Future first..

#delusionlevels

 

[Bulldog1954]

So much boasting about a trade that hasn't happened yet

It will be years before the trade (if one happens) can be fully assessed anyway.

 

[HirdyLannister]

Essendon : Stringer
Cats: pick 26 and 30
Dogs: 19

Cats can take pick 20 to draft and use 26 or 30 for Watts

 

[coxy149]

Wouldn't be surprised if Geelong trade pick 22 and menzel or Lang for stringer

 

[Kaiser Powser]

Could we trade our future 1st if the Dogs gave us their future 2nd back?

 

[Tyler Hodges]

This is poor from a Carlton/North/Stk point of view they can shake this up quite easily.

I don't think they're sitting out of proceedings from the goodness of their hearts...

Dodoro just taking a jacket off everytime he does a trade, Doggies won't know what hit them this week.

 

[Rack Watts]

You honesty think Peter Gordon wouldn't be able to rip apart a strawman argument from Paul Connors? The AFL is a pond compared to the stuff Gordon has been involved with. Just ask British American Tobacco or James Hardie. It won't even come to that, it's a shit claim to shape discourse surrounding the trade.

Lol, hahaha

'Even if you get your man it will be years before you can call it a win.. because stuff'.

And so the retreat begins..

Dodoro isn't taking off jackets, he's shedding.

It's death by Jacket time

 

[Kaiser Powser]

It's not the disagreement, i's the fact he can't get it in his head that Essendon has refused to entertain anything to do with their future first and thinks that it will happen anyway.

To be fair, that was StKilda's stance re: Carlyle pick 5. Recruiters to a lot of posturing.

 

[captain cotch 9]

This kid is over rated.
Sam Lloyd has better career stats than him.
Essendon have done the right thing in not giving up a 1st rounder

Turtles jackets all the way down.

Again, different. St. Kilda were willing to give up pick 5 if a later first round pick came back.

Did you really compare Sam Lloyd to Jake Stringer?

My God.

 

[Ari]

Hahaha cmon Essendon is only concerned with what is good for Essendon. #whateverittakes. Can't believe a club who blatantly cheated has learnt absolutely nothing. But I don't really blame them. I blame the AFL for rewarding the cheating.

11 was on the table earlier in the week but it was never going to be a straight swap deal.

I'm sorry to say, but Jake's issues going public has cost the Doggies some places with the Stringer deal. Everyone in the industry knows this, sorry but it's just the way it is. Revised value a late first rounder not a mid one.

Dogs bawked and Essendon moved the 11 pick on. The Bombers had a shopping list of three players so could not sit on Stringer till Thursday afternoon, just wasn't going to happen. This is not Essendon's fault, at all. Sorry!

 

[Kaiser Powser]

Again, different. St. Kilda were willing to give up pick 5 if a later first round pick came back.

I seem to recall Bains saying it wasn't going under any circumstances. It was clearly bullshit, but it's the main reason we all followed the exchange so feverishly.

Yep.

Every day and twice on Sundays. Why risk stuffing up 2 trades (Smith & Saad) to get 1 (Stringer) done, particularly when his club is being hard to deal with?

EXACTLY.

Essendon had a list of three players who wanted in. They tried for Stringer first up, spent a week negotiating, and couldn't make it happen. There was a gap. Essendon then had to move on two other players on the list, which appears to have been more sensible dealing for all involved.

Now, we come back around to Stringer and there are less options available. Simple as that.

Nah, he said without a first coming back

Yep.

Oh right, I forgot that because your club won the flag all your opinions have to be right.

No - as he said, all it means is that he DGAF.

At least you admit it
