AFL Player #25: Jake Stringer - Dead-eye

[Lore]

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

You’d think they’d take him to be around the boys, plus rehab with our physios looking over him. He can’t rehab with people outside the essendon staff in Melbourne anyway. Plus the weather isn’t too bad up there.

A couple of swims in the ocean and he'll be fine?

He's also apparently our only player with kids, so there's that consideration, and we don't know what the rehab facilities are going to be like at these resorts, nor things like access to specialists, surgery, etc. who are outside the club staff by default.

If it's just a month long holiday with nothing else to worry about, why the hell not. But it's more than that.

 

[ghostdog]

Stewart is out of iso and available, but has zero match conditioning. Gown must be nearly ready to come back. There's also Begley, and Laverde is already in the side, so he could step up a bit... maybe.

Is that Jimmy on the left?

Lid on


Oh I forgot McKenna too. He's smaller but no less dangerous.

Yeah it’s definitely a consideration, but it’s only an ankle. I’m sure Heppell is a big chance of going and Stringer will be back before him.

Heppell is also the captain.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

****! Huge blow. Last 2 mins ffs. Didn’t Heppell go down last few minutes of training?

Gown is miles away from a game, was average in VFL. Need Stewart back

 

[ghostdog]

Forget I mentioned anything about Bellchambers then. If Stewart is ready, I'd be happy with:
Laverde Stewart Mcdonald-Tipungwuti
McKenna McKernan Fantasia/Langford

 

[boncer34]

Our medical team is going. Unless the AFL let's us bring in an outsider he'll probably have to go with them.

 

[andleanback]

Heppell is also the captain.

Correct, I’m just saying if stringer had a choice I think it’d be do rehab with our staff and be around the group.

Does that mean we're also taking Lachie Johnson and the others? I would think anyone who is available would have to go up because you can't play a scratch match by yourself and you're no use to anyone in Melbourne, so I'd think like the Irish guys and first years and what have you would go, even if they're like a 2% chance of playing seniors this year.

When Woosha was asked in the post-match presser last night about whether Joe would be go into the hub though he said that we wouldn't necessarily take everyone and it was something that would be weighed up. It seemed to be a question of whether or not Joe would be available for the games scheduled during the 32 day block.

 

[Atavistic]

Played a great game through the midfield last night. He was involved in a lot of good plays. Will be sorely missed.

****! Huge blow. Last 2 mins ffs. Didn’t Heppell go down last few minutes of training?

Clearly, we have to cut out the last few minutes of everything.

Unless we can find someone to adequately manage their rehab I'd imagine so.

Maybe we leave a couple medical staff here and find replacements up North.

Here's the quote from Worsfold, more details from the club soon apparently.

"We have had some bad news around his ankle injury. It looks like he's going to miss a number of weeks which is really disappointing for Jake and for us obviously," Worsfold told Fox Footy.

"It's a syndesmosis injury. I've only had the basic outline of it, the club will probably release some information around that shortly. He's going to be unavailable for a number of weeks.

"Generally they are at least a four-week injury. We've seen players get back in that time if they have had surgery, but we don't know what the outcome at the moment is. He'll need to see surgeon to discuss whether that's the option we will go down.

"They can be up to three-month injury, we don't know where his sits at the moment."

UPDATE: Star Bomber set to miss up to three months

Jake Stringer's late ankle injury against Collingwood was a rare low point on a night of highs for Essendon

And of course what part did afl.com.au quote as their headline? :/

Like clockwork

 

[Old Stuckup]

Hopefully it turns out to be just the one month. Great opportunity for the likes of Laverde, Townsend and Fantasia.

 

[blitzer]

This really sucks. I still maintain I'd like to see BZT in and Hooker forward. Its the easiest most ready solution we have to ensuring our forward line remains competitive. Can re-assess once Joe is ready.

 

[Lore]

There's the update. 6-8 weeks. Rehab in Melbourne, no surgery.

The Bombers can confirm forward Jake Stringer sustained a syndesmosis injury during Friday night’s win over Collingwood at the MCG.

Scans today revealed the nature of the injury, with the 26-year-old likely to be sidelined for at least the next six to eight weeks.

“It’s disappointing for both Jake and the club. He had a terrific game on Friday evening and underwent scans earlier today which confirmed the nature of his ankle injury,” general manager of football Dan Richardson said.

“The club will fully support Jake in his recovery and he will complete his rehabilitation program in Melbourne over the coming weeks.”

[Beerfish]

Well. That escalated quickly.

 

[11kgm]

Hope Lav takes the bull by the horns in Stringers place if not maybe throw McKenna forward

 

[JayJ20]

Well at least he can stay with his children now.

 

[fairbump_playon]

Sucks for Jake. Patchy forwardline about to look like Frankenstein's monster.
Langford forward could now be a real thing. Dare I say, we could play Bellchambers out of the square?

Hooker forward could still be on the table as well.

No. We cannot play Bellchambers out of the square.

 

[ghostdog]

No. We cannot play Bellchambers out of the square.

Meh. You're too late. I refer you to post #2883.

 

[Howard Moon]

Is this the Injury Gleeson had?
