Really hope this means he's gonna be a permanent forward next year.

* you would hope so... but this club...

Just ran into Jake at a park with his kids. Looking particularly trim

Short bursts in the midfield are a given and rightly so. He may even get more minutes if fitter.

The Collingwood game showed how much of a weapon he can be.

Certainly forward for the majority of time but no way a permanent forward.

I’ve said it before

So what you’re saying is, we should setup for every player to be out on contract in 2023 for us to win a flag?

That’s it. We need to put everyone on 1 year contracts so they perform.

Oh no wait, we also need to force them to stay at the club.

Damn. That’s a conundrum.

Stringer is one player I'd actually be OK with going on one-year contracts.

You might be but he wouldnt be and you wouldnt be if you were in his shoes

Stringer looking lean. Nice. The difficult part is staying lean.

Really is nice to see him this fit in early Jan

Should get even leaner if he’s on the track for the next 6 weeks. Great base to start with.

Not difficult - he’ll be absolutely fine unless he gets injured. Same as most players, he’s just one of those more prone to putting on weight. It’s all set up in preseason and he’s obviously got fit this year.

He obviously wasn’t in a great headspace when he got to Essendon and was battling back from there.

Plus he wanted to play mid and we sold him on that and then said ok but you have to bulk up because jeez mate you've got the physique of an All Australin forward and that's not gonna work in a midfield.

And he was like, ok wateva. Footy.

Yes.

Hopefully nothing to serious

 

[Stopher]

FMD almost identical to last season!

 

[rumply]

bugger, need this guy to get a decent run at it.

 

[yodellinhank]

Take a look at this place, take a look at this mess

 

[ghostdog]

Nackers' report saying he left the ground unassisted and not limping so probably just a minor calf rather than an ankle or knee. There is hope.

 

[EnolaGay]

He was interviewed and said it’s a bit of calf tightness and achilles inflammation (tendonitis?). Apparently they’ve been managing it for a while.

Never like to hear the word Achilles.

Please don’t turn into a fat * again

Neither do Trojans.

If I had to pick three players we can’t afford to have out this season it’s this bloke along with Ridley and Draper

Surely McGrath is on that list
