    Re: Stringer needs to “really commit” to dogs, says teammate

    I just wish PG would come out and give the loyal fans some sort of optimistic comment instead of letting us get media bashed and leave us all in the lurch, making it worse.

    7 sport saying the Cats could be an option for Jake and that he is really on the outer and we are going to put him on the trade table. Once again more rumours to keep us wondering.

    Nothing worthwhile to trade. No salary cap room. I see the fact checker was made redundant, and some time ago.

    Let's face it every club will be linked to Stringer and it wouldn't be right for a club not to ask the question.

    From dusty to Jake and we know how the dusty thing worked out.
    And not one media person admit being wrong about him signed and gone to north.

    Re: Stringer needs to “really commit” to dogs, says teammate

    Stringer has kicked 160 goals in 89 career matches after being selected at pick six in the 2012 draft, but has suffered from a slump in form over the past 12 months and averaged just 1.4 goals per game this season — his lowest output since 2014
    Stringer was pick 5

    There's obviously something to this given Wallis' comments, but not convinced he is definitely going
    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    Amazing isn't it. Probably only a couple of people in the meeting yet everyone knows everything.

    I had this chat with a Mate a few weeks back, not really a peep this year and something does really need to be said.

Blow some smoke up his arse , tell him how good he can be but tell him to follow your lead.
    Also shares a house with Caleb Daniel and Josh Prudden so he is surrounded by good people.Jake has struggled for form for the past two years and you would hope that common sense prevails and that he can get back to playing the type of football that would see him return to his best.

    Bingo.

    It could be the apparent three coaching/list management personnel in the meeting just couldn't all keep mum about the meeting's content, or, it could be an extremely one-sided version of events has been aired by Stringer to somebody, and relayed to all and sundry.

    In this type of scenario, who has the most to gain from airing this type of information?

    The club gets a bit out of it, if they actually want to announce that Stringer is on the market. The player manager gets to create tension in the market and earn a higher commission for a player coming out of contract within 12 months.

    Stringer could be the type of guy who lets things out when emotional without thinking of the consequences of doing so in front of people he doesn't really know or shouldn't trust. He could have leaked it himself intentionally.

    Which one do you reckon it might be? Oh, and stop picking on the Titanic, it only had one real leak.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

    There's a heap of different ways to think about this. I mean lots and lots of things to think about. Hopefully he, the club or PG can just stop this wildfire turning into an extreme bushfire for the club and members/fans, and if he goes that could seriously change the club's list management plans and contingencies we had going into the FA window and trade window. I just hope no mistakes are made or opportunities lost if this is actually a thing.

    Re: Stringer needs to “really commit” to dogs, says teammate

    After the season we had, commentators are going to speculate about our players and list - its the easy story

    Im sure we can get on top of a few of these spot fires and get our boys back, fit, and up and running
