Traded Jake Stringer [traded to Essendon]

If 2018 first is used then all of dodoros good work has been decimated.
We have a very average midfield and we cop a few injuries we could slide significantly.
We will also have a harder draw next year.
You would not want a poor year and risk missing out on rankine lucousious walsh king twins or hill.
I think pick 25 and 2018 second rounder may be fall back plan for both sides.
got no idea on the rules but from reading some comments here if we move out of next years 2nd round we need a 1st and a 3rd (which we dont have a 3rd)

my idea if Dodo blinks first is
25/30/2018 GWS 2nd

for

Stringer/2018 WB 3rd and 47 (if the rumors are true you are only using 2 live picks you dont need 47)

for me tho... 2018 1st stays off the table.
 
In a truly aussie way, I feel like all this insult slinging has only brought us closer together.

This thread has been the ultimate catharsis. Haven't laughed this hard in months.

That's one take.

I'd say you were pretty clear that you wanted him out and Stringer was pretty clear about his unwillingness to stay.

This attempt by the Bulldogs to say "nah, it's all good, he can stay" is one of the most spectacular reverse ferrets of all time.

In the very first announcement the Dogs said they wanted good compensation.

What has changed?

One suitor. Stringer has named that as his preferred destination
his manager is pushing for it to happen
Essendon offered good compensation, it was declined and someone else took it

Oh, and Stringer doesn't seem keen to go back to a place that has publicly outed his off-field issues.

A bit has changed.
May not change the Dogs stance, but it's certainly changed their hand.
 
So Jake's happy to play vfl?

Colour me shocked.

A lazy, gambling addict footballer is ok with getting paid $500,000 to jog around in the magoos.

That option sounds like his number 1 preference ahead of essendon

For a lazy footballer, he kicked 66 goals over the past two seasons which leads me to the question of just how good will he be if he ever puts in an effort.

Who at the club outed these issues, is Abbey Gilmore an employee now?

What did Dodoro want in return though?

You're wrong actually, Fox Sports just reported Stringer's management has a contingency plan and that there's another club ready to do a deal if Essendon don't.
 
What a pathetic performance. 12 days of the trade period already gone. We’re being been thrashed by the Gibbs thread. 44 pages behind. One thing is to be beaten, another thing is to be beaten the way you blokes have been beaten by a trade thread for a trade that was purportedly not happening for a year until this afternoon. gordo2016 , I need that mid September campaigneriness back. None of the sooking I’ve seen in the last 24 hours...

Now look, one wannabe troll, @bwrb went out on the flank and battled against three of theirs Bipolarbear boncer34 and Bunk Moreland and I don’t know what in the name of fortune you’re doing, there's only one thing in shitposting and that's to get in and generate quantity not quality. Just type!! @TiAn You're a disgrace to your board, the way you’re not posting here since you were called out for editing your rage posting. All this trade period, you’ve been swinging wildly. Keep going, and you’ll land a few shots and more importantly, you’ll grow this cesspit of a thread. If you just seethe internally, you’re useless to us.

Jade, a player can be beaten for half a game and come back in the second half. Now you've got to get yourself unbanned and use your tremendous ability to extract tomes of rage from otherwise reasonable opposition supporters. At first when you get reinstated, you'll have to ease into it. Get in there and start abusing all sundry and don’t expect anything else but the same back at you. Get lots of fishies and keep them biting till 2pm tomorrow.

How many times has this ******* trade looked done, only for Gordon to turkey slap JMac or for Dodoro to be a ******* smartarse hard to deal with campaigner who offered pick 11 (yes, yes and 47 for 26) only to take it away like a steroid enlarged, tanned, school yard bully taunting a younger, poorer child with a piece of candy or as it were, a 17 year old school girl. There’s the indicator, there's the barometer of our luke warm reception to this talented footballer but degenerate gambler and philanderer. Not enough yearning for him to run in there and offer a perfectly reasonable future first round pick in a super draft. And then you wonder why it goes bang, bang, bang, right up till 1.59pm. No, throw him down the road to the Cats Doctor Gero Pure_Ownage you know you want him. Tell us what alchemy will be brewed at Shell stadium to make this happen. While we’re at it, who do you guys have pictures of to get pick 19 for Steven ******* Motlop?!

'We're so far into the mess that we have to be desperate to get out of it. And chef Mofra Lance Uppercut Mutt being all civil and reasonable will not get us past that ******* Gibbs thread . Just concoct some baseless absolutist shit that is going to enrage the other side and let the literary slanging commence. Beerfish you’re not a mod anymore so start ******* acting like it.

Have you got that? Just one incendiary insult from each poster, and one response from each one of you. I wonder how many blokes are prepared to go totally with me and take the risk of losing their jobs, getting divorced and wearing adult diapers In the space of 13 days, till this thing is done so that we don’t miss a second of this excruciatingly uneventful trade period. The most exciting thing to date has been Lachie Weller wanting to go home. Woop Dee ******* Do. It couldn’t be worse than it is. Rookie It's disgraceful that you’re out there running along thinking 250 x 1000 is 25,000. Jesus Christ man.

