How about we just keep stringer if he chooses not to return that's fine he can commit career suicide as he won't be able to play elsewhere without permission from the club and given his unprofessionalism a year off which would include him being lazy would kill his career or he can come back work his arse off and prove everyone wrong and leave next year or stay

According to McClure deal is done. Stringer to Essendon for pick 25 and Colyer

Wasn't even a good Photoshop image.

 

[Mingo]

Hold fellas I saw that on the Stringer megathread but looking on his twitter I don't see it. So may not be true or it may have been taken down.

If true that is disgraceful

 

[Rookie]

Why not 25, 30 and a future 2nd/3rd for Stringer and our future 4th.

Then package 25+30 to the Blues for 16.

 

[Mingo]

Wasn't even a good Photoshop image.

Apologies

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Apologies

Haha, would be filfthy if told by word of mouth though.

[CaptainMurphy]

Seriously, it gets worse and worse this Stringer deal. Stringer and picks 25 and 30 for pick 10 or 16? That means Stringer is currently worth about 70 or 80. Are you serious?

What? It's Stringer for 16. 25 and 30 are from Essendon.

 

[Dog 36]

Gibbs deal may be Pick 10 and a second round 2018 from Adelaide.

Kennedy from GWS for second round 2018 (from above)

So Gibbs gets the Blues pick 10 and Kennedy

Jake is worth more than the above.

Stringer gets us 25 and 30. So it’s Stringer for 16 essentially.

Dude that's not funny
That deserves a week suspension minimum

 

[Zephiisdaman]

Dire times?

Hate to see what you would be posting if we hadn't have won a flag for 60 years....

You can look back and say we are happy with one flag and be pleased with that.
For me as glorious as that period was, it’s now well and truly history.

Let’s face it we have hardly created a dynasty that most of us expected we would do.
Missing out on the finals in 17 was as close to the greatest fall from grace of any team ever.

So we can keep going with the status quo, make the same mistakes over and over and hope things change. In my experience that doesn’t happen. If you don’t adapt to change or have no plan b,c or d then you are doomed to fail.
There is a saying along the lines of “a plan set in stone is a plan doomed to fail”
We as a club need to be more adaptable or believe me we will languish.
If we have another lacklustre year with little change, miss out on finals again then yes it will be dire.

I agree ....... you had me sucked in!

No it isn’t, 25 and 30 are not 16. 16 is 16 forget the points crap.

 

[Yojimbo]

I’ve asked this before, but no one answered, why don’t Essendon throw a player(s) into the deal? Is Dodoro that moronic?

We have not got the list spots to use these marvelous picks
let alone take on more players. The forward planning on this
is well backward to say the least.

I had physio yesterday and the physio was an Essendon
supporter even he could not see the logic in wanting Jake
Stringer when they have so many similar types as it is.

 

[Zephiisdaman]

Yep. I'd be asking Essendon for their 2018 first (unless of course we have no intention of ever letting Stringer set foot in the place again.)

This should be our last offer, if not taken then we walk from Essendon. No hard feelings, a deal can’t be reached. Move on.

 

[Bemoreboyddog]

No it isn’t, 25 and 30 are not 16. 16 is 16 forget the points crap.

You mustn’t have read what I replied to.

Couldn’t we delist somebody though.

 

[Doggies_13]

Couldn’t we delist somebody though.

Even with delisting Crameri and Honeychurch we'd only have 4 list spots and from all reports one of those is promised to upgrading Smith. so with 9 and 28 we could only use one pick or a player not a player and pick or 2 picks

 

[ivan rassmussen]

TRADE SHOCK: Stringer traded to... the Bulldogs?!?!

 

[Braybrook Son]

Seriously all the other clubs should just refuse to trade with Essendon and that moron Dodoro, I’ve even got Essendon supporter mates who think he’s a tool

Seriously you can go on all day about dynasties and doom but the fact is that last time we had a big upheaval it set the wheels in motion for us to win a bloody premiership mate!
The only languishing I can see at the moment is being done by you. Cheer up because we still have the Bont and he's worth two Stringers and change and we have Bevo who is a once in a generation coach!

I read it but for us two 2nd rounders don’t equate to a first round pick. West Coast might want two second rounders and that’s fine. We have already seen a deal like that with Dunkley/Collins picks when we could have in effect got Curnow. That’s all hindsight but I know now who I would prefer to have. Dunkley is ok but doubts must be very high on Collins ever becoming a quality player.

Trading Carlton's 16 for 25 and 30 is quite a realistic scenario given they need a pick between 25-30 to land Kennedy. This has nothing to do with points.
