Traded Jake Stringer [traded to Essendon]

[evo]

This x 1000.

Still dining out on nailing every pick in 89, did SFA since except for one late pick being used on Harris (Lake).

Dalrymple is a billion times better at drafting.

Greg Miller the same. Dined out on the Carey pick for a decade.

Has Stringer nominated Essendon yet?

I'm just worried someone might swoop, apparently we aren't upping our offer

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Dodo never gets anything done. No chance of doing all 3. Probably won't even get one done. Hard to deal with

 

[hoianbulldog]

It will help Stringer that he doesn't have to be surrounded by druggies like Liberatore anymore.

That is the post of the internet coming from an Essendon supporter if you are serious. Surely that is just bait you throw out.

Our players only take the drugs that they are told to

Hard to deal with if he isn't getting the right deal for Essendon - which is fair enough. It seems to me that there is levels in this trade business, and Dodo sits above all others. For the time being anyway. That is my read.

Time to bring our boy home.

Bait as in jailbait - like Jake had to put up with at the Bulldogs?

 

[hoianbulldog]

Only time will tell who won the Stringer trade. If his career trajectory follows the last 2 years then we have pulled your pants down big time. If he is consistently Stringer circa 2015 (week in week out over a long period) then 17 other clubs, including mine will be ruing a missed opportunity.

Not sure what you are saying?

I think the real test will be who has the better career going forward out of Josh and Jake, I accept there is a question mark over Jake's defensive efforts but I think he might be one of those players that has suffered from having too much success too early aka 2015 AA selection.

He might still stay.

Congrats on landing Saad Smith and Jake. They should all make a contribution to your side.

Congrats on landing Schache and Boyd. They should both...

heck I really couldn't think of anything positive.

After not having a tall forward since Simon Beasley the doggies now have Cloke, Schache and Boyd.

Russell Crowe's band was called 20 odd foot of grunts.

Your forward line will be called 20 odd foot of soft campaigners.

It's all a ploy from Bevo to make him play harder.

Rather than a forwardline assistant coach, they'd be better off employing a counsellor.

 

[JayJ20]

Never thought that both Essendon and Bulldogs would come out of this okay. Dogs really salvaged it by getting Schache while keeping pick 16.

 

[andrewb]

Rather than a forwardline assistant coach, they'd be better off employing a counsellor.

Come on man, the 20 odd foot of grunts / 20 odd foot of soft campaigners line was pretty good. You've got to admit that.

Seriously? You get a compliment and reply by being a complete smart ass?

I couldn't care less we gave up Stringer, or for two second rounders

The fact Essendon fans are now gloating and being immature pricks (A word would be more appropriate right now) about the whole thing
No wonder they are fast tracking to be my most disliked

You had a good trade period, embrace it with dignity, move on instead of being a complete dick

I like it and I was agreeing with you. You obviously needed a bit more obvious agreement, so I've given you a like.

Two of those played big roles in Premierships .. why can't you just be happy instead of acting like a dick?

Absolutely shit comment. Not funny at all

 

[TDay]

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"

Gawddamit it has started already

As opposed to the grace posters like TiAn_ BRWB and gordo2016 displayed during the last 2 weeks?

Let's not pretend if the situation had gone the way the Dogs fans said it would that they wouldn't be in here flogging it up and there is no way you would be here telling them off for gloating and being immature pricks.
