AFL Player #25: Jake Stringer

[Lore]

Contract Status: Out of contract 2024
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 19, Harlequin

 

[Red Black and Blue]

I ******* love this man, he is currently one of the most balanced forwards going around. In the air and on the ground, competing against multiple opponents.

 

[CBombers17]

Great consistency from Jake. Good to see him slot a couple of tough goals as well. If he's dialed it in then look out.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Love his competitiveness

When his team mates around him are falling over he stands up to get the momentum back our way.

 

[eth-dog]

Other than the reluctance to give first option, absolute jet.

 

[GO DONS!]

Absolute warrior. The rest of the team need to see the way stringer plays as the bare minimum and get on his level. This bloke will take us deep into September.

 

[Stopher]

Him, Joe, Tippa and Raz in the same forward line. How often has this happened?

Clearly not enough!

Clearly not enough!

Add Laverde and a lighter Stewart and you have me with a massive boner.

Clearly not enough!

Twice. Rounds 3 and 4 last year. Our loss to the Dogs and our win over the Power.

Stringer, JD, AMT, Raz and McKernan - probably our favoured combo - have never played together.

 

[JayDon]

On the verge of a big bag of goals!!!

 

[Darealrath]

On the verge of a big bag of goals!!!

I'm waiting for him to have one of those throw back 5 or 6 goal explosions he had at the dogs. Four vs Bris the other week is his best with us.

6-10 is my guess. Next week probably!?

 

[Darealrath]

6-10 is my guess. Next week probably!?

That'd be sweet, especially as the cats were keen on him!

 

[GO DONS!]

6-10 is my guess. Next week probably!?

Wouldnt doubt him. He’s made for big moments.

Add Laverde and a lighter Stewart and you have me with a massive boner.

Bigger than a shinboner?

[Jobe_zaka]

Very impressed with his contribution, good on you Jake. I like many have followed the trouncing you have received for your personal life in the media while being traded and your reaction is great to see for the EFC and you personally. He has been one of the most consistent performers for us this year and has been a genuine steal in the trade market.

 

[JayJ20]

One knock on him. Just one.

He tries taking on 3-4 players to score the hero goal when there's another option inside 50. He does that once or twice almost every game. Should look to pass when players are open.

Other than that, gun.

That adds up to 19, how does that work? Forgive my ignorance!

Sometimes a disposal can count as both somehow. I don't know the specifics.

I had the same thought - perhaps if you win it in a contested situation, run away and then dispose of the ball in an uncontested manner? Not sure, seems to be over complicating things for the sake of it.

I notice that too. I always find myself thinking 'if 4 blokes are tackling him, how many of our blokes are free to give the ball off to?'

Every free kick is a contested possession, so maybe a handball receive before you get taken high counts as both?

 

[fishardansin]

He's only 25 folks!! I personally think he's good to bob up and snag one or two in a big game. When he kicks a bag it will be over a lowly team.

 

[Doss]

One thing that's a bit weird with Jake, when he has a set shot from a really tight angle on the boundary or deep in the pocket, I'm really confident he will slot the goal. And he normally does.

The easier shot from less acute angles is where he can still be a bit iffy. It's really odd.

Very happy with how he's going overall though.
