Essendon = Entitlement
- Thread starter Number8
- Start date
"Essendon said 12,000 of their 83,664 members bought a package with a grand final guarantee this year at a starting price of $470." 
The price of hope: Clubs feast on members’ hunger for grand final tickets
Geelong is charging fans $230, and Sydney’s charging $135, to join the ballot for grand final tickets – but fans lose their money if their teams lose the preliminary final.
Looks like The Package is getting regifted:
STRINGER’S DON AND DUSTED
Andrew McMurtry - News.com.au
Essendon star Jake Stringer is reportedly telling those close to him that he’s played his last game for the club as the ugly contract standoff appears to be heading for a messy end.
The 30-year-old has triggered a clause for a $400,000 deal for 2025 but Essendon has been reluctant to extend Stringer beyond that or upgrade his deal.
The star forward played every game for Essendon this season, kicking 42 goals to finish equal 12th on the Coleman Medal leaderboard.
Stringer is testing the market to chase a more lucrative two-year deal, with AFL Media reporting that Collingwood is in the box seat for his signature.
Stringer’s management had reportedly been in contact with Sydney and Geelong but negotiations had broken down.

Shock……final year of a front loaded contract……. You take the cash early on, you know the implications in the latter stages of the deal. A 30 year old fat, lazy, albeit sometimes explosive player demanding a contract extension on more dough. Possibly the only player that is carrying more weight at the end of the season than at the start and is lucky to produce for, at best 1 out of 4 quarters a game and who plays at his best when his contract is up for renewal. Now, I think about that…..maybe we can start a go fund me to raise the money to keep him there…and bring back Dodoro.
#Lolnorf still hunting for a big name signing???? Surely they could use another premium hybrid mid forward to help out Larkey at times.
North are front runners for 32 year old Jack Darling, (why would you even go there
)
I know where Stringer won’t be going, to the Bulldogs, once bitten twice shy.

Front runners? Can't believe there would be much of a queue. Darling's career is almost over.
Simple. It's still weeks away from trade n draft time, gotta keep all possible options open at the moment. Also why not both together on the cheap? Still gives Larkey some forward support over the next few years n gives the rest of their mids some target options.North are front runners for 32 year old Jack Darling, (why would you even go there
Geez. Who'da thunk it, after all these years #Lolnorf could actually land two big name players at the same time.
It’s fairly mind boggling. Has disaster written all over it. Maybe we could sway North with Lynch and it’s only going to cost them double the wages of Jackie D! And only for the cost of their no.2 pick!North are front runners for 32 year old Jack Darling, (why would you even go there
Barrett doing a bit of white anting of Essendon. I’ll allow it:
IF ...
the noise was low decibel level a fortnight ago ...THEN ...
it's nearing medium level now. Talk of a board room challenge against David Barham getting louder by the week.Really?? Then…..that means…….HIRDY AND DODORO AND SHEEDY ARE COMING BACK!! All is good with the world going forward!!!
Perfect timing. We definitely need a Dusty replacement to soothe the withdrawal angst happening at the moment. If we can't get KMart Dusty we might as well get NQR Dusty, just until we get over the Shakes n DT's of course.
