Mental health? Wow. Feeling sorry for yourself because you played around with a 17 year old girl while your wife was pregnant with your second child... maybe it's just that.

Yeah nah. We don't pay him. Jake issues proceedings and everything comes out - salary takes another hit. I doubt Jake is that stupid. Another fake news story from Connors.

Huff and puff.

It does the media's collective head in that the Dogs don't talk.

Latest deal as I see it.

Dogs lose Stringer & 18 3rd rd
EFC loses 18 1st rd. (But have full complement of later picks).

Bombers back themselves for the flag. Dogs back them to miss the 8. Adds another reason to barrack against EFC next yr.

fake news? mental health issues aren't a new topic at the dogs this year.

If Jake is kept at the bulldogs next year he’d be the only employee in Australia that has been told he isn’t wanted but isn’t allowed to leave.

If we trade you our 3rd rd next yr you can trade next yr's first as you'll have 2nd, 3rd and fourth rd 18 picks.

Keep track of things m8, it ain't that hard.
Yeah nuh you're right sorry.

Fine then, you can have our 2 2nd round picks this year our 1st next year for Stringer and your 1st next year, gees you are a tough customer.

How do you not pay him?

Any employee gets paid for stress leave. How would this be different?

Most likely deal will be 25 and 30 for Stringer.
Absolute best outcome the dogs might be able to squeeze our 2018 1st pick if they sent their 2018 back.
I reckon that deal has long sailed. Last week. New deal is 25 for Stringer. Then 30 for Miles.

Geelong have 19 and 20 I believe so if they put their hand up for Stringer then he will go there. BUT they're not going to do anything until Ablett is done. If GC don't do the Ablett deal till the 11th hour then the Doggies may have already taken unders for Stringer at 25.

2-3 weeks ago Stringer was worth 11. Last week he was worth about 19, bang on to Geelong's pick. But we shall see whether they want in to this game.

Pick 11 is worth 1329 points.
Pick 25+30 is worth 1385 points.

But, if Essendon wouldn't trade 11 straight up last week then why would they do the same points deal now?

I can just see Dodoro telling Connors Stringer is a low priority.
And yet as John Stringer said we've been really supportive of Jake.

Looks like we did learn our lesson in 2012-2015. Really supportive of a low priority potential player. What a club.

Essendon won't get Stringer for just pick 25.
They have offered 25 and 30 and aren't going to deviate too much from that. It's all about another club giving up a first rd pick for those picks to satisfy the Dogs.

of course you're supportive! you want him to sign @ your club. i wonder how supportive you'll be when he's turning up late to training, not being a team player, being unfit, not preparing well and sleeping with 17 year olds when his second wife is pregnant with his fourth child...

We are not using next year's pick under any circumstances.

We'll probably deal with it before it gets to that.

Thanks for the question though :thumbsu:
