Contract Status: Out of contract 2024

Considering his fitness challenges on the journey, it’s great to see him get to 200. Dreamtime at the G is a great way to celebrate it.

Have a good one Jake.

Spoke very well, came across quite measured and mature. Painted a good picture of the coaching staff and players.

 

[supportyourteam]

seemed to champing at the bit as he sat there. Was unimpressive in the middle against North.

I will always be indebted to this man. It was he and Devon Smith

that gave us back our swagger ( Hooky as well) We needed that arrogance, that class. Like Dyson Heppell, I’ll never bag the man. Merv Neagle is my all time favourite. He was hard, he was classy, he had swag. Jake is my modern day Merv. ****ing love him.

may not be so well remembered by some players

 

[windyhill]

Think Devon Smith may not be so well remembered by some players

He lifted standards, probably why.

 

[Zach Package]

Think Devon Smith may not be so well remembered by some players

As the only bloke that wanted to tackle, he was certainly the outsider

 

[Ati Tude]

Think Devon Smith may not be so well remembered by some players

and umpires

 

[fairbump_playon]

It was a weird mix, being so team focused about tackling and so selfish with the footy in hand.

the interview was very good. i think converting (or being interested in converting to islam) has really amplified his work ethic & made him work as hard as possible to become a great footballer.

The basket case we would have been without Stringer could have been approaching North proportions. He dragged us over the line so many times in close games. I think some of the criticism has been unfair - like last year when he couldn't do 4 months of pre season due to the Pickett inflicted head injury. Then plantar fascitis where it is impossible to move properly. Despite that he gave us the GWS and the Geelong MCG performances early on, and the unselfish pass to Durham in the Dreamtime match.

 

[Cold Sober]

Liked him at The Bulldogs, like him even more in our colors.
Has been invaluable for us and hope he continues a few seasons more.

A nice story about Jake on the eve of is 200th.

Good to see that you can teach old Dogs new tricks.

 

[Beerfish]

Hope he has a massive game. Contract year, 200 games, Dreamtime game. Kick a bag mate.

Will miss a couple form 30 out and kick a couple that most would not even consider attempting.

Was huge tonight. Close 2nd best on I’d say.
