Stringer in late hitch
ESSENDON’S mission to secure exiled Western Bulldog Jake Stringer remained in limbo last night.
The impasse came as talks between the Bulldogs and West Coast on a complicated pick swap hit a snag.
Essendon have offered picks No.25 and No.30 to the Dogs for Stringer and have ruled their first-round pick in next year’s draft off limits.
The Dogs wanted to ontrade selections No.9, No.25 and No.30 in return for the Eagles’ pick No.13, and shuffle selections in next year’s draft.
