Traded Jake Stringer [traded to Essendon]

[TDay]

What are the odds now that... nothing happens?

 

[HirdyLannister]

The reason the dogs are doing all the work is because they have already accepted pick 25 and 30 for Stringer, the paperwork is filled out but hasn't been lodged yet... They want to manufacturer a first round pick to save face from rejecting the first and very fair offer that Dodo gave..

 

[andrewb]

That would be four second-rounders for pick 13. Three knowns in 2017 and one unknown in 2018.

Yeah, that's more like it. At that point, I'm considering it. Short of that, GTFO.

If we assume that 2018 second-rounder is pick 30 (alongside 25, 28 and 30 in 2017), that would mean WC's "commission" is equivalent to pick 9, in points value. I could live with that.

Without that additional 2018 second-rounder, WC's "commission" would be equivalent to pick 22, in points value. Needless to say, that doesn't spin my wheels as much.

As a disclaimer, I expect WC to be far more reasonable. WC loves to be "reasonable".

You guys will be a different team with nic Nat next year anyway

West Coast seem keen on the pick swap so it should happen. Always a chance it could fall through but i would consider it remote atm.

 

[Capt Hindsight]

It's depressing how little faith I have in WC's ability to take advantage of this situation.

My money is on WC doing a "fair" deal and then pissing away the picks.

Can we give Masten to the Dogs instead of our 2018 first-rounder?

He's awesome. He's the next Simon Black.

Want to get his salary off the books?
How much would Masten even be on?
He'd be a good recruit....... for our VFL side.
Lol hes contracted till 2019 and will be 29 next year. He's got a good agent.

I will be sad when I no longer have this thread to come home to each night.

Wow. The level of angst west coast supporters have towards their clubs' drafting. I feel you should all get free hugs
Would you like to borrow dodoro for draft night. He loves a good late draft gem?

You can always get hyped that Stringer will be an Essendon player and will tear it up next year?

 

[Capt Hindsight]

Fair enough don't think Essendon would take him anyway we have Craig Bird.

Hopefully Bird is delisted after the trade period.

 

[VogonProsthetnic]

Dont actually see the point of doing anything. Especially with picks off in the never never.

We can put Stringer up for trade next year. Even if we get only second or third- we will be better off.

JMac needs to get his shit together here.

The Dogs wouldn't be chasing West Coast for a pick swap if they were going to keep Stringer. Deal will get done.

You are probably right- but don't see why when we have to pay a premium and we are talking future picks.

We have all of next year to sort out Stringer and we don't get the player until 2019. It's like derivatives trading - utterly futile

 

[boncer34]

Just so we're clear.

Dogs refused to give up a 2nd along with Jake for a first and a 3rd.

But now they're happy to give up 2 2nds, a first round downgrade and a future 3rd for just a future first?

Atta boy J-Mac. Nailed it.

AFL clubs simply have a wide range of factors that they often value more than getting a better value for their assets.
They absolutely hate having the media circus chase them and love having coaching staff and player unity.
Then with draft picks its hard to value them as some would argue its better to have a good first rd pick than 3 2nd rounds depending on the particular draft.

 

[ManOfClay]

Essendon supporters so obsessed with winning a trade.

What will it be like when they win a final?

Hope Jake gets it together and gets back to AA form, learns how to lead and chase, sorts out his personal life and conquers his addictions. But if he can't simultaneously pull all that off, there will be a new melty Stringer thread to keep you warm at night.

Says the bloke whos club is frantically swapping picks and throwing more and more in the bowl so they can clutch a first rounder and scream they didn't lost the trade and got what they wanted.

He needs to get a tank. Essendon will want him to spend a lot more time in the mid. If the price in the end is picks 25 and 30 its worth the risk of him blowing up Fev at Lions style.

Really really good.

 

[yodellinhank]

Thank God we don't have the list spots to accommodate Masten!

You could trade Campbell to the eagles, they after some ruck cover?

Might actually find out the answer next season

Slim. He will be joining Essendon and we all move on.

Hmm doubt that is a great look. Club says it would be best for both parties to look elsewhere, then hold him to a contract for him not to play for 12 months?

 

[SCRAY72]

Hopefully finalised today.
