Dodo would’ve been asking for players who don’t want to leave GWS.
Look at how he handled Daniher.

this is true. hes only a niggle away from piling on the weight. all players should be in ripping condition in the preseason. its what happens when he isnt able to run as much during the week where he has had issues. he will only be around for another 2 seasons. 3 max.
Good Luck to him, hope he plays well.
yeah i feel the same he was an exciting player and its not like he demanded to be traded. he did what was best for him and his family. hope he helps them win a flag because them winning would be the least painful.
I like to think Jake will sink a last minute goal to somehow ruin Carlton’s finals chances.
I’m glad he’s at GWS now. Better for us and him.
I wouldn’t be surprised if his overall training load during summer is more than training + matches once he’s picked up a few niggles etc.
I’m still shocked there’s some that don’t realise we had absolutely zero bargaining position on Jake.
We came out of the draft with some decent picks and St Kildas 2nd rounder this year. It all worked out.
Jake having a ripper season and helping GWS overcome Collingwood or Fark Carlton in the grand final would just be icing on the cake.
I would have had asked for both 50 picks from GWS or one for this years draft
We did. They said no.
Next question?
So we give up just like that
The deal went right down to the deadline.
They weren’t offering more. We didn’t want to keep him.
Give up what ffs.
We held out, they didn’t cave. We accepted we had zero bargaining position (something you continue to fail to grasp). We end up with an extra 2nd this year in part due to the deal.
Move on.
Just like how fans need to move on about trading the likes of Ridley,Redman etc who are on long term contracts
Not sure what that has to do with Jake Stringer or GWS.
Probably get more than a pick in the 50s for them though.
IMO, GWS behaved like A-holes in the Stringer deal.
So I’m fully-supportively of Rosa targeting them for revenge in the future.
Offer property deals to their free agents…bid on all their academy kids…keep moving the goalposts in any direct dealings…just make them suffer.
That worked out well for dodoro.
How so? They offered more than other clubs.
Nope. He would have let Jake get the stupid multi year deal he was after and Jake would have kicked goals, but he’d also have been unfit and injured and we’d be further away from getting things right than we are right now.
Jones said coach Adam Kingsley takes player fitness and skinfolds in particular very seriously.
“For us it definitely is,” Jones said.
“I don’t know what it is like at other clubs and how seriously other clubs take it, but Adam Kingsley wants everyone to have pretty good skinfolds and everyone to be in the best shape they can be.
“It’s pretty important for us. We always want our players to be in the best shape.”
Was Brad not strong enough on player skinfolds and to be in the best shape they can be?
