They're not going to win the ******* flag. They made finals this year because it was a weak season across the table for everyone except Adelaide & Richmond.
This. Got spanked in the finals, waste of a top 8 spot.

Even we beat them and we were struggling.

Christ, even the Lions beat them at Etihad! Bombers are the definition of overrated.

I would not discount it. Nobody gave Richmond a chance at the start of the year.

Would rather not get anything for Stringer than see Essendon win the flag next year.

We’ll fold. Maybe North are worth talking to. Accelerate their rebuild with some top 30 picks, we’ll take pick 4.

No way Stringer will be back. I’ll cry with joy if Jake doesn’t get traded.

Do we have the balls to face stringer?
Bevo and the players all said they would welcome him back so yes.
Plus i have no doubt it's connors doing all the pushing. Deep down Jake will still want to stay. You don't look the way he does and not care. Sure he may be hurt but i have no doubt things can be forgiven.

Also the only way he doesn't derail 2018 is if he signs early. Need a big pre-season from him.

Fun day tomorrow. Would really prefer Jake as far away as possible but enjoying the intrigue with the Bombers. if Connors and Jake so set on him not being at the dogs, maybe they best get Jake on a plane and start some chat elsewhere and damn fast. Originally I thought we'd get bent over for just a 2nd rounder based on Jake's output the past 2 years. In essence that's all we're being offered as the 2nd pick is useless as Dodoro knew originally with his 1st offer. Happy with us playing hardball though even though it'll mean getting squat next year.

The odds of Stringer remaining a Bulldog just shortened dramatically. And the Essendon crew on the Draft and Trading board have just gone absolutely feral.
Well they thought it was over the line, so are understandably upset, if this results in us folding and accepting the second rounders we don't even want to use Bulldogs supporters will be far more feral I can assure you.

I probably would take a break from here, everyone gets personal on this topic.

Here’s a thought, how about we keep pick 9. What is all this talk about giving up 9, 25 and 30 AND Stringer for West Coast’s pick 13? Am I missing something here, or is the place completely falling apart?

What's their point? Do they really think 25 and 30 is anything more than highway robbery? I'd go over and look myself but I really don't think I could stand it.
