That almost made me want to drink. Stephenson, my god

I got drunk reading it.

That almost made me want to drink. Stephenson, my god

I almost poured myself one and pissed in it and drank it in honour of the suggestion

 

[Lings of Geelong]

Pick 12 and a future first for Stringer? Someone whose club is only willing to offer one year contract? What? Huh?

Sorry, thought we were talking Houston. I'll take a lie down

 

[manicpie]

Would anybody take a punt on Stephenson as a DFA?

It would be hard to hold him for a torpedo but I reckon I could punt him

Good ol noodle arms.

 

[manicpie]

Sorry, thought we were talking Houston. I'll take a lie down

Ok, that's a better. Houston would be almost worth that

 

[Chrispiesssss]

I could see us chasing stringer only if we lost Richards. I rather we persist with Reef if we don’t lose Richards.

We could lose reef though

Is it right Carlton are sniffing around?

Is that the first player you've said no to?

 

[manicpie]

Not unusual for those dogs to be sniffing around

 

[manicpie]

Is that the first player you've said no to?

I am a bit over welcoming

 

[Couch Coach]

That's too much. Pick 26 is about his worth

Pick 26 at the start of the draft or
Pick 26 after F&S, NGA, Etc.?

Levi Ashcroft BRL say Top 5
Leo Lombard GCS say Top 10
Isaac Kalko ESS say 10-15

After pick 20ish:
Sam Marshall BRL
Ben Campoereale CAR
Malakai Champion WCE
Lucas Camporeale CAR
Doug Kerr COLL
Tyler Welsh ADE

Therefore GCS picks:

• 20 turns into 23
• 26 turns into 29/30

 

[Jen2310]

That's too much. Pick 26 is about his worth

And rioli is worth pick 6?
You have to pay overs for those in contract. And players not picks mean more to them

 

[Stronzatello]

Ok, that's a better. Houston would be almost worth that

No, no, no. You take that pick to the draft if we are somehow lucky enough to get it!! Split next years first with the swans for 18 and 19. We then have 3 decent picks, plus Mcguane next year. Get stringer with a late pick…..that’s a heist!!!

 

[gerryg400]

Fly said he wants a key forward. I reckon/hope that’s a deliberate furphy. He actually wants a back and a mid.

 

[Gabbo64]

Owies and Stringer, get it done. We'll have the two most punchable heads in the game but they will improve us. So many precious people on here. Grow some nuts. You don't have to date them.

Sorry manic, but Cam Rayner has them both covered in head punchability.

 

[BEEG]

100% won't be at Essendon next season.

Bank it.

Wants 3 years.

3 years at 30 lol
Bit full of himself to actually think that happens once you hit 30

He'll be a pie, lock it in.

 

[mocamagic]

I'd offer Stringer 2 years if he comes fairly cheap

 

[manicpie]

Taylor Adams anyone

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Surely we don't offer that piece of lard 3 years.

Hopefully he goes to the Saints. I can see him fit right in down there.

 

[sr36]

You only get to play games if you're best 22. So even if you nail all your picks, only a small percentage of the 80+ drafted in a 10 year period is going to play over 50 games especially when a large part of the side is also made up of traded in best 22 players.

It's not about quantity, it's about quality and finding those stars through the draft that would be impossible to pry out/trade for. Maybe a better metric would be how many we've drafted that have played 150-200+ games to really see the quality.

Yeah - all teams play the same number of players every week and thus recruit the same number of home and away games.

 

[manicpie]

Wow, what a trade period. Stringer, Stephenson and owies. Give me papley and I will be in nirvana
