Here is another from Footscrazys board

I am told by a very realisable source inside the club that Jmac warned Doro that if pick 11 wasn't on the cards for a straight swap, not to come back and deal for Stringer unless they had a top 10 pick. Deal won't go down with Stringer at all with Essendon. Bev is stubboun and would prefer to work things out with stringer then get screwed by the bombers. Essendon saw it as Smith and Saad were gettable but not all 3.

If they really were that bullish about it then that is ridiculous arrogance. We walk away with one, probably 2 great players and multiple picks. They have a player that wants nothing to do with them and will more than likely have far less value next year.
 
**** it's going to be funny if/when we get Stringer for roughly what we want to pay and not for anywhere near what the Dogs want from us.

My best chortle is on standby.
 
Jake going away is the military equivalent of burning the bridges behind you.

Gutsy move by Connors but if we stay firm - watch his business collapse. The snake is going down if we stay strong.

That alone would be beautiful.

Awwwww honey...

I am genuinely surprised how overwhelmingly obtuse Dogs fans have been here.

They just AREN'T GETTING IT.

Don't get me wrong, I get that when your team ****s up biblically, it can be a little hard to accept it, but this is hands over your ears, 'not listening' level shit.

Connors business will collapse? U flipping wot m9?

Let's consider this for a second.

Let's say, hypothetically, the Dogs do what many of their underwhelming fans want them to do, and 'hold firm'. That is, that they refuse to trade Stringer because they do not believe they will get commensurate value.

This of course ignores the fact that they are responsible for the mess they are in trade value wise, but I digress...

Ok, they hold firm. Stringer is contractually obligated to stay, and Connors has failed to get the result he wanted for his player due to the stubbornness of the Dogs.

His business goes under? **** a duck - sheesh...

Nuh-uh sunshine, here's what happens.

Connors now does exactly what his implied threat is, and TOTALLY ****S THE DOGS.

And he does it, because his reputation and that of his agency is contingent on making things happen for his clients.

So instantly, all CSM players not already playing at the Dogs become inaccessible to the them. And it's not like CSM has a stable of high quality players or anything... :drunk:

How about existing players at the Dogs? When do their contracts come up? How those negotiations gonna go? How likely are you to find that all of a sudden, your current CSM players seem to have an interest in moving elsewhere?

What about draftees? CSM is very friggin good at identifying talent early and positioning themselves as partners to players/families. Sure, the Dogs can draft them, and then spend the next two years having to fight the influence that CSM has over those kids.

But Connors is going to go down if you stay strong.

**** me dead we're dealing with some real thinkers here.

Confident we won't fold. If Essendon can't find us a first rounder - no deal.

I said this in the other thread:

If we receive 35 compensation, we HAVE TO match.

It's not just about keeping him (noting that keeping Motlop period and keeping Motlop instead of Ablett for salary cap is way more favourable for us), it's about getting fair value for Mots from Port.

He is worth about pick 20. We should be pushing for Port's 29 + some.

I know we won't, we are nice and will bend over without the lube once again. I wish we were like other clubs (yes even Essendon) who get fair value for leaving players. It is clear that "being nice" has no advangtage (look at Essendon, everyone wants to go there).

From the dogs board, get your pitch forks out.

It's easy. If we accept 2 second rounders, wait for King Harold to advise where we meet. Bring pitch forks, matches, tar, feathers and effigies of JMac and Bevo.
March on WO and burn it to the ground.
Go home and have a Bex/beers/stiff drink and a lie down...
 
Given the recent behaviour and judgement of Stringers' Manager Paul Connors, there is every reason to believe Paul a considerable portion of Jakes' problems.

According to Abby, Paul was supplying Punt money to Jake on request.
Click to expand...

Hands up anyone that can tell me what exactly would happen if a player was denied HIS OWN MONEY.

His got Cooney and Nixon running amok with their mouth. He is all in on the Essendon trade and at no point showing any concern for Jake except to get the deal done at any price.
Click to expand...

Concern? You mean like getting him away from the club that publicly put him up for trade and chastised him for his actions?

The last few days, we are hearing increasingly bizarre and desperate statements from Nixon about suing the club. Rumours, that Stringer is off on holidays before the end of the trade period. Now that Jake will sit out the year.
Click to expand...

Geez... that almost sounds like the actions of a player that REALLY doesn't want to play for the Dogs.

Sometimes, these player agents can go off the rails - (Nixon for example). Paul's lack of professionalism and the increasing number of juvenile tantrums regarding the Stringer deal is a red flag - his showing signs of a guy totally off his game.

I suspect his many, many happy clients disagree with that.

How is his company going? His family? His health?

Well thanks. Bloke is probably the most highly regarded player manager in the game.

Agree its hilarious to suggest this will be bad for Connors but to be fair plenty of us spat the dummy and declared him going out of business when we were on the wrong of him.

Connors is an absolute arseh*le for a supporter of a club who has a departing player managed by him. It's exactly why he has so many clients, and generally not shitkickers either. He simply does absolutely everything to get the best value for his client, as he should. It doesn't mean I have to like him ever, I just dislike him less when he's on our side.
