[The Donners]

The problem is the good is up here































and the bad is down here.
There not a lot in between.

There’s a lot of space.

 

[Foxx]

I wonder what trades were discussed between us and GWS, involving our pick 9 and Stringer?
Surely they've looked at tying something in.

 

[Agronomus]

His goals, score involvements AND pressure numbers are great. It's an urban myth that fat Jake Stringer is lazy.

He's only puts in when he wants a new contract though

 

[Vindicater]

Reckon this deal gets done quickly now with some pick swaps now that we have more to play with.

 

[eth-dog]

Their F3

 

[Shanghaistu]

Is this guy still here….?

[eth-dog]

Kinda want the Peatling three way deal to go through with us ending up with Melbourne's third rounder for the hilarious part where Melbourne traded it to them to allow 46 to come to us anyway.

 

[Zach Package]

Their F3

I would be targeting their pick 21, even if that means attaching another pick of ours and paying his salary in it’s entirety.

We’d have to trade it out due to Kako situation. And if we can get a future first for that pick then that then surely GWS would likely prefer that deal.

Think it has to be Jake for a player to get anywhere close to what we want. Problem
Is GWS just lost a bunch of players and likely want to maintain some continuity. All things being equal it’s probably going to have to be a 3 team deal.

GWS get jake
Team 2 get pick GWS is happy to part with. Possibly Essendon pick
Essendon get useful player or good future pick

Nah. No need to fuss especially for something we'd have to trade out anyway. The F3 that goes in the Peatling deal will be good enough for me.

 

[bennyg12]

Is there any way this deal can fall over?

 

[cAsEy_18]

Is there any way this deal can fall over?

Yes.

It’s completely up to stringer as to whether he wants to re-up his life to move interstate for a couple years. And he could realistically, and understandably, decide that he doesn’t want to.

 

[bennyg12]

Yes.

Surley with what's been said he can't walk back in

 

[ant555]

Surley with what's been said he can't walk back in

Why not ? It is basically a case of suck it up and get on with it.

 

[dank420_]

He can just put his shit back in the locker.

 

[dank420_]

Not shit as in shit but shit as in equipment

 

[naraku]

Yes.

Yes.

Unless I missed it, Jake never actually requested a trade (maybe behind closed doors), so we should probably expect him to stay.

 

[Zach Package]

Nah. No need to fuss especially for something we'd have to trade out anyway. The F3 that goes in the Peatling deal will be good enough for me.

As far as I’m concerned as soon as you do the Melbourne deal focus shifts to getting absolute max output out of this by hook or by crook.

The one thing we know we have is the cap flexibility, so you’d be first of all saying ‘we’ll pay out his deal in full’, then you’d be going to the Giants and seeing whether there is anyone they wanted to offload, then you’d be going to a 3rd party like the Suns and seeing whether they wanted to dump some other crap on us like they ended up doing with Rory Atkins going to Port.

Then I’d probably be going to the the AFL and the AFLPA and trying to find a loophole to pay all of Stringer’s new GWS contract somehow.

All with the goal of getting up the order to the early 20s so that pick more or less takes care of Kako and then we retain the other 2 selections in the 30’s.

Not only is dumping him for not a lot a pretty disappointing outcome, it’s also boring.

 

[ydc55]

I wonder if we could get a deal like
Adealaide get peatling
GWS get stringer and a crows pick
Essendon get gws future 3rd.
I am not sure Jake is mature enough to walk back into the club.
Essendon have all but pushed him out.

thanks for clarifying because he shat (his own shit) in someone else's locker right.?

 

[Duckworth]

Well he wouldn't do it in his own, I mean he's not an animal...

 

[Lore]

It'll most likely happen. All parties seem open to the idea and there's really no reason for it not to get done.

Trade Period should be called Trade Hour coz nothing ever happens until the hour before it closes.

Yep. It is a big load of crap.

 

[MiguelM]

Yep. It is a big load of crap.

you could waste your whole life watching AFL gettable videos. They even bang on about it all season.

I have little interest following any of it. Most of the speculation is just that.

AFL media over saturation IMO. Just keeps the likes of Cal Twomey in a job. All about keeping AFL in the news but is too much and I turn off.

Just wait till the trade happens. The speculation is futile!
