Stringer; is he performing to the expectations of the media and public ?

[SCRAY72]

Seems to be laying more tackles.
Goals will come. I have no doubt.

there is a reason no one else wanted jim.

Obviously its because he is no good at football

JAKE STRINGER
The boom recruit struggled to have an impact on the night playing both up forward and in the midfield. The former Western Bulldog star finished his night with just nine disposals. Essendon fans will be expecting plenty more from the man known as the package.

He's too big and doesn't have the tank to play midfield/small forward, and he's not a good enough mark to play as a key forward.

Played better than joe daniher

The entire essendon team are duds, except Daniher and Hurley.

No problem. Dogs this week. Daniher loves playing against the Dogs.

Heh to be honest I can't remember his form against you guys. But he's looking very dodgy atm. No confidence.

We are the perfect team to play forwards back into form. Expect a combination of 10 goals between Daniher and Stringer next week.

Edit: 6 goals 8 points

Yeah Stringer the least of Essedons concerns last night, their top 5-6 were all down in normal output

 

[Great8]

He was horrid last night but is the least of our problems

2017, 11 marks, 6 - 4
2016, 6 marks, 2 - 3 from a score of 7 - 11

Stringer has a lot of problems but the primary one is that he just does not understand team structure or system. Early in his career when opposition defenders didn't sit in front of him he was able to lead, turn and have space down the corridor. Teams adjusted quickly to that and nobody falls for his double leads anymore because it's the only thing he knows. Nowadays as a forward they sit in front of him so he either gets into a tussle or runs hard against the flank where opponents are happy to give him space.

In the midfield there are simply too many moving parts and too many responsibilities. He gets extremely lost both offensively and defensively.

The fitness and application are secondary problems; if Stringer's ever going to get back to good footy, a coach needs to devise a plan to simplify the game for him. Or teach him to mark the football and absorb contact.

True. Their squib captain is a more pressing concern. His softness infects the entire playing group. They were bullied by kids last night.

Had a s**t night like 3/4 of the team. Not particularly worried about him, reckon he can play himself into some form. He’s well down the midfield rotations and is fourth banana up forward, happy for him to be given time. I thought he was pretty good last week.

 

[Golden_6]

What is the fascination between a lot of players in playing in the midfield? What’s wrong with just focusing to play as a forward and trying to become an elite one? He’d be better served trying to do that.

At Essendon we’ve long been experts with moving players out of their natural position with poor results. This proud tradition is continuing with Stringer.

I agree on this. Plonk him inside 50 and let him have a go. Feel kind of sorry for him as the club has put the pressure on him to be our midfield saviour

Sometimes coaches just outsmart themselves or think too hard about things. Stringer is a forward, not a mid and never will be
