Traded Jake Stringer [traded to Essendon]

[The 747]

Wish we had the currency to have a crack. We were going to draft him if he was available.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

GWS.

Take it to the bank

Won't leave his kids in Melbourne.

 

[Snake_Baker]

And no Stringer is no Franklin - but there are similarities nonetheless.

Marking, pace and kicking aren't three of them.

 

[Capt Hindsight]

Here's the market:

1. Essendon - $1.75
2. Collingwood - $3.25
3. St kilda - $5.00
4. Hawthorn - $9.00

Nah. Essendon be more interested in Tom Liberatore.
Essendon need an inside mid more than a forward/mid.

 

[Mofra]

Marking, pace and kicking aren't three of them.

He's quicker than Franklin on the burst - only Jong is quicker than Stringer at the Bulldogs for 20m, 30m sprints (he's ahead of JJ and Dahlhaus).

Stringer has nowhere near Franklin's consistency - not in the same ballpark.

There's the magic word that sums up Stringer, "burst".

What do you of the idea of him bulking up and playing full forward? I think this is his most natural position.

 

[reload141]

So do majority of GWS players.

Means absolutely nothing. but good try.

Kids.

Again, you have no idea.

 

[Milanista28]

Probably destined for top 5 on Mofra's upcoming list, So our offer is Luenberger for Jake?

 

[SCRAY72]

Who knows with Jake. I wouldnt rule out Collingwood either. But Murphys law says he will pick the team with the worst draft picks to offer.
And I think we will need the luck tonight.

Always need luck. Talent not enough. Need talent. Tick. Good coach. Tick. Hunger. Tick. Luck .?. Healthy squad . Apart from Sloane I assume .Tick.

Lol did you call Stringer slow. At least try and troll with some semblance of realism. At present you just look like a complete nuffy.

Already have two injury prone ruckmen on our list. Don't need another.

 

[HeHateMe]

Not many clubs will be able to beat a top 4 pick from hawthorne.

2015 his value would of been a top 5 pick and a second... But after the last two years and his mental stability due to his relationship bust up a pick between 10-20 I see fair value.. I would be happy for essendon to risk their first round this year for him.

fair enough maybe they thrown in a future 2nd as well.

Made the North players look like glaciers.

With the murmurs around, that ain't out of the question either.

What would you give up for him?

He hit a ball off half back at top pace and wrong foots a midfield going the other way.

If not for the block Garner would have had him in two more steps.

Brilliant example.

 

[SCRAY72]

Base on inside knowledge? If not I'd have North as raging favourite. Hrovat and Higgns already there too.

How is Hawthorn better odds than North ?

 

[reload141]

2nd rounder, can't imagine our first would be right for Libba considering he's dropped off quite a bit and loves his party drugs.

Woosha would be the perfect coach for him in that case, haha!

Sad thing is BF Bomber posters are likely to offer more than Dodoro....

 

[Snake_Baker]

They have the greater need for forwards.

lolled, he ran away from Dal Santo and Swallow .... you and I could do that in a 3 legged race. Boomer had already galloped in the other direction and was probably 36 at the time, Garner had his run blocked. Not denying its a good burst of speed though

 

[SCRAY72]

If he could improve his marking then we wouldn't be having this conversation.

He's 6'4"/92 kgs and basically useless overhead.

KPP size, but not a KPP player. This also seriously limits him as a midfielder.

No problem according to Sportsbet odds North not in the running anyway. You have bigger fish to fry with Kelly.

Correct, Stringer is a luxury we can't afford.

There's a huge flaw in Jake's game which Dermie (of all people) exposed multiple times in commentary this year - he won't crash packs.

He'll fly for the high ball, attempt unrealistic speccies (and almost never take them) but a FF in the era of double-teaming and zoning has to be prepared to compete in the air just to bring the ball to ground, and Stringer simply won't do it.

He actually played a dominant game against St Kilda this year as a lone forward, but it's the exception rather than the rule for Jake.
It was summed up earlier in this thread - he icing - bloody good icing - but he's not the cake you build your forward line around.

 

[L_W_P]

Pick 8 + Hickey for Stringer and a pick/player. Not sure who might be coming off the Dogs list.

 

[reload141]

If we could do nab both that would be amazing.

Stringer and Libba for our 1st and 2nd this year plus a fringe player?
