I reckon big Corey McKernan might have something to say about that.

and Shaun and also Hooker.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

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!

Could very well win us our first final in 15 years he's that sort of player

his little boy played pretty well tonight.

True but Stringer made things happen

 

[Mercurial89]

Will be top 3 in b&f. Been huge for us all year.

I'd love to revisit the centre clearance stat they showed at some stage. If he can have another off season like the last he's going to be huge for us again next year.

 

[Towno78]

Was very very good Jakey. Would be the number 1 mid in the comp if he got fit enough. But that won't happen, so very happy to take this version though.

You know they're brothers, right?

I'm afraid you're both wrong. Shaun is Corey's dad.

Anyone got a gif of Stringer's last goal

 

[naraku]

Special delivery from Stringer.

 

[Charliebrow 16]

So thrilled to see him playing as well as he is, and he'd be a sneaky chance to win our best and fairest now that Hepp is carrying his foot injury. As a sidenote, I adore his passion for the club. He hasn't put a foot wrong for us.

 

[Vander18]

Said it last week, will say it again....if he can dig deep and get the extra 5-10% out of himself they would come from diet, extra conditioning etc then he can rip the comp apart.

He is becoming a very good approximation of Dustin Martin at his very best.

Turned the game which is incredible considering

Worsfold revealed that Jake Stringer, who turned the game after being shifted into the centre in the second half, had been ill during the week, “so we weren’t planning to use him in there as much, but the circumstances were that we thought we needed to put him in there”.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Stringer was like * this and sealed the game for us

 

[windyhill]

Injury may stop him winning the b&f but * I'd love it if he won it. Top three, surely. Once again, thanks footscray

 

[Seb78]

Thanks!

Jake showed great leadership in that moment. Watch how he gets goal side of his opponent as the ball is coming down to the ruckman and give a beautiful little push in his side at exactly the right moment to send him off balance and give himself space to receive the backward tap from Clarke.

Clarke did well to immediately turn and stick his backside into the GC ruckman and get his arms out to shepherd him away from Stringer giving him no chance to lay a hand on him.

Stringer then takes off like a hare and does the right thing in a desperate moment to boot the s**t out of it as far as he can directly at the goals.

In fact, I think he had the presence of mind to not go the straight drop punt and opt for the tumbling torpedo punt knowing if it hits the ground it’s going bounce forward.

Jake Stringer. Creative genius and cool under pressure.

A glorious moment that will live in our hearts for many years to come.

 

[Darealrath]

I had it down as a goal before he'd even gathered it.

[Lance Uppercut]

What a beast

 

[Haychh]

Offseason objective: Build up a tank, play predominantly mid.

When he's in there, things happen.
