Saints will be offering about 1.3-1.5 as well
The problem for me if we are after both Kelly and Stringer is how do we get the deals done if we happen to get both wanting to come to us.
We wouldnāt be chasing both of them if we couldnāt fit them in the salary cap.
But I would imagine Kelly costs us this years and next years first round pick, which Iām fine with for him.
But how do we land Stringer with no first round picks to offer.
I know people are all āletās screw the Bulldogs like they did to us over Crameriā, but on planet earth, a 2nd round pick and Jackson Merrett aināt going to get us Stringer.
If both players say they want to play for Essendon, you find a way to get it done.
*not that sold on the Stringer trade IMO.
The Dog and its Reflection
This bloke is a must get for us. Whatever it takes.
We can prune the list from the bottom up until we have salary space for him.
If we can get Stringer, then prune harder again from the bottom up.
We can then enter the draft for some good young blokes, and a couple of good State League players.
DO IT.
B: McKenna, Hartley, Baguley
HB: Gleeson, Hurley, Goddard
C: KELLY, Heppell, McGrath
HF: Fantasia, Daniher, STRINGER
F: McDonald-Tipungwuti, Hooker, Stewart
R: Bellchambers, Z.Merrett, Zaharakis
INT: Parish, Green, Francis, Colyer
Iām fapping to this!
PS; I do realise itās a 0.001% change of happeningā¦
12 of those blokes are under 25. Thatās an amazingly talented, young list that doesnāt include Lang, Lav, Begley, Mutch or Ridley.
OR Draper
That team will not lose a game in 2018.

Imagine Kelly and Rockliff instead of stringer. Orgasmic
Its obvious now that weāll have to involve our 2017 and 2018 picks in our efforts to get Stringer and Kelly. Iām fully comfortable with this if it achieves both.
If we get both, then I want the expectations raised.
8 all Australians plus McG, Parish and Raz. Thereās no excuses why we shouldnāt be aiming for top 4 the next couple of years.
Does Lachie Whitfield re-signing = Kelly leaving?
More likely it indicates theyāre all recommitting To what they all bought in on, winning the Giants first flag.
Or there is more money to go around because what they kept aside for Kelly can now be used
Him stepping into #5 at EFC would be a massive financial coup.
The playing contract $$ are great but the commercial opportunities for him given how loved Hird was will be huge both during and after his career. As will his merchandise sales.
Connors will know this and how to maximise
Maybe as the final piece of the comeback story Hird will come back to the club and give the number to Kelly?
WHY THE F AM I STILL IN THIS THREAD??? FOG HAS SAID WE ARE OUT!!!
I want to believe
Or it indicates that Lachlie Whitfield has recommitted to the GWS Giants for a further two years.
Just want to clarify, my like is for the second thought. I have that thought every time I come into this thread.
Yet here I am.
Impossible. Heās going to Hawthorn, surely? The internet said so.
