Following our exes...................

Re: Following our ex's...................

I must admit I was just devastated about letting Stringer go.
I mean, I understood in the end, but 2015 just had me so brimming with pride and excitement that WE had the most exciting talent in the league, (well 2 of them counting the Bont) and I was just looking forward to 10 years of Stringer magic.Then it all turned to dust in our hands, like a mirage in the desert.

And I must confess I can't help checking his stats every Bombers game and it gives me great satisfaction to see him totally fizz out at the club I hate the most. It wouldn't even bother me if the Bombers dumped him and then he came good at another club (except Hawthorn) but it would have caused me immense Psychological anguish to see Jakey tearing it up for Effingdon.

Seems he's simply incapable of learning. I hope he DOESN"T read Judd's article.

I know it's complicated, but did we kind of turn Jake into Richards and Schache?

If we did we've already 'won' that one.

Now let's just hope Schache does something.

That Jake Stringer thread on Bomberblitz is a thing of beauty. If you slow it down enough you can see the frame where Ralph's heart actually breaks.

Could you please paste a link? I wanna crack a beer and soak it all in

Post from Bomberblitz, "A guy who needed to learn about teamwork and discipline, couldn’t be in a worse team right now."

Couldn't say it any better than this disgruntled Bomber fan.

Re: Following our ex's...................

If the alleged sledge by Baguley is true, then it leads one to access him as some sort of scum sucking bottom dweller; but fortunately for him he is at the right club to have a few mates.

Yeah not true:

Good article by Judd.

https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/...14-p4zf5i.html

Actually the article managed to make me feel a certain amount of fear for Stringer’s well-being. I never wanted him to do well at the horrible Bombres but he now seems to be the whipping boy for all the disappointment of the self entitled don the sash mob.

I wonder if Judd was as forthright on his views towards his own teammates from WCE when their drug culture was thriving?

Its probably why he had no hesitation walking out the door.

The colour of Carlton's cardboard and the lure of home would have had more to do with him leaving Weat Coast than any moral outrage Judd was feeling I would think.

Re: Following our ex's...................

What a shambles Essendon are.

They're claiming Stringer needs to build his fitness to return to his 2015/16 level performances, and he needs time at Essendon to do that because he's coming from so far back.

No one in the media questions these sorts of statements, but essentially what Essendon said was he was fit enough to be a premiership player and All Australian at the Bulldogs but not fit enough to get a kick as Essendon, and their standards are so high he needs time to catch up. This is the club that hasn't won a final in 5000 days and hasn't finished above 7th in 15 years. That's of course ignoring the fact that he looks like he swallowed a sheep during preseason at Essendon. They have absolutely no idea what they're doing, they're a rambling, disorganised, shambles of a football club. They did however win the trade period once again

The media happily accept that Essendon's obviously superior system somehow means that, although Jake was fit enough to win AA selection and a premiership with us, he was somehow going to turn into a super fit beast of an athlete (which is a narrative you'd think they'd be avoiding with their players for a bit) that was going to waste with us. We didn't really prepare Jake properly for the rigours of AFL football but it was ok now because a proper club had him now and would utilise him properly.

But somehow the message "get our superior system to prepare Jake Stringer accordingly for AFL football" got translated as "let Jake eat all the pies he wants" somewhere at Tullamarine.

I tell you what I would be interested on Jake Stringer's opinion on. How much softer the floor at Tullamarine is than it is at Whitten oval. We haven't heard that yet,

Why is it I read the bomberblitz page on Stringer with the picture of 4 nuns singing "How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?" in my head (and a smile on my face)

Re: Following our ex's...................

While y'all talking about Stringer & Baguley, don't forget they have a team mate suspended for biting a player on the ground. An ex-coach currently on serious drugs charges, and alleged to be on the gear at the time. A bunch of banned and sanctioned officials. It seems, quite seriously, the period of the doping period/program was the actual high point in Essendon's culture and behaviour in the last decade or two.

The phrasing for "how do you solve a problem like Stringer" fits perfectly. If you hold the last syllable for a while anyway.

How do you solve a problem like Strin-geer?

Wow. That is sweet stuff. What about the poster who says there’s nothing wrong with Stringer, just EVERYONE around him. I hope Jake
reads that one!

Re: Following our ex's...................

Essendon and its supporters are all delusional and I love it.
False sense of entitlement , a lot like Carlton early on and I see them having to replace everyone from player to president to change this culture they have , but it will never happen until someone from outside with high morals enters the doors and cleans out the massive ego.
