Stringer Thread II - 10,000 posts was Not Enough

[chris_64]

Cue: Blitzers gloating til the early morn.

Sure beats the way I felt 10 minutes into the 2nd quarter of the elimination final.

Not great when they could have had 11 + 46 for Stringer and 26 in a weaker draft. Idiots.

Have we got Schache yet?

Bulldog supporter Twitter fun for everyone:

“We are the Prep kid getting his footy cards taken from him by the Gr 6 kid. Then the Gr 5 kid saw us as the easy target and took the rest!”

“I hope [we] lose members over this”

“This is the worst trade we have ever done in the history of our club.”

“Absolutely disgusting Dogs. We’re the laughing stock again”

“No lube on this one, it’s gonna hurt next year too with the super draft crop”

Replying to @westernbulldogs
“You should be disgusted. I am.”

Ok, we can all posture and lie to ourselves about how much we wanted smith/saad over stringer.

but we’ve got THE PACKAGE OH BOY WOWEE.

ORAZAIOOOOOOOOOOO FANTASSSSSSSSSSSIAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

2 THA PACKAGE

They got 16 and 40 for stringer and their second next year (20-25)… in a strong draft year…

Not horrible but based on your top 5 pick, leading goal kicker and AA… well unders.

Nope - they also traded their second this year.

Stringer, 28 and future second - for 16, 25 and 40

After rejecting Stringer and 28 for 11 and 48

It is - objectively - a worse deal for the Dogs, but the waters have been muddied enough - and their supporters thick enough - that they may be able to sell it to them.

I kid you not… at exactly the same time as Blitz went offline for me, the doorbell rang. It was Australia Post. With a Package. That was when I knew for sure that Stringer would be a Bomber!!

Dogs effectively got 16 and 40 for stringer. They didn’t do too badly their supporters need to stop acting like they’ve been hard done by

If they use 40 it’s the equivalent of giving away pick 32 to Carlton. If they don’t (they need to sack/trade more guys to do so) it’s absurd, something like 2091 fairy dust points out and 1067 in!

P.S. Fark Carlton.

Such a shame Jake never clocked up 100 games for the bulldogs too. We want his children.

A potential recruitment bonanza, by all accounts.

SSStunning effort by Dodoro.

SSSuck on that FFFark Carlton.

We are on a roll. Lets start planning to prise the Bont out of them next year for pick 95, a bag of Twisties and a Mars Bar.

Right now back to reality ie. work lolz

[ThePissedPirate]

I always felt we just needed to hold our nerve with this trade and I’m really glad we did. Dodoro will be hitting Footscray with an invoice for his trading lessons. It will be money well spent.

After being on the wrong end of the same situation with Crameri and Ryder, I was quietly confident We were going to get out own back on this time.

[Gwilty]

Whoo-hoo. Life can be back to normal.

Lock up your daughters, Jake’s coming.

LOL!

We have been complete jerks this trade period.
We have been complete jerks this trade period.
We have…

[ThePissedPirate]

Offer them that to start with. Then give away the Mars Bar.

[Darth_Taj]

2018 Game plan- Lose in the midfield, concede an inside 50, spoil the footy and get it into the hands of Saad, Hurley, McKenna and co, kick into 70 metres from goal and let Hooker, Daniher, Stringer, Fantasia, Walla, Smith, Stewart and co do the rest.

Good luck.
