You have 9,28 and 80 something

What do u give them for 16? That actually helps Carlton land two players this year
Stringer, in the first scenario.
Unlikely, I really don't think Stringer goes there.
 
Not sure how I’m in a tizz, I’ve been saying it all week if you’d like to go back through the thread.

Gordon told them he was to approve the Stringer trade, and he vetoed the deal. Moronic move.
In your imagination perhaps.

Connors is a flog, it is nice being on the other side for once however some of his tactics to get what he wants are very questionable.
yeah but he is not employed by any of us and from what I understand is one of, if not the best at getting exactly what his client wants

How's he doing so far with Stringer?

Trade period isn't over yet Lul
I reckon Connors will be on the phone to Dodoro turning the screws to get Essendon to sweeten the deal. No love lost there though, so Connors will be sweating now. He's burned his bridges with the Bulldogs, at least for a while. If you play hard ball sometimes you get smacked in the chops.

We've been on the end of some reaming from him in recent years. As fans we all hate him. As fans we all say he hates our club. As fans we all look to see who else on our list is managed my him and we worry. And now 2 years later he's in our court trying to help us get a player.

He only cares about his clients.

And I doubt we are changing our offer. We don't have much wiggle room unless you suspect we will give up a future first which I reckon is unlikely

We were on the other side of this with Connors 2 years ago with Ryder. We said exactly the same sort of stuff but all it did was enhance his reputation for getting what his clients want.

Well that is his job I guess. He might have done Jake a disservice this time though. Tomorrow will be fascinating.

And I agree you won't improve your offer. The odds of Jake being traded have lengthened considerably. Who knows, Carlton might be in the picture for him now. Jake met with SOS not long after the idea of a trade was put to Jake. Connors will drop off Essendon and switch to Carlton or Geelong in a heartbeat if that gets a deal done.

Sweeten it with what? A fourth rounder? Ben Howlett?
 
If the trade falls through, which it probably won't still, Connors is definitely the biggest loser in the short term. But if Jake came back and had a good year, then the offers for 2018 contract wise will be higher so he could get a bigger cut.
