I’ll also say one more thing. Prepare to hear him called Jesse Stringer by commentators for some reason. We’ve also just retired a guy called ‘Brad Boyd’ and ‘Marcus Picken’ hasn’t got long left either.

We were never going to win this trade. Could have got pick 1 for him and I’d still be annoyed. Heard rumours but honestly don’t know what caused the breakdown in relationship between Jake and club and what caused it to happen so quickly. If you can fix him you very well could be looking at...

You’re right he does seem that way. I’m hoping he stays. Said since the day this news broke I’d sooner keep Jake than have pick 1 in this years draft and I stand by that. Guess we’ll see what happens. Apologies for cluttering up your thread again. I’ll leave you guys to it.

Neither you or I know what the leaders of my club did or didn’t do for Jake. Behind the scenes at our club is a Peter Gordon and he is a very stubborn man. If we don’t get what we want, which sounds like pick 11, I’d hope we hold our ground in that and not budge.

Or, and hear me out on this, he realises what he’s done wrong and why he’s in the position he’s in now, why the club has given him a kick up the bum and turns it around and has a good year next year. If he still wants out then we get more value and he gets more money. Not saying that that’s...

See he’d be silly to do that, because then he costs himself money.

Plays his arse off next year and he will be.

11 for Saad and 24. 24 to Giants for Smith and Stringer stays at Dogs. Everyone’s a winner!

Agree to disagree. Anyway guys, appreciate your opinions, I’ll leave you in peace. Good luck with it all during trade period, done well so far to attract some good players. Played very attractive footy this year, reminded me of our 2015 season.

Next years first by itself probably gets it done by itself.

Nah that rule starts in 2019 now apparently.

Yeah I don’t see them being out of the race yet. Watts has Port, Sydney, Geelong and Collingwood keen on him.

Geelong still have next years first, 20,33, Motlop compo and whatever they get for Menzel.

I just can’t see Dogs doing that deal. That’s not to say you guys have to pay more, but I think Geelong would come in with an offer at that point. Similar to Deledio wanting cats initially last year but being happy enough to go to GWS. At this stage Stringer will choose you but I doubt that...

I realise it’s your board and all but, instead of an insult maybe point out what parts you disagree with and why.

Fair enough, to each their own. My value in Francis is probably due to a lack of runs on the board. I included the 46 in the Stringer deal because I’d imagine dogs would want a pick somewhere between 11-15 when all is said and done. 23/27 packaged together might get it done, 46 was a sweetener...

I’ve thought a little similar but include just parts relevant to Bombers. 11> GWS Smith,23 > Bombers 28>Suns Saad> Bombers Francis>Crows 27(via Lever Trade) >Bombers 23,27,46 > Dogs Stringer > Bombers Would leave you with bugger all on draft night but all picks available in the draft next...

For a guy like Jake, that’s not a lure. Deep down, it may even be a slight deterrent. I’d say he likes Geelong for their leadership, also might be a Chris Scott fan. He’d like Essendon because they play fast break-neck speed footy which suits Jake to a tee. When we played like that in 2015, he...

Not far off at all, though wouldn’t mind getting your third back our way.

Agree, our club hasn't handled things that well. We might not have leaked it, but we could have controlled the leak better.

Maybe, but sometimes you need to help a guy instead of putting him out on his arse. I don't know the full story, not many do. I don't know what the club has done for him, I don't know if they could have done more. But seems slightly similar to a Stevie J/Alan Didak kinda situation. Troubles...

Yeah the timing of the article was far from ideal, also painted the club in a pretty bad light as well. This time 12 months ago his currency would be enormous. But the closer we get to trade time, the more the media lessen his value. By next Monday I'll be waiting for an early third rounder.

What value do you guys place on Stringer? Be interesting to see whether the article on the weekend affects things or clubs already knew all about it. I'm hoping for 11 and 47 for Stringer and 26.

Good game today guys, Daniher is a beast. Hope he wins the Coleman. Plays footy the right way and doesn't take things too seriously. Really enjoy the way you guys have played this year.

Reputable poster on our board said you guys are keen on Lukas Webb.

Like it or not, your list management team, led by Adrian Dodoro, are perceived by much of the AFL for being prickly to deal with. Any chance you guys could actually live up to that on draft night? If you guys could bid on Setterfield, then Bowes and then draft whoever you like.....
