The Next Big Thing - Jake Stringer

[go you pups]

Jake Stringer, what the Bulldogs expected Jarrad Grant to be once upon a time.

Both were pick fives too

I actually tweeted something similar when he was drafted, said he better be good and not be another J Grant lol

 

[go you pups]

Toumpas is to Tambling as Stringer is to Franklin. 8 years apart - same result.

Lol, nice analogy

Lad can play... A lot

Seems to quick agile for the bigger KPDs and too strong overhead for the smaller size

 

[WCE_phil]

Yep.

He is amaze balls.

Alan Jakovich / Ablett Snr.

This is who Stringer reminds me of. His brother goes down as the best CHB of the last 20 years yet Alan was the better player.

 

[Keys]

Fantastic player. Joy to watch

 

[Trebor57]

Thought he was fantastic. Something positive bound to happen every time he goes near the ball. Very difficult to man up on.

Not at the Doggies he wasn't

 

[Eski3]

Thoughts?

Fair play, I was wrong, he's better than I gave him credit for

 

[Fridge24]

I read this headline as Jake Spencer and left me thinking WTF. i should read a little closer next time haha

on Topic, absolute gun!! a player you can build a team around!

Carried Western Bulldogs, I wasn't even mad at any of his goals simply too good for most KPD.

I wonder if they will out him in the midfield, he is super strong through the hips.

Don't you mean Jesse Stringer???

 

[go you pups]

Don't you mean Jesse Stringer???

No........Marcus Picken and Brad Boyd

Just hope Bulldogs keep him, would hate a talent like that get snatched away by the 'richer' clubs. Offer him a 5 year 750k+ contract.

I wouldn't worry he's first in the queue for a big contract. Signed till 2018 and I suspect he/bontempelli are the other big contract players at the club. Apart from T.boyd of course.

He plays through the midfield sometimes. Attempts to charge through straight to goal. Prefer him close to goal where he only has to charge through one or two players rather than a whole midfield/defence

He is a great talent , great to watch , has X factor ! Just has to keep the head in check and not listen to the publicity and could be anything !

Jake "the Snake" Stringer has Cult Hero status and more coming his way.

Thats the plan. Another preseason and he hopefully pushes up for 5min bursts in the midfield. Especially when we are getting smashed. Surprised we didn't see him up there in the second half yesterday tbh.

 

[Biggie]

Just burned 4 Roos off with two bounces leading to a Dogs goal.

Joy to watch.

 

[ManOfClay]

If you ask jake he'd tell you he's already the big thing

 

[Righteo]

Faaark this guy is good.

 

[hawksalltheway]

 

[Igloo]

He's a beast.

 

[ManOfClay]

He's what North fans hope Jack ziebell will become. Except ziebell was drafted four years earlier

 

[Testekill]

Freak of a player, still have no idea if he's going to have an awesome career in the midfield or in the forward line.
