[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

He's more rounded player now.

Love him

 

[Red Black and Blue]

He's more rounded player now.

Love him

28 pressure acts (third on the ground).
3 clearances in the third quarter, 2 of them centre clearances
7 ground ball gets (more than half his disposals)
2 goals

He is a freak.

 

[Vindicater]

Was amazing tonight.

Last week Nathan Brown summed it up perfectly. He is someone you would switch ends for.

When he is bad he is good.

When he is good he is great.

 

[Darealrath]

Treats tacklers with absolute disdain. Has so much confidence in his ability to shake them off.

Loved the don't argue on Shiel too!

 

[DERO]

Is he a sneaky AA chance?

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Is he a sneaky AA chance?

Sure a s**t is if he finishes with 40 goals

 

[NAB777]

If you were coaching this guy, all you would need to do is get it into his brain pre-match that he is a pressure player first and foremost.

If he's doing the 1%'s, the rest of his game is on.

 

[Beerfish]

Is he a sneaky AA chance?

Is an Essendon player so I'll say no.

 

[blitzer]

Is he a sneaky AA chance?

If he has a big finish to the season then yes. Far from a lock but I reckon he could come into serious consideration.

 

[Loonerty]

That banana is ridiculous.

 

[carnthedons]

Loved the banana, the dead eye set shots too but that hip strength, wow, so hard to tackle

 

[TheBrightSide]

 

[brutus76]

I ***** love Jake.

Really seems to be enjoying footy.

Makes the highly difficult look ridiculously easy

 

[Darealrath]

Is he a sneaky AA chance?

On impact, definitely.

But I don’t think I’ve ever seen a forward half player whose stats and impact are so far apart, and that will probably hurt his chances.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Stringer's core strength is out of this world. Tackling him would be like trying to stop a moving tree, it defies physics.

[quotemokc]

What a guy.

 

[Harlequin]

Thank you for coming to Essendon

 

[citizen-erased]

25+30
just gonna say this every week as a way of pinching myself

 

[brmi]

It still hurts. Absolutely love this bloke. While it kills me to see him playing so well, I still love watching him do what he does each week - just wish it was in the Red White and Blue!

 

[Beerfish]

That has to be one of the quickest goals from centre ever. 5 seconds tops?

 

[yodellinhank]

Easy thread title update this week?

 

[doug85]

And for those of you that have just joined us, this Kent only cost us two second round draft picks

for an unfit fat * he plays the football pretty good.
