Woosha reckons if continues at this rate he'll be a 50-50 Mid/Fwd. About the best you could hope for

With his talent that could easily mean 20+ disposal, 2+ goal games.

 

[Kakkle]

Still can't believe it. What the *.

 

[Beer n Skittles]

Coudn't help it

His birthday is Anzac day, So after he kicks his 5th and I yell out "Wow It's like Jake is having his birthday party out there today" It will actually be true.

Somehow I can still see the lion..

he was an ok size before and as well can see hes trimmed up a bit....i wasnt his size that made him a bull...its his aggressive attitude that wins in that area...same as dusty...hes not massive at all...but he has guts and confidence and is aggressive in a football way

95 kegs for a 6'2 mid is not massive?

It's one of those bizarre things where you go 's**t I'd love to get him to Essendon' in like 2014, and then he becomes a gun and wins a flag and you think the horse has bolted and then we somehow bloody well go and get him, still in his complete athletic prime. And he looks brilliant in the sash to boot.

As far as unlikely goes I'd put it on par with Buddy to Sydney.

Best part is we under paid on the trade and probably on the contract, Absolute result.

Was the same with Devon Smith always thought "would love him at Essendon" when I watched the Giants play and now he is.

not really for 6,2...its average....105/110 is massive for 6,2

Who are the 105 to 110 kg midfielders?

There were a few people around here back then saying how they wanted Jake at Essendon, even after 2015 there were a few who suggested it although it never looked likely.

You're kidding, right? There are only 3 blokes who are 192/100 in the league, Lynden Dunn, Heath Grundy and Steven May. It's well above average

 

[Zach Package]

If he was 110 he wouldn't be close to if not the fastest player over 20 metres on our list, what you're saying is absurd

That's my point, it was a pipe dream and then it just happened. And not when he's 30 and well past it either, he's still got 10 years left in him

The only guy I can think of that played midfield approaching that size was Pavlich.

Buddy (included because he has the runningp ower of a mid) and Goodes are much bigger guys. Buddy may get to 105kgs at 2m but I doubt Goodes played at 100kgs.

There are a few 90-95kilo mids but that seems to be the absolute limit. Not sure that Petracca, Dusty, ect could get around the ground carrying an extra 10-15kgs.

I'm not even sure rugby players who are not forwards would be that heavy at 6'2.

Folau and Inglis (2 blokes who are the same caliber of explosive) are both listed at 102 and 105 respectively.

Take into account the fact that Stringer will be expected to do something like 12 kilometres in a game and him not being someone noted for his running and the idea that we need to 'bulk him up' becomes even more absurd.

He's already strong enough to throw blokes off, we need to keep him cut enough and lean enough so he can still take the pill and run off with it.

Dean Rioli

Still one of the best kicks of the footy you'll ever see

 

[Bombermania]

By the look of it Jake's fitness program is more about strengthening the core than adding bulk in weight although reducing weight allows for some muscle to be added.

 

[Mootsy]

Still one of the best kicks of the footy you'll ever see

Also one of the greatest at wizard like handballs.
