AFL Player #25: Jake Stringer - Dead-eye

[Lore]

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

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Now I would love to see some consistency!

Like how he backed himself in breaking tackles you can tell he’s starting to see the advantages of working hard.

Said after the game that playing in the middle for a while has helped him.

Happy for him to play that beast mid in the forward line

if you type @ and then start typing their username it should come up with a drop down list. If it's easy to spell you can just type it but I usually use the drop down so I don't accidentally tag the wrong person... e.g. Jade's instead of Jade

Oh you're so precious, I love it.

Oh you're so precious, I love it.

Uh huh. Why you being such a campaigner lately? Like moreso than is your usual..

 

[boncer34]

Uh huh. Why you being such a campaigner lately? Like moreso than is your usual..

And with that my heart is broken.

 

[Lore]

And with that my heart is broken.

 

[boncer34]

Who's the campaigner again?

 

[yaco55]

And we have that rubbish commentary from Danny Frawley - How does he get a gig ?

 

[DapperJong]

Uh huh. Why you being such a campaigner lately? Like moreso than is your usual..

This is the usual.

 

[boncer34]

This is the usual.

New number who dis?

 

[Doss]

Yeah so anyway, how good is Stringer?

 

[SherbertLemon]

I've got the feeling he'll have a few more quiet ones and then rip richmond a new bung hole. Very erratic and inconsistent.

Not the worst thing if we can have a mixture of consistent performers like Professor X and Fantapants

"Pretty good move from John Worsfold playing an All Australian Forward in the Forward Line"

 

[boncer34]

Lovely boy

 

[DERO]

He told me that he didn't like you Boncer.

 

[boncer34]

After tonight do you think that concerns me?

 

[Stopher]

Save the 'midfielder' thing for a few years from now as he improves his tank, but he looks good forward.

 

[Dave]

Looked ok when we could get the ball to him. Couldn’t get it there enough.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Looked ok when we could get the ball to him. Couldn’t get it there enough.

Agree, thought he was okay in the limited chances he had.

I still think he’s building well and will be a valuable forward for us.

 

[eDPS]

Solid game although his miss early in the 3rd pretty much killed any kind of comeback we could have made.

 

[JDavey]

Our only dangerous forward these past few weeks. Building well

 

[doug85]

On track for a 50 goal season. Awesome return for a cost of only 2 second rounders.

 

[Zach Package]

Hits the scoreboard with complete ease. He's in 3rd gear at the moment, which is a little maddening but that's part and parcel with what he is.

 

[BrunoV]

To cover the holes he leave defensively, and the shifting around of the rest of the stricture he probably has to kick 4 week to break even.

Every time he and Laverde rotated off the bench there was a Melbourne defender on his own up the ground.

The whole thing looked better when he was on the bench.

What he does do very is create a scoring opportunity when the ball gets near him. The issue is what it takes to get the ball near him.

He might as well be a lumbering ruck in a defensive sense.

 

[windyhill]

One of few who can hold his head high.
