Player Watch Jake Stringer, AFL'S biggest flop?

[Shane Heard]

Remember when he was "the package"?

Yeah …today

 

[Clark G]

Kicked 5.4 today. Only 3 marks. Most came from snaps and field kicks. Sheer Stringer class.

He’s the Older recruit of the year.

Rejuvenated his career and reminded his haters what a natural talent he is.

Happy for him.

Shame he didn’t have that kind of game in last year’s elimination final.

Well I think he's awesome.

He’s my favourite Muslim

Stringer’s good is very good but the gap between his best and worse form is big. I don’t think that will change this far into his career. GWS have to work out how to best use him and can’t be too reliant on him especially in crunch games.

 

[Former Decathlete]

Hed be in Eseendon's top 5 players without question.

But his worst is still better than most of your list

That's the thing .

Dodoro moved him on because he's not the type of altar boy Dodoro has a fetish for.

Dodoro was not at the club when Stringer was traded.

By a few weeks......

I see.

Are you a Dodo apologist?

Are you a member of his "coterie" or "ring"?

 

[Upgrayedd]

nothing. He is very very ordinary

Are you one of the people he owed thousands to in gambling money?

if he goes on another year, He'll hit 250 games, Kick 450 odd goals, Have an AA jumper and a Premiership

Cant ask for more from anyone? Absolutely awful bloke when he was younger and clearly his football suffered and probably didn't hit his peak due to his Hamstring issues.

Seems like he's a little settled, To call him Ordinary, I mean off-field yeah sure? But There would be less then 50 people to kick that amount of goals, play that amount of games,

Nope just correcting your incorrect statement. Stringer is a handy player but anyone suggesting Essendon would be much better if he was still there is not thinking things through.

Youd be equally shit either way . He wouldn't make any difference either way.

But the comedy part is Essendon made out like they were too good for Jake and he wasn't good enough for their "professional culture".

That's the amusing part of the story.

Eseendon's grand delusion about their own culture and the recruits Doso brought in who were supposedly "good characters" but are nothing more than Dodos erotic fetish for altar boys.

It's really quite disgraceful he was able to get away with it for so long right under everyone's noses.

Go watch how he played in the Grand Final. Leon Davis type bad.

He has kicked 450 goals and burnt about 400 of his players having selfish shots at goals. He had the ability, but his brain is football dumb and totally wasted it. These players are not valuable, they are a liabilty.

Clueless - he might not be the most consistent footballer, but on his day he is an absolute match winner, and great entertainment.

 

[My Tilly]

Surely has to be Rayner?

The player GWS delisted at the end of last year ? Sure

 

[voorhees]

Was great to see him being that guy...
when on its pure

 

[Orange Agent]

Hed be in Eseendon's top 5 players without question.

Nah he wouldn't.

He's found a fwd line that has a role for him and it's allowed Greene to have more freedom as well. He's a pure footballer like Hogan, if the team as a whole can take up the defensive slack it can work for them. It probably explains why we can be so hot and cold though.

Every team is doing this now. It was just to get around list rules.

lol - literally 49 people have done it. You were bang on

If being de-listed is a metric for not being good at football these days, you're suggesting Jack Gunston is no good?

Different circumstances, but it shows you know nothing about how teams are using the system.

They could have delisted a bunch of other players risking other clubs pick them up. But they listed this flop.

 

[Former Decathlete]

Jake has 410 career AFL goals.

That's a mighty effort. Up there with Bill Brownless and Malcolm Blight.

Mods close this ridiculous thread.

 

[TRP1996]

His career has been a.disaster. Lucky to be a premiership player given he was worst on ground by far. Selfish fat and lazy. No one wants him, next week he will burn 3 platers and kick 1 goal 5 again.

Worse than Gary Rohan?

 

[HeathySure]

Worse than Gary Rohan?

Yes. He was horrible
