Some huge news in the world of why the pies turned their back on Stringer seemingly without reason last week... aaaaand now it makes sense....

We can all come up with wild ideas at this time of year - here's another. Taylor Adams has been given a raw deal at the Swines and has been left out of their finals team. Maybe he would like to return. Remember he was left out of the Pies finals team last year due to injury. If he was fit he would have been an automatic selection. I would like to see the Power knock off the Swines but I don't hold out much hope.. As for Stringer - I don't want him anywhere near our club. I am sure it wouldn't have been given a second thought if Wrighty was still there.

Adams done

[@stefanosahretis5075]

I wasn’t sold on stringer, but I’m glad someone at Coll woke up. Let him go to the swans

[@occam5123]

A lot of people didn't want Stringer at the club before this was mentioned.

[@mindofown]

Wow Clubs putting integrity before the need to win a football game!

[@mattrobbo18]

Braydon Preuss to Collingwood I like. Need a solid backup ruckman and when he plays he is very good. Just can’t get over his injuries.

[@quinntoohey406]

Has he ever played 10 games in a single season? Bloke gets injured for fun.

[@TheLaughingMagpie]

@@quinntoohey406we could play him games Nick Daicos gets tagged just so he could king hit Nick’s taggers, give the guy a good biff Past that, Preuss is the real life caricature of Gaston from Beauty and the Beast

[@mitchellrizza284]

He’s so injury prone. Bad move

[@mattrobbo18]

But geez when he had that ten game run for GWS in 2022 he absolutely dominated. Aiden Begg gone, at least he gets cox out of the team.

[@Jimofthejimbos]

Off field drama is the last thing we need. Great decision pies!

[@mitchellrizza284]

lol I would rather Collingwood sign Elliot Himmelberg.

[@steve8510]

To make Frampton look good?

[@benjaminparkinson5255]

Hey as a cats fan we don't want baily Smith

[@PiesFooty]

We will take him haha

[@simonkaye7268]

Makes sense

[@steve8510]

Would love Perryman as a UFA, got a bit of James Clement about him, can go in the middle too. Interesting that we are also pushing hard for Houston who would take 2 late 1st rounders minimum, evidently we are trying to bundle our Future 1st with the pick 26 we get for Noble and 37 for Richards (2792 Draft Points) to get Sydney picks 18 and 19 (1933 Draft Points) it's almost 900 points value for Swans who need to offload them. But rather than offer them up for a 28 year old Houston I'd bundle them up for GC's pick 12 (they need to offload it too) and go after Bailey Smith, he's 23 and a gun! Cats said they won't pay more than their late 1st rounder which will be in the early 20's. We can't beat Carlton for Houston because they have pick 11 but we could smash Geelong out of the park with pick 12. ps: Another conversation would be do you give up the Whitlock twins for Smith? you could probably get both of them with picks 18 and 19 and solve all our key position problems for the next 10 years.

[@PiesFooty]

Very interesting! Why do the swannies need to offload those picks? You are very privy to the whole draft and trade conversation!!

He's such a culture killer. Would've burnt my membership if spud came

[@brendoncrofts6714]

If the AFL are trying to put pressure or as you call it and warn other clubs about issue relating to individuals and his friends, wouldn't Jake make more money by suing the AFL and or ess for restrict of trade ,regardless who his friends are shouldn't someone from the club have restrictions on who enters the rooms ,this just stinks why have dusty play we all know who is farther is AFL don't have a problem with that

[@rodwigg5383]

It is just another example of ego over professionalism

[@muhammedPies]

If we changed Degoey we can change Stringer. But it won't happen, Essendon will want the world for him in order to make Collingwoods life difficult. So yep let's focus elsewhere

LOL I love how you say that Stringer's associations with undesirables hasn't been seen since Jake King was hanging out with Bikies. Did you forget about Didak?

[@steve8510]

Didak incident was about 6 years before Jake so factually correct

[@tonycostanzo4276]

too old

30 is too old ? I doubt it. Too good a player to pass up on

[@irfanabazi416]

Just look at degoey and what our coaching staff did with him. He went from bad boy to good boy in a relatively short time. I think stringer could 50 goals plus in our way of playing. I'm not saying sign him up willy-nilly but at the same time I wouldn't cut ties with him. Maybe adding some clauses in his contract regarding his antics might help.
