Could the Bulldogs end up winning the Jake Stringer trade?

Re: Could the Bulldogs end up winning the Jake Stringer trade?

When he is switched on he is a terrific player. Yes he has some deficiencies but we learned to accept them when he played for us.

Most Essendon fans that I know think he's been good enough

He is always capable of so much more but he may never get to that level

I agree with all of this.

I have nothing against him really, as a few posters seem to do. He could have been anything with us, still could be, but I doubt it will happen.

He's a decent player limited by his own effort (or lack of). A bit of a bonehead off field apparently and I wasn't upset to lose him.

As others pointed out
Stringer put himself in the departure lounge in 2017
He plays a bit on his own terms IMHO

There's a segue crack in there begging re: Jakey's pre-season self-assessment but in truth you simply can not top him humbly broadcasting to the world he was "borderline flying".

Covid19 has a lot to answer for.

Jake's off field antics was the reason he was shown the door. A premiership player for us so will be always welcomed back to the club.
