Following reports that the AFL integrity unit has warned Essendon<\/a> about who they let into their rooms, Matthew Lloyd<\/a> is concerned it could impact Jake Stringer<\/a>'s chance of being traded out.<\/p>\n

It comes after the Bombers were warned for Stringer and delisted player Nick Hind's association with "undesirable" figures, according to the Herald Sun.<\/p>\n

The club is now being forced to be hyper-aware of who exactly enters their rooms post-match.<\/p>\n

Now, with the Bombers on high alert, Lloyd is turning his focus to just how much these issues will hinder Stringer's chances of landing at a new club.<\/p>\n

It follows Essendon only offering the 30-year-old a one-year contract extension<\/a>, when he reportedly pushed for two.<\/p>\n

\"Jake<\/p>\n

"Part of me feels that the Bombers are wondering (if) they'd be a better place without him (Stringer)," Lloyd said on Nine's Footy Classified<\/em> on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

He is now urging the Bombers to stick to their guns and keep control over the forward, who is in the spotlight in more ways than one.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"(Offer Stringer) one year and say, 'if you can find two (at a different club), good luck to you. We'll take you at what we think is fair'," he said.<\/p>\n

"Jake probably thinks, 'I've played my last game (at Essendon)', but this certainly isn't going to help him\ufeff in regards to other clubs.<\/p>\n

\"Jake<\/p>\n

"It's not the situation he would want."<\/p>\n

And Damien Barrett is already concerned it has ruined Stringer's chances of completing a trade to rivals Collingwood.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"We know there were people at Collingwood arguing for him heavily\ufeff and there were equally people at Collingwood saying, we are not touching him," he said.<\/p>\n

"I'd imagine (this report) has probably pushed it over the edge."<\/p>\n

The AFL trade period begins on Monday, October 9.\ufeff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
