Recruiting Trade & Free Agency V

[Walesy]

Maybe I wouldn't know, but given as a club they rejected 11 & 47 for Stringer and 26 (now 28) it would hilrious to then see that same club claim a lesser trade of 13 & 50 for 26 and Stringer a win.

If they accepted the first offer and claimed a win it would have at least been a mildly palatable plate of bullshit.

Don't get me wrong, it would still reveal some very telling truths about the inner workings of the club if it did come to be.

One last brave run by the Dogs fans.

Shame they're on aliases. merge with norf will do them well.

If we only need to give up two second rounders for Stringer then this is Dodo's masterpiece.

Our first and second in a 'weak' draft for three best 22 players, all age 23/24.

Seems good.

Jesus Christ guys, stop feeding them.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

If the Bulldogs are actually only taking two picks into the draft like their fans keep claiming, why not add their pick 26?
If the difference between 15-40 is a minimal as they say then 3 picks in the 20-30 range could be worth it.

West Coast
Get: 25, 26, 30
Give: 13, 50

Bulldogs
Get: 13, 50
Give: Stringer, 26 (amazingly almost identical to our deal lol)

Essendon
Get: Stringer
Give: 25, 30

You’ve nailed it

Come over here with a few lame troll attempts in the hopes they get carded so they can claim martyrdom whilst also not being around for the fallout when their club eventually rolls over for a belly rub.

Bulldogs officials are amateurs and even their supporters are amateurs. s**t effort at trolling.

Dogs fans; you're trying to gloat over an opinion based article with no basis whatsoever, stating that Carlton would be keen to get a player in who has not expressed any desire whatsoever to play there, alongside the fact that Carlton don't actually hold that pick that it being proposed within that baseless, opinion article. Nonetheless, you're also hinging on Bryce Gibbs requesting a trade to Adelaide, which hasn't been discussed at all, while he's still happy to stay at Carlton, meaning that Carlton are in no rush.

You haven't exactly covered yourself in glory this past week or so (moreso covered in dog turd), but let's quit while you're ahead, hey?

And Bombers guys; don't feed them, don't quote them, just report and be done with it. It makes the job far harder for the mods.

Plus, you can just revel in the win later while they're banned.

Oh man.

Won't even let us play with our food... bloody killjoy.

There's other places for you to do that.

Well if it was you I'm totally fine with it.

That Doss bloke as been harshing my buzz for years.

Everyone should be assigned a “how to handle a troll” training module in their inbox.

That was shameful. Lol.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

So Sam McClure thinks the deal will happen with WC involved?

Bloody hope he's right haha.

Depends on your point of view, if we wanted to have fun with them then we handled it well.

If you're a moderator then we handled it poorly.

If the trade period ended right now with all picks/players saying put, I would think Essendon would be the happier of the two clubs.

Has there been any new update by him since this morning?

A morbid part of me wants to see it, if only to watch the disaster of the Dogs trying to repair the relationship with Stringer.

I'll be honest, I want Stringer. I'd live with losing the GWS second next year on top if the club thought they needed to however I would prefer not and don't think it'd come to that. If a 2018 1st round is the only thing that would get it done then I'd pass.

If things stayed as they were I'd be disappointed not to have Stringer but would get over it pretty quickly and consider the trade period a very good one.

I'll have to remember not to have two accounts logged in simultaneously next time.

 

[BrunoV]

So, just so I understand this properly and not that I think this will happen, but if he saw his contract out doing whatever, what happens after that? He can just walk and the dogs get nothing right?

I think he's a restricted free agent next year.

In reality that real threat is probably the pre-season draft.

Flea bath first then the belly rub.
