AFL Player #25: Jake Stringer - Dead-eye

[Lore]

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

He's one of two players to kick a goal in every round this year. The other is Hawkins.

Heard a stat this morning that he is one of only two players (Tom Hawkins the other) to kick a goal in all 9 games this year.

Handy.

Read the thread mate

He mentioned visiting the royal Children’s hospital around once a week working with Challenge for kids with cancer. Good for him for spending his spare time giving back to the community.

I reckon there would be a bit more hype about Jake, his consistency and some of his dynamic performances if we were a better side (and not Essendon).

 

[The Donners]

I don't think Walla will be as high because even though his good games have been really good, he's had 5 really bad games. Shiel, Heppell, Hurley, etc will poll better because they haven't had many really bad games.

I thought Walla had 2 bad games after ANZAC Day (everyone played bad round 1) and I put it down to what I thought was a cork he sustained.

Bump. Possible hamstring injury

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

stringer done a string..thats funny except i am actually crying

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Game over man, game over.

 

[eth-dog]

WHY, GOD WHY?

 

[Highly Evolved]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Was having a great season. I'm not at the game or anywhere near it. Is there any chance he is ok?

 

[HirdyLannister]

We can't take a trick

 

[Beerfish]

Just awful.

[VelvetSledge]

3-4 weeks, piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiss

 

[Blind Turn]

3-4 weeks, piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiss

Includes bye, no?

 

[eth-dog]

So could be back for West Coast (although being a Thursday I doubt it.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Includes bye, no?

That's true actually, yeah. That's cushioned the blow somewhat

 

[daffo]

Not a bad outcome. I would expect they rest Shiel giving him two weeks to recover.

String missing one of those weeks with the bye will be helpful also.

We lost our last two b/f winners to season ending injuries during the week then 2 of our best 3 performed in the year during the game. It sucked but you can at least see the light at the end of the tunnel

Nah that's just another car driving in the opposite direction, still plenty of tunnel to go.

 

[The Prosecutor]

Our injury updates suggests that he will likely only miss this weekend, before returning against Hawthorn post bye.

IMO the young blokes have looked at the effort Tippa and Stringer have put in from game 1 and thought give me a crack.
I posted very early that the only two blokes having a crack were the above two.

You are taking the piss if you think Hooker, Hurley, Redman and Saad have not been busting a gut each week.

No, I was more having a dip at the early knocking of Tippa and Stringer.

I was there in the cancer ward over Christmas and there was already a WEG-style poster of Jake on the wall, signed. Methinks he's been there more than once. Good on him.

Can confirm he was there last week. My son snagged a photo after treatment.
