Opinion Stringer theory. NO ESSENDON SUPPORTERS.

[The Inbetweener]

Just sayin that Yes he can still be gone without trading him for a half eaten burrito.

There is a third way.

No trade and no doggie play makie Jakie very sad.

I like the fact jmac is out of contract
He can’t afford to Stuff the trade
I hope not anyway
We just have to hope he is ok to play at both Essendon and Geelong and they get in a bidding war

 

[maddog37]

No doubt this is a situation where the club and player are both at fault and it has been handled poorly all round.

On the one hand we have a talented yet lazy player and on the other a stubborn coach

One mans stubborn is another mans strong leader.

He's been off the boil this year

 

[maddog37]

He's been off the boil this year

He is addressing that now though and copping shit for it cos he hurt poor old Jakes feelings.

 

[Igloo]

I would genuinely rather we not trade him, even if he doesn't want to stay in the end and we don't want him, than take ****ing pick 20 or pick 20 and some Geelong spud.

Also, Geelong can GAGF anyway. As always.

Or Bev is copping shit because Jake is one of the most talented players many of us have seen in a Dogs jumper, our youngest ever AA and only 23....and Bev just turfed him...

Praise Bev...

 

[Mutt]

Ok mate. Guess you know more than his management

And I guess you have no idea what his management thinks.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Terry Wallace said today at one stage Jake was getting 5 injections a week to keep him on the field

And he'd know that how? And so what? If he'd attended to his rehab as he should have he might not have needed injections.

 

[Mutt]

Well it depends. If Bevo hasn't spoken to him at all since the exit meeting (that apparently went well) and he was informed of a trade through his management then I would be absolutely livid as the player. As a person I would except to have a one on one conversation with the coach informing me of this decision and the reasons for doing so.

But then again Bevo said that is what happened. One of them is lying.

The exit interview went well according to Jake! The guy who the club has had a gut-full of. Jake, who claims he had no idea there were issues serious enough to cause the club to want him out. Whether Bevo has or hasn't spoken to Jake since his exit interview is irrelevant. Bevo isn't the club. This is not a call that Bevo alone can make. The club representatives have spoken to Jake and put the club's position to him, as is right. In Jake's own words, the issue is not about a clash between him and the Coach.

Rubbish

Well played with the title change Norm De Guerre .

Perhaps Quantum Machinations will be apt over the next few weeks too?

Or Bev is copping shit because Jake is one of the most talented players many of us have seen in a Dogs jumper, our youngest ever AA and only 23....and Bev just turfed him... FOR NO GOOD REASON!!

Praise Bev...

Eloquently put.

Only time will tell but I would rather the coach run the club than the players.

 

[Doggy]

Rubbish

So you refuse to believe that the club hasn't been perfect in all this? Righto

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

So you refuse to believe that the club hasn't been perfect in all this? Righto

Define perfect

 

[Igloo]

Eloquently put.

It's the one constant in my life. It deserves such fine speech.

 

[Fossie 32]

Maybe maybe maybe
I don't know how he would know.
May just be an insight into part of why he was struggling with form.

 

[Big Wilbur]

In response to Gary Kent's statement, can someone please remove the voting option regarding the last four CEO's?

It's a shit sandwich whichever way you look at it.

 

[maddog37]

It's a shit sandwich whichever way you look at it.

On that we can agree.

We couldn't have a year like we just did again though so something had to happen.

There may be a third way, but it's a pretty stupid way. We'd be paying him out and wasting a list spot and missing out on compensation just to be spiteful.

It'd also make me hesitant to commit long term if I was another dogs player, because I wouldn't want the club to decide to trade me and then sit me out of the league for a year.

To get the best out of this situation, the club really needs to be open to keeping him.

 

[VogonProsthetnic]

Stringer admitted he stuffed up but he's supposedly unhappy with Bevo for acting on it- doesn't make sense.

Wouldn’t you be upset at the person who sacked you?

 

[FoochPackage]

Luke and jake will meet late this week/early next week.

What comes of it, who knows.
