    Re: "They" call him The Package

    When I say "Stringer" my 13 month old daughter does her one finger point to the crowd. Her newest party trick. (Also her dad's favourite)

        Re: "They" call him The Package

        I met up with a couple of friends after the Brisbane game and before they even said hello they pointed their index finger sideways to an imaginary crowd.

                I don't like it. It sounds like a completely literal translated Asian to English porn title. But even The Wiz fell on hard times and needed the career option, so who knows, it might be a blessing in disguise for him post footy.

                    Im gonna have to say. But jake is in no way the complete player. Great highlights and in our best 22. But a complete player is. Gary ablett or nat fyfe.

                        He's only 21 and had the best part of 2 years out of the game with a snapped leg. There is still improvement left in him
                        If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

                            I think he'll end up as good as Fyfe(Ablett snr was the best I've seen, so no shame in not getting to that level) and better than Bonti. It's going to be so much fun watching these 2 dictating games over the next decade.

                            What can't Jake do that makes him no way complete IYO?

                                I agree he could be a complete player. Just at the moment he lacks the consistent output. In regards to his tank and defensive pressure. At times he just looks lazy on the field. But hes probably just gassed. He will get better. Geez he does some great highlight footage tho. Not keen on anything BT comes up with. Hes a twat. Carn the dogs!!!. In wellington tonight ..hopefully can find a pub to play the game.

                                    I think it's more to do with him still being only 21. The rest of that stuff will come and when it does what an amazing player we will have.

                                        My mates from work were all over it a couple of weeks ago and it was a bit annoying, but it was also great that it was one of our players with a rising profile and not someone from their team. I was quietly smug.....

                                            It's Stringerrrrrr!!! for mine, but like the fact that one of ours is in the limelight. However, Jake needs to do the simple things consistently, the miraculous things on a fairly regular basis and take us into previously un-visited territory occasionally to become a superstar. He certainly has the potential to be that. Freakish events? Who remembers Fitzroy's Mickey Conlon headbutting an opponent in the sternum, knocking him flat then snapping a goal from 40 mts at Princes Park?

                                                That's one of the good things. As he gets fitter and stronger Jake will get better.

                                                Yep. I remember the Mickey Conlan thing. It was in the intro of WOS for ages.
