Those questioning Stringer's addition to our side need to look at the bigger picture.

To me, Stringer will end up a midfielder. Hopefully a Martin style split between midfield/forward. Dogs would have probably developed him as a forward.

Will he have the tank for it? Well I remember Martin's tank being questioned, but that worked out okay.
 
I wonder whether Richmond might be interested in a deal involving first round picks?

Patrick Naish (Rich F/S) is rated around the 20 mark in the draft. With the picks Richmond currently hold (15&17), there’s a chance they might need to use one to match a bid for Naish. Now if they were to offload those picks for 11&28, it would more than likely allow them to pick a first rounder with 11 then collect Naish with 28&50 with some change back.

Worth investigating I reckon.
Honestly think they will get 2 live picks in before Naish is bid on

Jason McCartney: we are after an early 1st round pick for jake - we wont be gift wrapping him to another club

we can see him still being at our club next year.

yeh somehow, i think the 3 player easy sign up thing isn't going to be that easy.
 
Woosha talked about 'team defence' all year. It's the defence that both the Tigers and Bulldogs did brilliantly in their premiership years. I think lots of fans still don't really get it, including Robbo. It's not about having 18 Ryan Crowleys running around.
 
Dogs list manager just said they'd like a first rounder for Stringer, and not a late first rounder.

Pretty much what we were saying about Paddy Ryder. Actually im pretty sure we say that about every player that wants to leave. Its a non issue. Its a standard comment.
 
As usual it will be somewhere between the two parties at the end of the day.
This is what is hilarious when people say we're 'hard to deal with'. Apparently when it comes to football you pay whatever is asked for, even when it's twice the recommended retail. Market value is fair, but in this case market value is no greater than the end of the first round.
 
This is a snippet from an interview with McCartney (Dogs list manager) from the Trengove stuff this morning;
Will take all the time that is needed to sort through the Jake Stringer situation. Expects to speak to Essendon soon.
Will take more than a late first-round pick to get it done.

Did anyone hear it live that might be able to give some context to that? Was he asked about Essendon, or about Stringer, and did he mention Geelong at all?

Trade talk thing also has a section about Stringer meeting Dangerfield and a pic of them in international rules guernseys, but I'm pretty sure that was earlier in the week.

"We want a quality player in return," Dodoro said as the Bombers' camp left Etihad Stadium on Monday afternoon.

"He's a quality player, he's at the peak of his powers as an AFL ruckman, so we want what's fair.

"We want apples for apples, not apples for a bag of peanuts, basically.

"They know what we're after … the ball is back in their court."

and pretty much the same language here with Carlisle. They all use the same play book.
