What shits me is that less than 12 months after we win a Premiership, we head straight back to our old ways with on field and off field issues surfacing.
In many ways Stringer is an ideal trade-out candidate. Inconsistent but mercurial and brilliant at his best, young enough to be seen as having 'upside' by other clubs, on a high wage with 1 year to go on his current contract. If it's a trade that is on our terms and advantages us, I'm happy to hear the offers. Stringer has too many 5-8 possession zero impact games for someone on the upper echelon pay scale for us. Also can he ever be more than a pinch hitter in midfield with his tank?
The reality is that if he has another middling year in 2018, that's 3 years in a row and his trade value plummets in 12 months' time.

Yep - too often clubs and supporters alike get sucked into what a player can do, and not what they consistently do.
How many times has Jake played well in a big game? I can only think of one - v Hawthorn in the SF. On just about every other occasion in big games against good opposition in finals and H&A, he's been ineffective.

Kicked over 40 goals last year - so your 3 is actually 2. He had a bad year this year and so did many others.

Any chance we can lure Kelly?
I was just thinking that. With StevieJ finishing up, and a likelihood of of losing Kelly, Smith, Whitfield, the lure of a flashy mercurial type like Jake to market on, GWS might play.
