    Re: Jake Stringer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I reckon less than 5 players in the entire competition could have kicked the goal that Stringer kicked in the last qtr of the GF. It was insanely difficult and his hands and mind were ridiculously clean and quick, not to mention the flawless finish by foot with only a fraction of a second to execute.

    One of the best pressure goals I've ever seen considering how much heavy traffic was in the vicinity and how little time and space he had to firstly gather the ball and then to get it onto the boot. That one moment was worth 1,000 other nondescript moments from other players.

    I'd say his injury affected him more than we really know. Would love for an injury-free Stringer to come out and dominate again

    I'd be pretty stoked if they were my highlights but I get your point.

    I think his split second snap in the semi against Hawthorn was even better.

    In even heavier traffic, off balance and actively trying to avoid a smother.

    It was out of absolutely nowhere.

    He had less time in that one he kicked in the Granny. He looks up and kicks around his body in the Semi in the Granny he just gets a ball in congestion from MaCrae and throws it on his boot.

    This will be his year. For all his failings in games last year I believe he worked hard and learnt humility on the footy field. Made better decisions too rather than always getting caught etc. It was a real learning year for him. Another year of experience and with Crammers and Cloke to help out he'll be unstoppable this year. Could easily be in the top 10 players in the AFL at the end of the season. He could do anything, take mark of the year (it's going to happen at some stage) and kick 70 goals...

    I wouldn't stop at 70. Can you get a bet on about who the next player to kick 100 goals will be? Jakey could do it. Not this season but in his twilight when he hasn't got the legs he used to and we play him out of the goalsquare almost exclusively.

    I think he and Kennedy are the two most likely players in the comp to be the next one to kick 10 in a match.

    Tom Lynch from Gold Coast. Could well be the best KPF this year. Beast.

    Lynch is a good prospect. He's no Tom Boyd but he's pretty good.

    Re: Jake Stringer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Jessie Hogan looks likely to kick big bags this year. He is a great contested mark and reads the flight well. He's one player that makes me nervous when we play the dee's.

    Jake had a lot going on last year with injury, form and private life. Hopefully this year things settle for him and he can get back to his best or even better. His highlight reel is craziness.

    Re: Jake Stringer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Call me crazy but I think he is going to have a monster year this season and be at around 70 goals.

    It is a good prediction. Every chance to have a great season this year and boosted by the return on Crameri and the addition of Cloke. Was great to see last Thursday night particularly in the 2nd half how he approached it.
