Chad Wingard v Jake Stringer ?

[DaVillaBlues]

Don't think there has been a poll between these two exciting young guns on BF.

I honestly can't decide who'll end up being the better player in the long run (right now with a few good finals performances, Wingard has the runs on the board, but I feel Stringer will be the more complete/all round player.

Honestly you'd be rapt with either player. Curious as to whom you'd have at your club based on what we've seen so far in their careers?

Wingard is ahead at the moment which given his extra experience is to be expected. More runs on the board and has had an amazing second half to the season.

Stringer is definitely much more of the type of player the Dogs need with his power and size. Not sure I'd trade him for anyone

 

[blitzer]

Really nice poll. This one was seriously hard to split. I ended up voting for Wingard just because of a gut feeling that he's still got another level to go to.

Both are definitely match winning types up forward that can kick plenty of goals. Wingard seems a bit more consistent at the moment but i think perhaps Stringer's best games are better. Not much in this one right now.

A lot will depend on if one or both move into the midfield and whether they can be elite in the midfield as well. There's nothing wrong with being an elite mid sized forward but generally they all get tried in the midfield at some point.

i went with Wingard. I reckon he's the smartest footballer in the game just about. Just a winner. Love the other bloke though

 

[TheHoneyBadger]

I couldn't split them.

Both have the lot. Speed, skill, scoring nous, strength, all-round footy smarts.

Went with King String purely because he's a Dog.

Love the Chad though, one of those players that you just have to appreciate even when they're tearing your own side apart.

 

[MightyDons4]

The Chad easy

 

[askdotcom]

both play like the same player but in a completely different way. Think stringer will be better forward and wingard better in the midfield/forward

 

[Always Ballin]

I picked the Stringdog.

Stringer was one of the big reasons WB's lost tonight. One of the most selfish efforts you'll see.

Stringer was injured 5 minutes in D was nowhere near 100%. Get off it. You must be confusing him with Crameri.

No it was Stringer. Cost you many a oppurtunity to score goals.

 

[GreyWind]

Gee what a surprise to see you bump this thread. Since round 14 Stringer has kicked 31 goals in 11 games (including tonight) and 56 for the season.

Lot more in the game than kicking goals. How about setting your team mates up rather than being selfish.

 

[GreyWind]

9 goal assists in that time.

Plus this for the season http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-ne...n-the-board-in-big-games-20150908-gjhj8l.html

So less than one a game and tonight was a factor in your loss

Stringer, Bont, Boyd, all doggies players and it tears you apart inside.

Why would we want Mathew Boyd?

Why would we want Mathew Boyd?

Yes, that's it. Pretend he doesn't exist. I'll sign off knowing that behind that trollface is a sad, salty, jealous little man who just can't help laying the boots in every single time without fail. You bring a very small amount of joy to my bigfooty experience.

 

[GreyWind]

So in the last 11 games he went at 2.8 goals a game and 0.8 goal assists.
For the season 56 goals (including tonight) 2.5 goals a game and 19 GAs for the season (0.9 a season).

He may as well not of existed in the VFL today.

 

[GreyWind]

In that same time Wingard went
32 goals in 11 games @ 2.9 and 9 GAs @ 0.8
53 goals @ 2.4 goals and 22 GAs @ 1 per game.

Note: Port fans I'm not calling Wingard in any way inferior as far as I'm concerned you don't make a mistake by picking one over the other.

 

[GreyWind]

Adam H so is Wingard a selfish player?

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

Stringer, easy.

Face it Stringers selfishness cost you a final.

Righto champ. Stick with making baseless claims so you can get your rocks off over bashing the Dogs.
