Traded Jake Stringer [traded to Essendon]

[Bombfire]

We can just quote the Bombers fans doing that earlier in the week

You obviously don't play cards.

 

[Jobe Watson]

No Carlton representative in the room. Looks like a straight-up swap of 25 + 30 for Stringer. Maybe the Dogs will try to turn 25 + 30 into 16 off their own bat.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Hey all, I'm on the phone with JMac, trying to tee up a poker game, anyone interested?

 

[Rookie]

Why is it taking so long? Maybe there's a complicated pick swap arrangement in there somewhere.

 

[sexyhunk]

You blokes can get Kennedy and Lang now with 25+30

I be happy pick 40 for KD but if Carlton want to give us one of those for him I am sure the club wouldnt say no.

Lol at trading a 23 year old All-Australian for two second rounders

Wait. I can hear Jaws music coming from somewhere

Best of luck to him. At full flight he is great to watch.

Although, along with the All-Australian part, you'll need to deal with his mentaility.

Make sure Gordo is there too

 

[Woody15]

Did I read somewhere in this mess the dogs knocked back an earlier offer that was better?

 

[peppy la pew]

Devils Advocate but I feel both teams win in this trade

Bombers only fork out a couple of 2nd rounders and change

Dogs get rid of the reason they were so dysfunctional last year

Bombers win this one on face value but Doggies could possibly be a stronger more cohesive unit next year

 

[Gw2_James]

Grats bombers, I'm very jealous.

 

[Wayne Dwop]

Headline in tomorrows Hun:


STRINGER FUX DOGS

 

[GetDimmaBack]

Where are all the Doggies? Though unless its top ten pick we take him back. You joke of a club. Suck on that.

You'll understand...in time.

Hey. There's that Jaws music again!

 

[Ants]

It depends on what the final details are. If they've effectively gotten Stringer for #16, the original offer (#11 for Stringer & #26) is only better if their statements that they won't use 3 picks in the ND is correct. If that was a bluff, then they've got a better deal now.

 

[Bald]

There's a way to play that. You didn't need to confirm it, essentially making it the biggest trade story aside from Ablett.

I get that, but how would you have done it any differently? We were open and honest about the situation, are you insinuating that we should either lie or do nothing at all?

 

[peppy la pew]

A sex maniac and degenerate gambler. Big worries!

Melbourne clubs must be privy to his off field antics, we hear SFA over here

I don't include the rantings of Slobbo obviously

 

[maddog37]

Well done Bombers. Job done.

Enjoyed this thread quite a bit.

 

[dmc333]

Which Essendon player has the hottest partner? Stringer's first mark.

You think he's the only reason?

 

[Lance Uppercut]

sooo, quite keen to hear from TerryWallet who is such a huge fan of Adrian "Mr October" Dodoro. 3/3 for the cost of sfa. Tell us what you think mate!!

 

[MightyDons4]

Thanks for playing doggies.

Spot on, Peppy.

The prime reason the Dogs wanted him gone.

Just wish they hadn't done any grandstanding!

Still, he's someone else's problem now.

 

[Rookie]

Awesome deal for Essendon and well played by them.

Hard to judge if it's a good deal for us or not until 2pm.

Congrats Dodo - masterful. Shame Stringer will ruin your good culture.

 

[Ari]

Not over yet! Dogs will use 25 and 30 for Lang and Kennedy and everyone wins.

This is a multi team trade, only the first part has executed for now.

 

[chef]

Glad its finally done. Hope for Jakes sake he can get it together but hes more likely to end up Fev mach2.

Not the worst deal if we can pick a couple of good kids.
