Jake Stringer - 50 Games

[Ozza]

Congratulations to Jake Stringer on 50 games this weekend.

In his 49 games to date, he has already delivered 92 goals (including one bag of 6, three bags of 5, and 4 goals on eight occasions). Not to mention some time on the ball, a stint in defence learning the caper - and in all that time, too many highlight reel moments to mention.

It is daunting to think about what the next 50 games will bring. Scary even.

So glad he wears our colours.

The Package.

Will be AA this year

There's going to come a time when he gets completely off the leash and kicks a massive, massive bag.

Well done Jesse

He feels like the type of player that could get hot in a final and take the game away from a team in a quarter. Hopefully we see it this year.

[F'scary]

May every game be a Package game.

Kicked 6 to 3/4 time when we beat Adelaide and then was subbed off.

Love to see him kick a bag on Saturday night.

If he has 6 to 3 quarter time on Saturday night...then it will be party time!

Congrats Jakey !!

Let's hope cheer squad are able to sing "There's only one Jakey Stringer" lots of time this Sat. and that you weave lots of Stringer magic on the big stage.

Is it 50 for Jake?

I have it down as 40 games to Jake Stringer and 10 games to Jesse Stringer. Great effort for both Stringers.

Would love a 10+ minute highlights 'package' of Jake's first 50 games. You'd be hard pressed to find a player with a better one.

I know Turtle had an awesome first 50 games, he was a clear highlight in those years, but between Stringer and the Bont, are they the best 50 gamers we have ever seen at our club?

I mean the package just does whatever the hell the package wants, doesn't even pay postage. He flicks that beast mode switch and puts on a show.
The Bont is a human highlight reel, does things that others simply cannot.

Is it just me but does it feel like we have both superman AND Batman on the same team?

Which is which?

My gut says Bonti is Superman and Stringer is Batman.

'The Package' is the reason most of my mates love watching the Dogs, and a number of neutrals are asking to borrow some colours for Saturday night.

Hope he turns it on and showcases some brilliance, and maturity, on the big stage. It's set for him to do so.

I've been on board since he brushed aside a couple of ?Hawks players in a NAB Cup match at Etihad and slotted the goal with a checkside. I was out of my seat and knew we had something special.

It's only got better since then. Does Macca get any credit for giving him that stint in defence last year? His end to last year was almost as good as this year...

Macca doesn't get credit for anything. .. Seriously if Jake picked up a couple of tips playing in defence it was useful.

As with others I hope he brings it on Saturday night, there is extremely high expectations on Jake, but looking from the outside he seems the type who likes to be 'the man'.

I hope the next 150 are as much fun as the last 30.
