Traded Jake Stringer [traded to Essendon]

[Damon_3388]

I see him as a younger, quicker and tougher version of Wingard

Lol

Quicker? You serious?

 

[go you pups]

Pick 21 for Stringer?

Worth a look at least.
Hopefully we get some out of Rockliff, Kelly, Smith and Stringer.

Motlop is sure to be linked to us as well.

Allen Christenen and Rhys Stanley were both traded for a pick 21

Christenen and Stanley.......

 

[Frank Gallagher]

straight swap for Kelly isn't gonna happen.
id be surprised if he agreed to go interstate, and really isn't a pressing need for Adelaide.

Collingwood would probably give up 6.
Carlton would probably give up 3 (and maybe expect your 2nd in return)

I wouldn't give up pick 6, i might offer up next years first though and pray we climb the ladder.

Not a chance. 3 is reserved for Kelly or the draft.
He probably doesn't fit the culture that the team are building towards.

Christenen and Stanley.......

Awful logic.

Mitchell went for 14 so i guess there's no way Stringer holds more value right?

 

[Sydswans666]

If we could shed some cap room somewhere i'd grab him.
Dogs can take our first rounder pick 10-18, if it were 14-18 i'd expect we 'd have to give a bit more.

 

[foj1]

How far off would an Essendon firsts plus Gleeson or Laverde type.

Pick 12 is enough if he nominated us

 

[bigblackboz]

His value is going to be interesting.

Mid sized forwards are less valuable.

Obviously has issues which aren't disclosed.

Plays VFL at times.

Seems to have done better in seasons where the Dogs have done poorly.

Not sure the dogs will get a top 5. Probably 6-15 imo.

It's a hard one and I'm not sure there isn't far more going on.

 

[foj1]

Did you just compare the B grade out of contract Crameri with drug suspension hanging over him to Stringer? Oh I see, you say you're not comparing them but thought you'd just mention it all the same. Lol.

Ah m8, you've been suckling at the teat of Satan (Dodoro) for too long.

A lot to play out - and like every clubs fans and list managers and many player managers I guess I just hope our leaving player doesn't choose EFC

Do EFC fans wonder why they rarely land a big fish in a trade?

Landing big fishes has been impossible for a while.
You got Crameri we ot Merrett.
I am happy enough with that one.
If stringer was wanted by bombers and vice versa our first round pick would be spot on I believe.

 

[HTPunter]

Reckon he'll stay. Tough year but Dogs need him and will work hard to keep him despite any 'committment' issues.

 

[Mego Red]

That doesn't sound like a player who's been playing in the VFL.

I really dislike Chad Wingard, but he's as tough as they come. That game where the Hawks laid into him and Hodge tried to make him earn it in a very questionable way just fired the kid up, he was great.

I agree with the Jake Stringer/Ablett Sr comparisons, except he's got 25% the talent and 100% the attitude issues.

 

[Pykie]

North will probably offer 21 + Goldstein.

That would be the best offer the bulldogs could probably hope for tbh.

Can't see too many suitors.

I can see heaps of suiters, too talented a player to not have a dip.

The issue will be that most teams will try to undervalue Stringer ad the Dogs will have to fight for value.

Yeah, I wasn't meaning suitors in general.

Just at the price range.

The Dog's board going on about "we'd probably take North's #4 pick", are dreaming.

He'd be worth pick 4, 2 years ago off of his AA year.

Late first rounder is his value now imo (14-20), that could even be generous tbh.

Clubs aren't unaware of his personal situation and it's the Dog's shopping him, not Stringer.

That's a good joke

Spot on. One good season 3 years ago and apparently he's worth a first rounder?!
Doesn't chase, spent weeks in the seconds.
This guy is more likely to be delisted in 3 years than on an AFL list.

 

[skelly12]

opinions are like arseholes... everyone has one
The general consensus from a lot of media is it's a low first round pick. I think what Stringer has shown so far is that he was worth pick 5 which is where we drafted him. Getting pick 5 in a trade seems very fair and realistic as he has lived up to the hype.
The more I think of this though the more I think it's Bevo putting a rocket up him to get him motivated. Kind of like what happened with Steve Johnson and Geelong 10 years ago.
Time will tell and hopefully we come out of it a winner.

That wasn't just a rocket, though. Geelong fully intended to trade Stevie. Trades to the Bombers or Pies fell over because he failed his medical at the respective clubs. Both thought his ankles wouldn't last. What a mistake that was!

You need glasses then.

Goldstein ain't leaving and nobody wants to take on his big salary.

 

[Groater]

I will get shot down hard by the saints board for this, but I'd consider adding Ben Long to a trade for Stringer. Adding someone like Stringer makes it a lot harder for Long to get a look in and I know the Doggies were keen on him last year. Not suggesting in the slightest he would be the centrepiece of any trade.

 

[The 747]

Pick 12 is enough if he nominated us

Probably.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

I would say that North would be willing to pay a fair chunk of the salary in a situation like this.

Christenen and Stanley.......

Ouch.

 

[BPikkers]

I fear that sounds like something my team would do.

And ours
