I was wondering for a second why I would type that!

I heard KB was on the radio blaming him for the fact the Tigers will have to wear their clash jumper for the grand final.

Also, the article mentions that Rory Thompson is apparently gettable as well. If, and it's a big if, Lever somehow doesn't make it to us, would Thompson be a decent back up option? I feel like he was in terrific form a few years back and has quietly dropped off the radar since then.

I was just about to post the same article @wheaters31 Two things jump out to me - one is that I think we will have to deal with these sort of rumours during every trade period as they drum up articles for views. The second is that the article itself is based on next to nothing, other than the fact both Perth clubs are keen. We know Jesse has been extremely happy with how we have looked after him this year, and Goodwin has said we won't be trading him. I know some might argue anything can happen, and you would be right, but at the same time I'm pretty certain Jesse is going nowhere.

Barry Prendergast?

This is Demonland. It's bias first, facts a distant second.

It has as much validity as most of the rumours posted here, so you can't go far wrong.

Are you seriously trying to suggest he is worth just a third rounder? Bloke still has years of footy left and can be a matchwinner on his day. Consistency issues aside, you could easily get a late first rounder for him. No way we give him away for that. I'd rather keep him.

I heard from my neighbours dog that we are trading Oliver and Pick 10 to Essendrug for their Pick 11. Derdero fleecing us as he supposedly does with every club.

It's rubbish. I'm surprised people are so quick to even entertain a deal like that. We aren't trading Watts to move up 4 spots in the draft. Crazy stuff. Yes, I know, it's just a rumour, take with a grain of salt etc, but these are getting worse every day.

McQueen has been around the traps long enough that he has plenty of credits in the bank. Far more than your good self.

Sounds like an Orren Stephenson situation. Terrific at VFL level but couldn't make the cut at AFL level. I don't see why Meese would necessarily be any different.

Garland > Lever.

And on crack if we traded O-Mac?

So we give up one player, perceived for his laziness, for another who has the worst pressure rate for a forward in the competition? Makes little sense to me.

PMS? Hardly. You said 'no', then in the same sentence said if they put Pick 6 on the table they could keep talking, and the came up with a ludicrous trade idea that would have everyone in the competition laughing at us.

9 first round picks.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Apparently? What source is this? And that trade is god awful. One of the worst I've seen on here this year.

If you were Stringer you would turn around and beg for forgiveness from Bevo and everyone associated with the Dogs. Anything but having to go and play for Norf.

He was either starved for opportunities behind Sandilands, or simply not up to it. Sandilands has had his fair share of injuries and I don't recall Hannath getting much of a gig behind him. With Spencer gone we have a spot for a backup ruckman, but I'd rather we look to upgrade rather than just move sideways.

I think I'm getting off lightly!

I have to apologise to all in this thread as I was the clever man who, jokingly, said I wouldn't give up Oliver for 9 first round picks. It's totally snowballed from there. Come home soon, Jake.

To the Dogs for Jake Stringer if he has anything to do with it.
