This bloke is as good as it gets, don't underestimate his limits. .......................and he's ours

Dixon always takes cracks at Essendon. You’ll notice he also backed it up by having a unsolicited crack at us not winning a final in XXXXX days. Take what he says with a grain of salt there’s a reason he’s been relegated to that cringe show Bounce

core part of the years where the hawks went how long without winning a final?

Same as brereton, he’s gone past the boring stage brereton, he can not let Essendon go without continually having a crack. We live in his head. Dunstall is the same, not as strident as brereton but always having a dig. I can’t say they should move on because they clearly can’t.

Good article …his maturity comes across and big influence of Rutten and Caracella. Shows players like more direction.

‘I just literally rock up’: The secret to Stringer’s success

Jake Stringer shapes as the man who can dictate the Bombers’ finals destiny and the first step in this comes against his former premiership teammates on Sunday.

I’ve got them shoehorning Bont on a flank at the expense of Zorko.

Bont will get in on star power

He was the #1 ranked player from rounds 1-15, #46 from 16-23

If Parish doesn't make it because his quiet start as some are suggesting Bont should definitely miss out

 

[eth-dog]

Bont is no chance of missing

Difference with Derm is he is apologetically unabashed about it, like its his schtick.
And I'm ok with it, like he gives Essendon credit where its due, and then takes a cheeky dig. Id do the same to his mob if I was a talking head

Fair enough, to me he is the worst special comments bloke going around, his Essendon blind spot just adds to the verbal diarrhoea.

Agreed. I actually like that about him. Rivalry is a great part of our game. He does it in a cheeky way, not a campaignery way.

3rd most effective i50 target in the league. The guy is a jet.

Yep. And he's one of the best analysts in the game on TV

 

[Ambrosia]

Don’t agree at all. All he does is critique forwards leading patterns

Sticking to what you know isn’t a bad thing when it comes to commentary. Most of them just make it up and talk about s**t that’s 2-3 years out of date

 

[Ambrosia]

Yeah he’s no where near the worst. Wouldn’t say he’s someone offering interesting analysis like a Leppitsch or a Ross Lyon for instance.

 

[bomberman500]

Yep. And he's one of the best analysts in the game on TV

yeah agree. talks quite a bit about what to do off the ball, rather than just what players should do when they have the ball

 

[Dan26]

Derm sprouts verbal diarrhoea in his analysis. Uses a million words when a handful will do. But I like his digs at Essendon. It's good natured and he plays it up for a bit of fun. No issue with that at all.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

According to the HS.

Stringer is the No.1 rated player in the AFL since round 14.

He credits Rutten with turning around his self-belief:

for rebuilding his eroded self-belief and granting him the freedom that has seen the match winner transform into Essendon’s version of Dustin Martin.

[PressureCooker]

I disagree. Stick to his strengths which is centre bounce bull and dangerous forward. Best of both worlds. He's shown he gets a bit lost around the ground when playing midfield for extended minutes and struggles to have an impact outside of stoppages.

Really liked how the coaches used him on the weekend. Actually showed they are willing to try a thing or two outside the box.

Anyone else getting really tired of all this talk about his "new role" this year? We've been playing him this way for the best part of 3 seasons. Difference is this year he has the fitness/confidence to play it in beast mode for most of the game.

And please stop with the Dusty comparisons, he's not Dusty, he's Jake f&%#ing Stringer and I love him!

Yep. I think this all the time. Don't feel his role has changed much either but even Jake mentioned something a out a new role so who knows.

 

[WindyHillWarrior]

the difference is stringer is also one of our best defensive act players. martin had 21 other guys defend for him.

 

[11kgm]

Maybe our fitness coach is working first Parish then Stringer. Also add Lav

His role has definitely changed

He was previously swapping minutes between playing Mid and then Playing forward

When people mention the “Dusty Role” it’s almost exclusively starting in the midfield at clearance, and then rolling forward to try create a mismatch in opponent

 

[Highly Evolved]

Looks like he will miss the team now. I hope he doesn't. Massive year.
