AFL Player #25: Jake Stringer - Dead-eye

[Lore]

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

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Would love to see him out there ASAP because god, we need him. But we should take the conservative approach.

Jake Stringer
“Jake got to play 60 minutes and came off about halfway through the third quarter with a couple of rests in each quarter. He played a bit of mid and a bit of forward and did everything that was required of him in a fitness sense. He worked really hard on the ground, kicked a couple of goals and laid a couple of big tackles. He did half an hour of running after the game as well, so he’s just on a progression to get fit for AFL football.”

[Desync]

Don't rush him back i feel like we have a bad habit of crowbarring people back into our side before their ready.

 

[Lore]

Not a whole lot different from the VFL player review... except they described it as 'three quarters' rather than '60 minutes'.

Achilles not having issues atm...

played some minutes in the VFL against Box Hill on the weekend (and) he’s pulled up really well,” Murphy said.

“The achilles injury that he’s been having is not an issue at the moment, so we’ll continue to build his loads.

“He did a running session off the back of the game time he played, which was three quarters, and he’ll just keep building on that and preparing to perform when he comes into the AFL side.

Murphy: Hurley improving ‘every single day’

Michael Hurley is making progress in his recovery from a hip infection.

On the Shiel injury..

Our only mid who can consistently win clearances, will leave a massive hole in the midfield.

Enter Jake Stringer who has just spent the preseason getting leaner in between injuries.

"Stringer got all the game time he needed, playing midfield and forward. He was strong at ground level and in the contest, breaking tackles and driving through his legs. He looked stronger and fitter, so after two games back, it was another good result for him."

eager to see how the new rules impact his game.

 

[Lore]

Very glad to see him back in the side, feel like we really need him with everything else going on

 

[MattyB3150]

Last time we looked any good was when stringer was fully fit (when we beat the pies). Was BOG that night. Was dangerous fwd and in the middle. Gotta be one of our most important players on our list now? Just wish his body would hold up!

 

[Highly Evolved]

Put a contract in front of him. Arguably our most important player. We're such a different team when he's on.

 

[Highly Evolved]

Give him the contract at half time. What a half.

 

[eth-dog]

Let him name his terms

Give him the contract at half time. What a half.

I forgot how much better we look when this man is firing.

So 7kgs too heavy last year...

How does that happen?

Easily, I had the same problem.

You aren’t an elite athlete. Or are you Jake?

 

[Red Black and Blue]

So 7kgs too heavy last year...

How does that happen?

Was in decent shape to start the season. Put it only during rehabbing in Melbourne for the ankle.

It does not really matter how. Unfortunately it points to lack of commitment. No one is questioning his talent but I am happy to question his commitment. He either shapes up or he ships out.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

He’s had plenty of battles both mentally and physically since he came to the club. He wasn’t in a good spot when he came over. This is his first full pre season and he’s happy and content. It shows.

* me he’s a good footballer.

He has shaped up...

The lynchpin.

Good to see him back.

A ####ing gun.

fu** me he’s a good footballer.

No offence Bunk but that just sounds like more excuses. He can play, there is no doubt. The question mark is over whether he can fully commit. I’d love to see it, I really would.

I think your being too harsh.
He is the most talented player on our list and performs when he is on the park.

You don't ship those players out, you work at improving their work ethic to enable them to perform
