AFL Player #25: Jake Stringer - Dead-eye

[Lore]

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

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

I’ll tell you what Jakey, you do that for every game for the rest of the season including the Granny and we’ll pay you the imaginary Ralph figure.

 

[Megabattimus]

Was the difference today. Pay the man.

 

[Beerfish]

I still maintain that you just give him the four years that he wants at a reasonable salary. Nobody else like him on our list.

And if that's not good enough just pay him the difference outside the cap get creative.

 

[boncer34]

So yeah, apologies for suggesting that I would be happy to ship “him out if he can’t set the right example”.

amazing how sensitive people are around here .

I’m right too by the way.

 

[DERO]

Context is a wonderful thing!

 

[Nicholas61]

Another match winning performance.

 

[Seb78]

 

[Vander18]

Stringer and Parish are transformed athletes. Both are covering noticeably more ground at higher speed.

Don’t if they just pulled the finger out or if we finally brought someone in with a clue re physical preparation but the change is very clear.

Still a Bulldog at heart

 

[windyhill]

Adore this man, as I have often professed.

 

[bomberman500]

Guess Jake had a proofread of Merretts contract this week

 

[windyhill]

Still a Bulldog at heart

 

[fishardansin]

Still a Bulldog at heart

Yeah that is why he made sure you got a first-rounder in exchange for him.

 

[Mercurial89]

The thing people sometimes forget that as good as Richmond's system has been you need a superstar to stand up and wrench a game away from the opposition, Dusty does it with monotonous ease.

Jake could be our version. The whole group weren't exactly on today, the system was keeping us in the game but he was the difference.

 

[MiguelM]

Thought he might have been due for a good game but wow!

 

[Chief Hopper]

It feels like he won us the match today. Such a complete effort.

 

[Ati Tude]

Still a Bulldog at heart

Yeah, Nah. Nah.

 

[TheFrenchCut]

Dodoro watching Stringer put this performance together before getting the contract done:

 

[Tassieboy]

Never mind the rest of his game but either one of Stringer’s goals at the end of the 2nd quarter or early in the last quarter might have been the difference.

 

[naraku]

Probably his best game for us, maybe his most complete period.

 

[HurlsMeister18]

 

[Bombers36]

You don't think that's unreasonable?

Absolutely no chance he gets 800K over 4 years from anyone unless they're really desperate. He is injured at least twice a year not including preseason then takes a couple of games to get into it again. He has also come back from injury unfit many times.

Hey JayJ20 - Jake Stringer says hello...!!!

 

[JayJ20]

Not only was that his best game for us, but that was his career-best game.

29 disposals equals his career best
18 contested possessions is his career best.
180 Supercoach points is his career best
Can't find stats for metres gained, but 687 metres gained is likely his career best as well
10 inside 50s also a career best

He was the reason we won.

Hey JayJ20 - Jake Stringer says hello...!!!

Yeah he had a great game but 800K over 4 years? Cmon.

 

[Bombers36]

Not only was that his best game for us, but that was his career-best game.

29 disposals equals his career best
18 contested possessions is his career best.
180 Supercoach points is his career best
Can't find stats for metres gained, but 687 metres gained is likely his career best as well

He was the reason we won today.

So you'd consider paying him 800K a year now for 4 years?
