It makes as much sense as your suggestion that Bob's opinion of their behaviour would make a lick of difference.

Welcome back, we missed your ability to swing one comment into two other points that have absolutely nothing to do with it.

(Bob's opinion holding no sway = holier than thou/ keep our current list in tact)

Congrats Plug, that's a tenuous segue even for you

sorry mate but you said the club shouldnt be careful by saying "Who gives a stuff what they are like off the field as long as they can play"...
i agree on paper Stringer is exactly what we want and need but what lays beyond what stringer brings as a footballer is concering. again rumours are just rumours and 99% of us have no idea what the ins and outs of the issues are but what we do know is the issue is bad enough that the Dogs are open to moving him on because of it so to the Bulldogs the "Who gives a stuff what they are like off the field as long as they can play" isnt in play.. he has the skills as a player so the off field must be a concern for the dogs - hence the "buyer beware" everyone should be feeling

Well you can read it anyway you like but I take it as a given the club do all the right checks so when I say who gives a stuff that means after all the checks and balances are done.

Has anyone actually put together a picture on who the ITK's are on this board, if they are 1st hand, 2nd hand info whisperers etc.. and track records?..
Who really cares .....
If their info is good then thats great ..if their info is crap they will get verbally mauled.
It all adds to the entertainment factor and keeps us all interested ..I for one love all the ITK stuff ..whether its true or even not so true ..or somewhere in between.

Just want the club to get the best players available whilst we can with the draft picks and SC space. Not caring to much about being the goody two shoes club or getting the greatest deal ever. Also been in hospital for a few days with pneumonia so I'm bored and pissed off.
Get well soon plugger I hope this is providing you with some entertainment.

When all is said and sifted we all just want the saints to succeed.

Plugger did it start with the flu?.

Where in the collective bargaining agreement does it prohibit clubs asking a player to do that?.

If you think this current young list is in a position where we need to take that kind of risk well your entitled to your opinion.

My position is we don't have any need to take the risk so on balance why bother?.
So if he signs a stat dec & is subsequently found to have lied, what joy does that bring us? None. We dont get our draft picks back & the contract still goes in the TPP...

Well myself obviously and i daresay a few others, but for someone like myself that, apart from the early years, only really visits here at the end of the season, i'd like to have a better picture of who thinks someones ITK rumours are better or worse than others.. keeps things interesting and i too love the ITK stuff.. so apparently you care too about the ITK's..

If Charlie Cameron goes to Brisbane, Adelaide may end up with pick 18.

What are the chances of you guys parting with pick 8 (plus change) for 17 and 18?

You could do something similar with Richmond given they have two late first rounders.

mate i take it as you dont care if the guy makes Ben Cousins look like a sunday school student if he kicks goals he is ok ... nothing about "Who gives a stuff what they are like off the field as long as they can play" says to me "given the club do all the right checks"

If gws accept first and future first for Kelly if take it. Means we have a late first for stringer and maybe a defender in the draft or O'Brian maybe

Plugger is right though.. just because someone has their own demons or recreational habits, doesn't automatically make them a bad person or influence.. attitude, work habit and character do.. you cant have both, no matter how talented they are.. but i'd take Stringer if he met those certain prerequisites.

So for the sake of your argument, you are equating Jake Stringer to a recidivist ice addict.

OK you have convinced me.

Could also help you stay in relatively good standing with the 'must use two first rounders in a four year period' rule that applies (to everyone except Geelong).

No it doesn't
But attitudes can sure rub off on impressionable young people and like trav said we do not need baggage at our club
There would want to be serious serious homework done
Doesn't matter anyway, he won't be coming to us
Josh Kelly will be joining his mates at the saints and stringer can play in a red sash or blue hoops
