List Mgmt. NO DISCUSSION. 2017 Rumours & Facts thread

[businessfish]

THERE has been no indication Western Bulldogs premiership player Luke Dahlhaus could leave the club, his manager Peter Lenton says.

Some speculation has circulated suggesting the midfielder could leave the Dogs.

Jake Stringer has already been asked to search for a new home, with Geelong and Essendon the front-runners.

However, Lenton told NAB AFL Trade Radio on Monday he had not received any indication the 25-year-old would be moving on.

"He is contracted and I have not had one conversation with the Bulldogs that would suggest he's doing anything other than staying where he is, and he actually loves the club," Lenton said.

"I'd be surprised if there was any form of conversation in relation to Luke, but it's a funny time of the year.

"I know in dealing with Sam Mitchell last year, I never would've expected that, so you can never say never, but the tea leaves are telling me that he's at the Bulldogs and I couldn't envisage that he'll be anywhere else for next year."

I was just about to post this here, glad someone beat me to it! Good to put this rumour to rest.

"The Dogs have made it clear they will not accept a second-round selection for Stringer and will attempt to keep him at the kennel next season without adequate compensation.

Essendon has tabled a slightly better financial offer than Geelong for Western Bulldogs forward Stringer, according to The Age.

The Bombers are moving towards a deal with the talented forward two weeks after he met with the Cats.

Stringer reportedly met with Cats coach Chris Scott, skipper Joel Selwood and Brownlow medallist Patrick Dangerfield as part of a presentation during preliminary final week.

JAKE Stringer's management insists talks with interested clubs haven't stalled, despite explosive allegations about his off-field life.

The premiership forward has met with Essendon and Geelong in recent weeks, after the Western Bulldogs informed Stringer's management he was on the trade table.

Stringer had previously stated he would make an announcement on his preferred destination as early as last week.

But the Bulldog is still mulling over a decision.

To add to that, Stringer has had to deal with a raft of allegations from his former partner, which include excessive gambling and infidelity.

Stringer's manager, Paul Connors, wasn't willing to comment on his client's personal issues but admitted the 23-year-old was struggling.

"I don’t think he's finding [the process] that great at all," Connors said on Tuesday.

"I think that's a really private matter that I don't really want to touch and I don’t think anyone should really.

"He's just working through it as well. He's had a whirlwind few weeks, he's got a few issues that he's dealing with and he'll address that in due course.

"In time he'll make a decision on where he thinks is best for his football."

Connors said there was no rush for Stringer to make a decision on his future.

There have been reports that Essendon is the front runner, but Connors said that wasn’t necessarily correct.

Could have placed this in the Stringer thread but here goes.
Obviously there's more to come out about the reasons for Stringer being on the trade table. I've heard from a second hand unsubstantiated source connected to the club that he was late for training multiple times and was given formal warnings regarding same. Stringer actually denied this at his AFL interview. Hopefully, once the dust has settled, we can replace such rumours with some facts.

"Crameri only managed two senior games in 2018 due to ongoing hip issues, but Sam McClure believes that the Magpies are showing interest in pairing him with Darcy Moore.

“I think Collingwood are asking the question about Stewart Crameri,” he said on SEN Breakfast."

"Elsewhere, McClure says that the Bulldogs have re-kindled their interest in Brisbane ruckman Stefan Martin."

Also Dodoro says they are interested in Crameri, slightly: https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/es...d/news-story/0bae07386936bb65a39c9a6d92057b0b

It’s a play on words. Stringer wasn’t technically “late for training” as such but more “very late to get on the track “ and staying in the change rooms doing god knows what whilst his teammates had commenced drills etc.

Here's D'Orazio his manager talking about Stringer if you wanted to listen to it.

WESTERN Bulldogs will keep Jake Stringer at the club next season if they cannot secure a satisfactory trade deal for the star goalkicker.

The Bulldogs are targeting a top-10 pick for the All-Australian forward and remain adamant he will not be moved on for a discounted rate, despite some recent personal issues.

Stringer, 23, was sensationally likened to Gary Ablett Sr for his marking power and freakish goal kicking as he helped steer the Dogs to a stunning premiership last year.

But his trade worth has been questioned over the past fortnight amid explosive allegations from his former partner, Abby Gilmore, in the Herald Sun about some personal problems.

Stringer has vowed to address the on and off-field shortcomings which contributed to his inconsistent form this year.

The 192cm excitement machine is expected to decide between Essendon (pick No.11 and No.28) and Geelong (pick No.20 and No.33) as his preferred new home for next season.

But premiership list chief Jason McCartney said Stringer was going nowhere unless the Dogs received adequate compensation for a player of his immense talent and age.

Greater Western Sydney kept key forward Cameron McCarthy against his wishes for one season in 2016 before trading him to Fremantle in a swap for pick No.3 late last year.

“We have said we are happy to explore any options that Jake may have but if we cannot achieve a satisfactory agreement with another club he will remain with the Western Bulldogs for another year,” McCartney said.

“We are very clear on that. Jake is contracted for next season and we would look forward to him playing with us in 2018 if a deal doesn’t work out over the next few weeks.”

The Dogs are eager to jump back into the finals next season and want to claim versatile Port Adelaide ruckman Jackson Trengove when the free agency period begins on Friday.

They are also eyeing speedy Power ball-winner Jarman Impey and Fremantle high-flyer Hayden Crozier to help cover Stringer’s potential departure.

The Bendigo product, who was taken with pick No.5 in the 2012 national draft, is expected to sign a four-year deal at a new club in the vicinity of $2.2 million.

He has booted 160 goals in 89 senior matches.

Manager Robbie D’Orazio, from Connors Sports, said Stringer had learned from his mistakes this season.

“He had a few injuries along the way and he was getting multiple injections to play week in week out in the premiership year,” D’Orazio told the AFL website.

“I think the body and mindset do work hand-in-hand.

“The professionalism he probably let himself down in aspects of his game, just through time management and a few things he could have done off-field to make himself better.

“But he will learn from that and he will comeback bigger and better.”

The Dogs have a preference to secure a deal for Stringer in the early part of the trade period, which officially kicks off on Monday.

But talks could drag on into the second week if Essendon refuses to hand over its first pick in exchange for Stringer.

Geelong’s efforts to nab Stringer and significantly bolster its attacking set-up also hinge on the Cats’ bid to claim Gary Ablett.

The Suns want a replacement player and as much as $300,000 to part with Ablett who, like Stringer, is still contracted for next season.

Stringer said he was initially “shocked and upset” to be put on the trade table and wants a fresh start at a new club next season.

He has already begun boxing in the off-season and wants to play an expanded midfield role.

“There’s still a lot of ways to go in where I end up playing footy next year but I’m really confident that I can get back to somewhere where my best footy is,” Stringer said.

So I've made a few changes. I moved all the rumours and speculation stuff to the 2nd post below the OP and left all the confirmed changes in the opening post. It just makes it easier to edit and easier to read as well.

You will also notice I included a new title, Confirmed Trade & Free Agency moves.

The Bulldogs have asked for pick 11 in exchange for Jake Stringer, according to Essendon's Rob Kerr.

Kerr said pick 11 "will have to be involved somewhere along the line" in order for the club to bring in all the players they want, including Devon Smith and Adam Saad.

"We've obviously had a chat to the Bulldogs ... we're keen to get a deal done," he said.

But he wouldn't confirm whether a future draft pick would be on the table in any trades and said he didn't believe any other deals hinged on the Stringer trade.