Speaking of which, I've seen Sweet Jesus on his own over there, but nah, don’t sledge him, don’t taunt him, he seems too nice. Just give it to him if it's on. Better still if VogonProsthetnic is coming past give him an almighty spray for his dropping levels of vitriol and rage. Now is not the time for you to wane. Come on mate, if it goes wrong, it goes wrong, at least you’re doing what I asked and at least we’re responsible. But I'm not responsible for the gutless, witless display that's going on in this thread. I don’t know how you can, you can, face one another and carry on as you're carrying on here.

There’s a lot of blokes prepared to run past but not too many are prepared to go in. Dogs and bomber fans alike stop being ******* lurking likers. Dave Runk DERO jmoo I’m looking at you. Go in and get involved blokes. Take the risk, if you make the mistake, if you do it and it doesn't come off, do it again. Do it again. And keep doing it. Keep doing it till you’re threadbanned.

That way, we'll either get beaten by thread deletion (just like the tigers thread about that medal and what it was adorned with that mysteriously disappeared) or we'll win. This way we can’t win. We can’t win this way. We can’t win by doing what you blokes are doing. Post virile strong hateful messages. put your accounts on the line to get the grail. That’s the first thing. If you're in a pack no bullshit witty rejoinders, just nonsensical volume, much like this post. That's the only, only, way to do this. If a moron on your side of the argument gets into trouble, back him up, give him the support and cover him like we do in training. Rationality be damned. That way we've got a chance. This way we've got none.

You stay on the ball BRWB champy mate pal chief buddy tiger hoss. Without your flogginess we’d only be at 100 pages. You too DapperDon DapperJong . Disappointing 3rd quarter from all of you.

If you're feeling tired, if you're feeling tired — just think of BoxGerman. He's threadbanned, he’s not here. He brought his insides up this morning, he’s vomiting in rage that DapperJong is here but he’s not. You weren't at the match committee on Thursday night as I was when we had a big argument as to whether he ought to be in or out and everybody spoke his mind and he finished up out. He's not happy, he wasn't happy about it, who would be? But I can't understand the delusion of some of you Footscray blokes. And even The Package himself has said on the way to his GA meeting in Vegas, “I’M NOT ******* COMING BACK"'.

Do. Don't think, ManOfClay , don’t hope. Do. At least you can come off and say, 'I did this, I was a campaigner , I played the man, not the ball. At least I did something for the sake of the thread. Be a verbose campaigner to those injecting dopers who haven’t won a final for more years than you can count. Don’t think, act. Just be a flog to everyone in this thread. Take no prisoners. The contest is still the same. You must Shitpost to win the longest thread of the trade period. And more than that, to win it, you must cooperate with fellas coming past - don’t meekly accept sense. And you must be desperate enough to look like a ******* **** whilst arguing vainly in the face of sense. The crowd might laugh. It might go wrong. I'm game enough to tell you to do it. Are you game enough to back me up? Are you game enough, yodellinhank , to back me up on that?

For a lazy footballer, he kicked 66 goals over the past two seasons which leads me to the question of just how good will he be if he ever puts in an effort.
In all seriousness, he has the talent to be a top 5 in the comp player.
He showed a few good glimpses this year of how he can breakaway from a stoppage or centre clearance and kick goals from outside 50.
He is dangerous enough in the forward line, but if we can rotate him through the middle too (adding Smith's class and Saad's pace, plus McGrath inside) we're building a good squad.

2 wishes today - Land Stringer, Keep Francis.
 
In honour of Alfred E Neuman I am writing to say that your post was without a doubt the most time wasting diatribe of nonsensical crap ever scribbled down on a computer screen. At no time during your incoherent rambling was there anything that could be deemed close to a rational thought. I award you no points and my god have mercy on your soul.

Also Essendon are a drug cheating bunch of pretenders who are so pathetic they have made the top four once this millennium. F&*king once. How can you be that bad. This is the sport in the world with the greatest equalisation measures of anywhere and you still fu*%ed it up. Even chock full of illegal peptides and god knows what else drugs you couldn't get it done. Shame on you and anyone or anything associated with you. In fact I am going to have a shower after writing this because some of your filth may have somehow rubbed off. BOO Essendon simply BOO
You live in Geelong. Suck shit.

That same information leads me to question if he ever will put in an effort.


Your doe eyed optimist view is one way of looking at it though, sure.

Akin to looking at a guy like steve dank and saying "gee he'd make a great doctor once he knuckled down and went and got an actual medical qualification"

Menzel kicked 73 over the past two seasons and not a taker as a free agent.

Most players aren't lazy when there is a goal on offer. It is the other way that being lazy hurts a team (In Menzel's case it is more the body than the mind though).
 
Who at the club outed these issues, is Abbey Gilmore an employee now?
Direct quote of Beveridge in the HS

“Each player is presented with a different set of challenges,” he said.

“He’s obviously become a high-profile player very early in the piece and when you think of his life, having two young daughters, obviously going through settlement proceedings because he’s not married, and being a boy from the bush, and the city life ... he’s got a lot on his plate, a lot of challenges.

“And maybe it takes a little while to be able to get on top of those things. But he’s got unique challenges a lot of players haven’t had in the game.’’

I don't really care for the rest of the innuendo around 17yo's and whatever.
But when the Dogs put him on the market, it was clear he had some off-field issues impacting both his on-field performance and there was a mutual benefit (in the eyes of the dogs) for him to play elsewhere in 2018. Doesn't have to happen, but would be best if he did.
