Jake is not a player that can be replaced however he hasn't done much for two years. A fit Dickson , Redpath, and four or five others who are prepared to do team things and we're already ahead.

FF: Dickson Boyd Daniel
HF: Dale Redpath Dahlhaus/Mclean/Crameri

And for those who continue to say Adams will go forward please get a clue!
Dickson can't stay fit and is already 30

Redpath has bad knees and can't mark over his head which is concerning.. and keeps getting suspended. He's reasonably accurate when he does get the ball though

Boyd kwwps getting played in the ruck despite not being one.

The others are all midfielders with the exception of Crameri who may still be delisted.

We need some natural forwards, that much cannot be denied

I thought the problem were his lack of commitment to training rather than him being disruptive. What does 'disruptive' mean anyway- clearly he's only disruptive to some and isn't that the sort of things adults should be able to sort.

Which other disruptive s do we need to target ?

The throwing the baby out with bath tub approach doesn't wash with me- why does one player get blamed for our supposed culture problems (do they exist anyway beyond BS and rumour)?

Would like to see more effort made to sort this one out rather accept low ball trades- if Stringer doesn't want to play that's his problem imo- at least the other players can see that we tried to support him and everyone else
Fair enough. I still sit in the:

- I have Stringer trade fatigue
- I have Stringer one-armed bullshit tackle fatigue
- I have Stringer Dad "my poor son" fatigue
- I have Stringer "watch him refuse to even put in the energy in the warm ups over and over" fatigue

I want him out at this point and if we can find a way to get 13 to do it I'll be stoked. Yes it is unders on pure talent and he may be a superstar but I simply don't care!

Don't forget the- my ex missus will media whore the shit out of everything at every opportunity fatigue.

These 3 are probably never going to get back to their best. Dickson was awful last season, some blame injury but I think he’s come to that awkward age where the cliff top is half a step in front of him (Mark Lecras style) Crameri is constantly injured and also is close to the end. It’s been 24months since he has done anything at all. Redpath * sighs is a battler who is overcoming another serious knee injury. He had the turning circle of a truck before now his turning circle will be that of a train. They don’t turn. Plus in what month is he due back.

Dire times my Doggy friends, very disillusioned with commentary about Stringer. Should have always taken the Geelong offer of 20. Now it doesn’t get done which is my preferred option or we get drilled with no lube by a well hung Italian Godfather.
We will be laughing stocks on here for months if this stinking sh1tpile of a deal goes through. Either way our list management team is untenable now.
