The Next Big Thing - Jake Stringer

[gangsta deluxe]

Lerl.

Most people dont realise they are wearing rose coloured glasses. You are no exception.

 

[Wild Bill]

That isn't biased. Ollie Wines is levels above any other young kid his age.
Wines is already elite, he is an absolute beast.

Levels above Cameron? He is my 1st pick of the young guns. Wines is fantastic but hit the ground running with size.

 

[Wild Bill]

I knew this would create a lot of negative views towards this post, however, I am happy to bump it up during the season and be proven wrong. I have watched him slowly get his body back since his terrible injury and know he hasn't had a solid preseason until now. His running style looks more free flowing at training (quicker & fitter). Going by most of the posters in here, He'll surprise a lot of you.

Most are saying he is very good. Will you be ok if they bump if he does not hit the high level you have set?

In terms of consistent output, Wines has to be in front of just about bloody everyone. But when you take size and needs into account, you make a good point...

 

[Super Hans]

Prefer Membury.

Oh my God.

 

[swiftdog]

Wrong. Jarrad Waite is the next big thing.

I'll be ****ing annoyed that someone jinxed him....

 

[TheHoneyBadger]

Oh my God.

Damn it Pogba. Don't get drawn into Adam H's circus tent of funhouse mirrors and flawed logic.

 

[Adam H]

Oh my God.

Just applying MOC logic.

 

[Turboman1994]

He reminds me of a more midfield version of pavlich if I'm honest

I doubt supporters from other club's know how far off physically Stringer was when he arrived at the club, he was fat his skinfolds were in the 80s, his fitness was horrible and his running gait was terrible still after his broken leg. He's still a long way off his physical peak but his speed is back, as he was the quickest over 20m during the pre season testing. Bulldogs supporters don't need to make any big predictions for what he'll do on the field everyone will see that in time. I would happily get rid of Libba and Macrae if meant keeping Stringer given his huge upside.

Where's Blake Acres?

M8.

Yes please bump this thread when Stringer rivals Ablett Snr

 

[SterlingArcher]

I think the fact that OP is going into the season with the intent of watching more North games to see the young gun Liam Anthony shows the depth (or lack of) of his footy knowledge. Yes Stringer is an exciting young player but precisely 0 people have argued that he will be very good, so talks of bumping this thread to prove us wrong is extremely stupid.

[SonOfScray]

I think Jake Stringer is incredibly exciting, he does things the majority of young players cant do, feels like one of those players who will be damaging with every touch one day
Kids going to be a superstar, bulldogs best young talent IMO

That's my feeling. He is as exciting a player we've had on our list in a very long time, our stars in recent history haven't had the capacity to win a game off their own boot. Jake will win plenty. The kid has Big League Swagger.

 

[Abomination]

Other clubs should really learn a thing or two about how stupid Melbourne were by putting pressure on their young kids. It's basically destroyed an entire generation of draftees.

Just let them develop in peace and stop putting them on a pedestal.

We have at least let them prove themselves at AFL level before making judgement. Not to mention Stringer out of any of our young stars doesn't get the media hype that libba, bonts, boyd and macrae yet not to mention hes not the type to overthink that type of stuff. I don't think Jakes the type of character who would be reading much into what media plaudits say about him.

 

[Marc_Remillard]

How much does he weigh?

He sounds like a poor pick

 

[Zgope1]

Kids a gun. Plays kpf very effectively and undersized (yes kpf because he draws kpds and beats them). Is a second forward. His ground work is his strength though although he has a hanger in his arsenal. Let's just watch the kid blossom

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

I'd put Ollie Wines up as the 'next big thing' and he's 6 months younger than Stringer.


#biased

Huge fan.

 

[Barnzy]

Besides the last goal probably is one of the least impressive highlights packages I've ever seen to back up your thread.

Seriously?

Do you only watch highlights vids of Gary Ablett or something? I'd be interested to see another highlights package from a 2 year player that is more impressive if you have one.

 

[Dazb86]

Not sure this belongs on the main board but either way...

Probably has the most talent on our list. I really hope he can transition into the midfield at times this season. Is brilliant through there. Breaks tackles, has a good burst of speed and is precise with his kicking.

Comparisons to Gary Ablett Snr are a bit far fetched.
