Re: Stringer Trade Worth

A fair few Mods from BF post here.

Can't think of any handsome, brave, smart, well chiselled individuals like BF mods who post on here...

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

I've mentioned it before, but Dusty entered the AFL system with a 14.5 beep test (above average) and was capable of significant midfield minutes during his debut year.
Stringer is 23 and has nowhere near the aerobic capacity of 19 year old Dusty.

Outside of fitness I can’t actually think of any deficiencies from within Jake’s game that have been improved upon. He competes only when he wants to, he fails to convert simple opportunities and miss handles the ball regularly.

He has a long way to go to becoming a dominant AFL player.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

One thing that surprised me about the Stringer trade, was that none else wanted him.

That says everything really.

9 other Vic clubs

Lukewarm interest by the Cats, Demons focussed on getting Lever.

Leaves 7.

Maybe Richmond does not have the cap space now, Hawks didn't really have the trade assets

Leaves 5 Vic clubs: North Carlton Saints Pies Bombers

Only I club interested.....

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

Stringer gone is good news for the club by the posts on here, close the door on your way out Jake. The club has already moved on with some sensible and astute recruiting. I couldn't give 3/5 of a rats what he does on the field next year.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

It's all just lip service.

I heard someone from Essendon say they have the structure and support around Jake to give him the best chance to succeed. The bloke hasn't even started there yet!

Maybe they've finally managed to concoct the perfect peptide #whateverittakes

Completely agree. Jake Stringer plays for another club now.

I've got a new JS, Josh Schache, to concern me.

Put Shaq in number 9 and the transition is complete.

Poor Jake doesn't even get to keep his name on the locker only playing 89 games. Oh well. In saying that he's still a bulldog premiership player though which probably trumps the name on the locker.

Despite the blinkered instinct to bullock through traffic that comes asunder more often than comes off, he really is a small crumbing forward in a big mid/old fashioned KP's body. Weirdly, the way KB played the game comes to mind.

He's going to have to expand his repertoire beyond looking for cheapies to earn his coin with the new mob.

Although those missing 11 games could've opened up a goldmine of future father/son talent given his adulterous ways.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

If he doesn't do well, me thinks he'll find the Essendon angry mob are not nearly as genteel as Bulldogs supporters. I've not heard a Bronx cheer from our fans for a good while.

Brent Stanton will tell him all about it.

And his assistant doctor Gonzo.

Re: Stringer Trade Worth

It was reported on BF that the Bont was one of the players behind getting rid of Stringer. Dunno if it is true.

Say it is, for the argument. Therefore IMO the club has made a smart investment for 2019 in getting rid of Stringer now.

IMO this will then significantly help the Bont decide that the Dogs are the club for him long term, in the face of inevitable huge offers from elsewhere.
