So a trade is immnient wonder if Stone will be part of it
Itās done. Jake wouldnāt say he wants to go there if they hadnāt presented him a contract offer. Heās probably just doing a medical

Bulldogs should have a look at Shiel if they lose McRae, Smith and Danielā¦

Part of the problem is all the uncertainty on Kako, he COULD go pick 8, or pick 25, but both are unlikely and somewhere in the middle is more likely. So have to plan for a number of things to eventuate
Yep, will be fluid. Our phone will ring if itās before our pick. Should be after our first pick.
Careful, the know it alls on here will tell you thatās not true.
Iāve really enjoyed Jakeās Essendon tenure and will wish him all the best if he does end up at GWS. For me, GWS is the best possible result because:
-
I donāt mind them (so happy to see Jake do well).
-
they have a stack of picks so should be willing to give something up (though wonāt be much).
-
may make other business with them easier (eg Stone/Shiel).

Yep same here. Been a favourite of mine for a long time and would wish him all the best at the Giants.
Same with Shiel. Seems like a nice way to finish his career.

I just canāt see how a deal to GWS for 2 years can be a good thing for Jake? Away from family or at the very least a big move north for allā¦West Sydney is a sh1thole, rental prices etc. Playing in front of 8000 supportersā¦Big Jesse the main man in their fwd lineā¦makes no sense IMO. But heyā¦what do I know.
Maybe I just donāt want him to go!

How do you read a trade imminent from that? GWS donāt even know if they want him yet.
Maybe he wants a break from his kids. The attitude Iām getting this afternoon id love a two year break.

Who knows.
Maybe there are circumstances where a move interstate is preferred. He probably wonāt actually live in Western Sydney.
He might just think itās the best path to prolong his career.

Some on here posted earlier that a trade has been agreed on.
Maybe so. 2 clubs and nothing has changedā¦maybe 3rd times a charm.
If he did what he has this year next season we would have given him another year without doubt. He did it half fit and in a side suffering a huge form slump.
Clearly not keen to back himself in.
