Stringer 'line ball' to stay at Bombers as surprise suitor emerges


ESSENDON champion Matthew Lloyd says it "wouldn't be the worst thing" if the Bombers let Jake Stringer move to a rival club as Sydney emerged as a possible landing spot for the enigmatic forward.

As reported by AFL.com.au's Cal Twomey last week, Stringer hit a trigger for a new one-year deal at the Bombers for 2025 by playing 36+ games across the past two seasons.


The 30-year-old is keen on the security of a longer deal and AFL.com.au's chief football correspondent, Damian Barrett, revealed on Monday that Sydney has emerged as a club of interest.


"The Bombers themselves have made a bold call of sorts already by telling (Stringer) to go and explore the market because they're only going to offer him one year," Barrett said on AFL.com.au's Access All Areas on Monday.

Only possible due to the Bloods culture, of course. Can't wait to be force fed more of that bullshit.

What would Essendon be asking for Stringer? 2 first rounders?

They could ask that but if you are only willing to offer him a 1 year deal (fair enough too) you can't ask the world for his services, obviously we know he's so bloody talented but his lack of professionalism has to drive his value down quite a lot, i think 2nd rounder at best, he's old enough now he simply cannot be trusted.

If they are serious with the reports indicating they don't want to give him a deal then maybe a third rounder would get it done otherwise they'd honor the deal. It's essentially a salary cap dump for them.

Re: Following our exes...................

Sydney should offer a 4th rounder

Stringer will be off Essington's books

He be a stop gap for 1 year for Sydney , mayb 2 with a trigger clause, until their young tall fwds can develop.
Not sure what he could offer for Amarty, McDonald, McLean Hayward ??? Can't see Stringer busting a pack mark.
Sydney maybe seeing the moneyball appeal.


GWS be a better fit as a foil for JEsse Hogan.

If Stringer left as a FA does he qualify Essendon for compensation? If so I could see them looking for something there

Given his age and likely contract I'm not sure he'd even trigger band 5

Maybe Sydney should ask for 4th rounder to take Stringer. They would need to employ a personal fitness trainer as well.

I thought about a lap band joke but I am too mature to post that
