I'd just offer him 2 at the moment. No triggers.

Come on. Everyone loves trigger.

NO RUSH ON DON DEAL​

JAKE Stringer's hot start to the season is not expected to see a fast-tracked contract discussion with the Essendon match-winner in the final year of his current deal.

The Bombers forward sits fourth in the Coleman Medal after round three with 10 goals so far this season, including last weekend's game breaking long goal to steer Essendon to a come-from-behind win over St Kilda.
But the Bombers indicated last month they were likely to wait until deeper into the season before opening negotiations on Stringer, who is due to play his 200th game in the middle of this year.

His strong start to this campaign playing largely as an inside-50 threat is not expected to push forward the timeline although rivals will track Stringer if he remains out of contract and putting together goalkicking efforts such as the win over the Saints.

Oh, there'll be triggers if they offer him two...

Jake in a contractor is hungry, Jake in a non-contract year is full. One year, for life.

What if another club offers him 2? Do you match or bite the bullet and risk he'll walk..?

Come on. Everyone loves trigger.

Not showing your age at all. Nor am I by implying I know what you're on about when I say "not showing your age"

Then let him walk if he wants to walk.

By all accounts he wants to be here so he isn’t likely to, but if he must then he must.

If we can give James bloody Stewart 2 years for nothing surely we can give this guy 2.

We persisted with Aaron Francis for like 7 years. Jake Long got 3 years too many.

The notion of offering Stringer 1 year deals and playing hardball might sound galaxy brain on paper, but it's not really practical or realistic.

But also Jake Long got three years too few

Amazing, 3 weeks ago people were dead set against ever offering Stringer more than 1 year at a time, now they’re desperately offering him 2!

It just takes one long, straight drop punt

I am but it is my dads fault. He loves Roy Rogers.

Are they all the same people? Your amazement might be well founded if so.

It’s a tough one - I don’t mind 1 + a trigger for an extra.

Would hate to lose him.

If Jake plays the entire season, Essendon make finals. That’s how important he is to the team. It’s clear that last year he was playing injured. Went from being a cb/ forward to a full forward who can’t move. Most players just don’t get picked in that situation but Jake does because of his supreme talent. Personally I’m offering two on market value coin with a trigger for another on games played.

I also like the idea of keeping Stringer permanently in his contract year.

 

[ant555]

Dare I say it one year with a .....

for a second.

I wonder which group will ultimately have the last Say?

There is nothing in the rules that says that.

Team Dodoro or Team Rosa
