BUt- they will get it all??
Essendon’s football chief Rob Kerr said on Monday that the Dons had “a strategy” that would enable them to land Stringer, Smith and Saad without giving up young utility and 2015 Pick 5 Aaron Francis, who has asked for a trade back to a South Australian club.

In his dreams. The Essendope tactic is to be a complete dick in negotiations, give nothing, demand everything and then wait for the other side to crack. Worked a treat with Carlisle, didn't it? I think their well-deserved reputation for being the worst club to deal with will surely start to bite. Sheedy used to delight in stuffing opposition clubs around. The tradition continues. People have long memories, especially in an industry as incestuous as the AFL.

Essendon are the most arrogant club at this time of year. They will really struggle to land all 3 players they want being right royal tightarses. I would love it if another club swoops in late and steals one of these guys. I don't know where Essendon get it from....it must be the 80's big 4 arrogance and superiority mentality in play again. When was the last time they won a final?

A club like Hawthorn on the other hand are great to deal with at this time of year.

Bunch of drug cheating scum.

I really hope they get Stringer and pay overs for him.

He's a perfect fit for them, and will like to mix his young girls and drugs. I bet he wishes Nixon was still in he game. Match made in heaven!

It all started with Sheedy, ps. Absolute prick, who delighted in changing his mind, making false promises etc.. I'll be surprised if they get all three.

And while I'm at it, they have Rob Kerr (Derr was his nickname when he worked at the PA :) ) as their footy chief. I hope he does as good a job at the dopers as he did as list manager at Brisbane. Lost player after player and rode that list to the bottom. They're still recovering. Here's doping, I mean hoping he works his peculiar brand of magic at the bummers.

It's amazing how many people are surprised when I tell them we've played in more grand finals than that mob over the last 20 years.


Still waiting for closure ... if you get my drift.

Should ring alarm bells already, shouldn't it? And what 'strategy' would that be? An off-the-books 'strategy' perhaps?

Interesting that Nick Bowden (I think) published an article on afl.com.au about the Dons woeful trading history, how much they need to trade in experienced talent, and how they need to reverse the trend of agents and clubs encouraging players to look elsewhere as a result. It would be absolute gold to see their 'strategies' of the past 20 years completely unravel on them to keep the club middling for decades.
