Traded Jake Stringer [traded to Essendon]

[boncer34]

As we've said all along, we were looking at other options once we have the Stringer trade finalized.
We were into Schache, now we've been negotiating with WCE for picks.

Mate you said this

We're getting picks we'll actually use as opposed to picks we won't

This is the part I'm talking about. You wouldn't have used 11 or the 3rd?

 

[Mofra]

Devon Smith was worth more than pick 55 if you do the calcs, but we got him. We got him.

That's great but this is a thread about Jake Stringer.

I know Essendon fans more than most think BF is for tit for tat shitfights, but some of us are here for actual discussion.

It's all relative and part of the overall trading landscape. Open your eyes, they're blinkered at the moment.

Possibly - but given the negotiations with third parties was in it's early stages it's doubtful we would have secured the mooted pick swap with WCE for example, and if we have completed the Schache trade a second round pick may have been part of the preliminary discussions (noting pre-trade week Schache's value was floated as being two first rounders).

If you want to admit the truth - yes, Dodoro is hard to deal with so we had to navigate those waters too. Essendon fans have been gloating about how difficult he is after spending the first 100 pages or so trying to pretend he isn't.

Then why'd you bring up GWS?

Just because GWS jump at bad deals, we don't have to.

 

[Great8]

A winning trade is one that benefits both parties and sets up a working relationship for future years.

Like the ones we did with GWS and the Suns?
Melbourne also love us

 

[boncer34]

Possibly

So you'd have possibly used them? Weird that you declared this trades better for you because you're getting picks you'll use then.

TBH I have doubts of Smith - reports he failed the medical at Carlton and GWS were very generous to get rid of him after playing hardball with many other players.
Like Lids last year it's a buyer beware situation IMO.

Saad is a quality rebounder, I don't buy into the "he's a poor defender" talk because GCS defenders were constantly exposed last year and under a better system it won't be nearly as bad. Classic case of a player who p lays much better in a better team.

 

[Mofra]

I know you're trying to petty point score on semantics, but a 16 pick upgrade and a pick we won't use and you expect us to jump at it?
I don't think you understand that two parties have to agree to a deal for it to be even remotely fair.

Enjoy trying to engage in petty shitfights, I'd rather chat to mature posters here for a trade discussion. Thanks.

a pick we won't use

So it's back to definitely wouldn't use it? Cool

Huh? Mate I'm just wondering why you bought GWS into it if you're then going to be upset someone else does the same thing. But you seem upset so I'll stop asking. Have a lovely day Mofra

 

[yodellinhank]

IF...Bombers supporters are gloating over the Stringer "steal"...


THEN...they need to remember why the Dogs are trading him.

This is very good, classic non-sliding doors if/then. Reads exactly like a barrett, one of his more sequitous efforts.

As long as the 'mature' chat reinforces the dogma about Dodoro and doesn't criticise the strategy or behaviour of the Bulldogs, yeah?

 

[samthemanlonergan]

Geez I hope this one goes through today so everyone can just move on with their lives.

^ Thank you for reinforcing my point

FWIW There have been a number of Essendon supporters willing to chat about the deal in an adult way. Unfortunately not on recent pages.

He puts on more jackets when it's hot while everyone takes them off. Shows how far in the future he is.
