough of Gordon and regrets extending his contract and is now actively trying to be fired lol.

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Yeah cant really blame JMac it's all Peter Gordon fault he would have over ruled JMac. let the Dogs recruiting team their job you idiot lol

Maybe I'm over analysing it, but nothing came out today saying W.C. said no to exchanging pics (Where it quickly came out that Rich, etc said no). So would I optimistically be thinking that they are working out specifics?

 

[fanuch]

So under that deal they could have 9, 25, 30 OR 13. My head hurts!

My guess would be that the Eagles would include their future first as part of the deal.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

If they get West Coasts first rounder next year it could be a big win. Can't see WC making the finals with who they've lost this year. Could even be bottom 4.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Well it's seems things are getting on track Jakey boy will be an Essendon player in 2 days.

I see you've shocked them into silence.

Yep. That doesn't seem like over-optimism at this point.

Stringer looks very close now to being an Essendon player.

Just listened to TRADE RADIO go on about this transgender woman being unable to nominate for the AFLW draft tomorrow, was cringeworthy as 'the best newsbreaker in the business' had little to no information on the topic let alone a formed opinion.

It is a good idea (Trade Radio), still needs a lot of work to refine it.

Eh I don't respect Barrett but you can't expect him to know everything. And it's a dangerous and complex topic to announce an opinion on.

 

[BomberARMY]

So just a recap, WHEN we get Stringer, we'll have given up 2017 1st & 2nd, 2018 2nd and 3rd for Stringer, Smith, Saad and GWS 2018 2nd? * me this Dodo bloke goes alright...

In a deep draft I'd have thought WC want to keep next year's picks.

 

[WEEVZ]

They're trying to rebuild as quickly as they can which means as many 1st and 2nd rounders as they can get.

 

[vast]

well as long as we are only giving 2 second round picks......still cant work out work what dogs are trying to do with the picks though.

 

[Laverde2Smack]

Hearing deal will be finalised by tomorrow afternoon and will be announced by Thursday morning at latest.

So if the market for inconsistent head case pseudo tall forwards that their clubs don't want is pick 31 and salary relief then the Dogs should take 25 and 30 and run for the hills. They're probably lucky the Watts deal didn't go through earlier, would have only intensified the heat.

implosion

The one thing I didn't really factor in is them being too stupid

 

[Harlequin Dream]

In a deep draft I'd have thought WC want to keep next year's picks.

They also don't want to fill their list with players from the 4th, 5th and 6th round of a weak draft. They are going to have a big year for delistings and retirements. Might as well replace them with quality.

Looks like stringer for 2 2ND rounder.

Jake Stringer’s trade to Essendon nears as Western Bulldogs, West Coast shuffle picks

THE WESTERN Bulldogs have made progress on a pick swap with West Coast which would send Jake Stringer to Essendon.

After two frantic days of discussions with the Eagles, the Dogs are believed to be close to an arrangement which would help them secure a first-round draft pick for the loss of the All-Australian forward.

The deal involves the Dogs accepting picks No.25 and No.30 from Essendon for Stringer.

As the Herald Sun revealed on Tuesday, the Dogs would then on-trade No.25 and No.30, and potentially their own No.28, to West Coast for pick No.13.

The deal would help satisfy the Eagles’ desire to load up with more picks inside the top-50 of next month’s national draft after four senior player retirements this year including veteran midfielders Sam Mitchell and Matt Priddis.

West Coast also possesses picks No.32
But there could be another layer of the West Coast-Bulldogs deal which could help sweeten the agreement further in the Eagles’ favour before Thursday’s 2pm trade deadline.

Under one proposal, the Dogs could give their current pick No.9 in this year’s draft to West Coast.

In return, the Eagles could hand over a future first or second-round pick in next year’s draft back to the Dogs.

Overall it means the Dogs would slide back from No.9 to No.13 in this year’s draft and lose two or three selections in the second round.

But the Dogs would bolster their position in next year’s draft which is widely believed to house one of the best talent pools in recent years.

The Eagles bowed out in the second week of this year’s finals race but could drop down the ladder next year as they look to replenish the list with fresh young talent.

The Herald Sun understands Dogs’ list manager Jason McCartney was still thrashing out details of the deal with Eagles’ list chief Brady Rawlings on Tuesday night.

Negotiations could continue right up until Thursday’s 2pm trade deadline.

The lifeline would help McCartney navigate a difficult situation after Essendon list guru Adrian Dodoro smartly took pick No.11 off the table last week in a trade for Devon Smith.

The Dogs have been under intense pressure to secure a Stringer deal in recent days after surprisingly putting him up for trade last month amid some frustrations with his preparation and behaviour.

Importantly, the deal would with Essendon and West Coast would avoid the ugly scenario where Stringer would be forced to return to the Kennel next year to continue his football career against his will.

While the Dogs have maintained they were happy to keep Stringer to his contract, the situation would create massive distraction for Stringer and his teammates if he remained at the club in 2018.

The acquisition of Stringer caps a stunning trade period for Essendon, nabbing Smith, speedster Adam Saad and, finally, premiership star Stringer.

The talent injection was designed to give the resurgent Bombers a genuine crack at a top-four spot next year.

Is theirs a rapidly aging list? By that rationale it seems like they're more interested in a so-called shallow draft then, than a deep one, just because it's one year sooner.

Christ, I've forgotten what expectation feels like. Already nervous/excited reading that.
