The Next Big Thing - Jake Stringer

[Engimal]

You Still think it's a radical call?? You think he won't kick at least 50 goals this year?

Yes.

 

[eaglespremiers]

But the other thread told me it was Patrick Cripps who was the next big thing.

Please don't criticise someone for posting a picture of the "radical" dog. I would like to see that dog in every thread.

I would find that development:

As for Hogan and Ben Brown comparisons - I don't care who started them, who furthered them, and who brought them back. The comparisons are all stupid. Stringer and Hogan are both guns. And I would have happily murdered someone to draft Ben Brown with our 3rd round draft pick in 2013.

Stop the fighting, folks. Love all 3 of them!

Yep good win by your boys. The last time Melbourne finished higher than the Dogs on the ladder was in 2006....

What the hell have you done with all your draft picks?!

And they keep asking for more!
They're like an 18 year old on a bender. No more until you learn to be responsible.

Its been a long time between drinks, good on 'em

Bonts, Wallis, Dollhouse, Stringer, Wood, Libba

All potential A graders, who wouldn't get excited about the future

Melbourne have.....................................oh that's right Freo's next gun FF

Yah no potential talent at the dees

Holy shit the mainboard is like a pack of 14 year old girls fighting over there crush no wonder I don't come here

Jake Stringer is a gun, and is I've said on this thread before a far far better talent than Macrae
Stringers got that X factor that you can't develop at AFL level, genuine star of the future

 

[Doggy Dan]

What a bizarre comparison. Not only has Stringer got about 30 games experience on Hogan, but this season Hogan is averaging more SC and DT points than Stringer anyway. So while it's debatable that Stringer is the better player (I'd consider him more versatile), it's still a stupid comparison considering the experience gap. If you want a fair comparison between the two, let's compare Stringer's first 10 games with Hogan's and we're getting somewhere.

Or maybe we could just compare Boyd and Hogan? A far better comparison considering their age and no. of games played.

Maybe we should all just stick to comparing Watts and Nic Nat for the time being to settle the dispute.

Geeze why don't you compare one of your top mids to one your top forwards, Macrae is a different beast to Jake, he is a mid Melbourne would loveee to have.

Hogan shits on stringer FACT

 

[hutchy31]

Melbourne 15.13.103 to Bulldogs 9.10.64.

Did you really try to prove that Melbourne are better than the dogs just because they beat them? Wow.

Yup. In other news:

Richmond are better than Fremantle
Essendon, GWS and Port are all better than the Hawks
Bulldogs are better than Sydney and West Coast

F*ck I just don't understand this comp - why does the ladder not reflect how good teams are?

 

[King Bont]

Hogan shits on stringer FACT

That's a big call. Different players. I wouldn't trade stringer for the top 3 kids on your overrated list.

 

[Topkent]

Because your board had a stringer to Macrae comparison thread
I'm not making this about melbourne

Didn't say you were, was stating it as what you could relate too, never seen a comparison with Jake and Jack.

Dat Dawg!!!

 

[Zgope1]

guys lets not get petty. List/player comparisons can go into other threads easily.

This is about the big boy who last night strutted around like he was the best player on the ground. He looks at opponents with contempt and acts like they don't deserve to play on him.

Week after week he kicks ridiculous goals that hugely influence momentum.

Boyd's the biggest guy in our forward line and helps a lot, but Stringer's the reason its going to be a very good forward line

 

[BallaratBulldog]

JAKEY STRINGER THE PACKAGE!!!!!!!!!!

 

[boydsno1]

Hogan shits on Stringer lol. Stringer has already kicked 2 bags of 6 goals and now a bag of 5 and has multiple bags of 4. Both have been in the system 3 years and Stringer spend his last season before being drafted with a seriously broken leg. Guy is ahead of Hogan.
Would love to see Hogan go in the middle also. Just doesn't have the versatility Stringer has.

You come off sounding insecure, I don't care who brought up hogan but you sound petty

Be happy you have a gun player and don't compare him to a 10 game key forward even if other idiots have

 

[Morris Major]

Is this serious?

String, Hogan and BB are completely different players. So much so that you can easily fit all 3 in the same side and they'd function perfectly together.

Talk about twisting/deliberately lying things to suit yourself.

Stringer - 38 games in 2.5 seasons on an AFL senior list

Hogan - 10 games in 1.5 seasons on an AFL senior list

But nah they've both had equal opportunity with 3 years in the system

 

[Norm De Guerre]

Jake Stringer thread needs more discussion about player that are not Jake Stringer to be a legit main board worthy thread.

 

[Ian Dunross]

Jake Stronger >/ = Ollie Wines?

[Bulldog in Kiev]

Melb be happy to ave Hogan and us Dogs are just fine with Jake.
Both are good players, Jake has the swagger and x-factor that not many have. Reminds me a little of Ablet Snr.

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

Imagine Hogan and Stringer in a forward line beasting after the ball. wow.
