Current contract quoted as 600 , doubt anyone pay that though ,

Jake Stringer is a seriously good player, criminally under-rated based on his best form last year and this year.

Clubs try to replicate the Dusty role. Cripps, Bontempelli, Fyfe, Dangerfield, are some very highly rated players who have not really been able to pull it off by doing big damage forward when it matters. Apart from Martin, you probably have about three players capable of doing that sort of role to a truly damaging level, Petracca, K-Mart Dusty, and Jake Stringer. Toby Greene can but is probably not as good in the midfield.

He could have got more out of himself at times, but $600k pa for a player like him is a bargain imo. He could certainly help a team win finals. The trouble is we don’t need him because we have Dusty and Bolton. I am pretty certain the Bombers wouldn’t be letting him go for $600k type offers, whenever fitness has allowed he has been brilliant for them over the last 2 seasons since they started using him in the middle then rolling forward. You can tell the Bombers understand his value by the way they use him.

In 5 full games this year of an injury interruption he has 12 goals, 20 tackles and 15 clearances.

In 4 shorted games last year before being pretty seriously injured he got 11 goals, 15 tackles and 4 clearances.

Converting those 2020 figures to full match time, in the only 9 games where Stringer was anywhere near right since the start of 2020, he gets a tick under 3 goals per game, over 4 tackles per game, and over 2 clearances. Clubs would pay for players who can have that type of impact on the big stage.

To think he wanted to come to us and we closed the door could be useful right now.

It’s being rumoured Essendon aren’t willing to offer anywhere near his current contract and are only offering short term 1-2 years . He allegedly wants a longer term deal .

At his first 2 seasons yes , has never played anywhere near it since , nowhere near. Not the worst player out there but way off 600 value as he struggles to kick 30g a year

I have shown in my post above what Stringer hasw done in the last two years when fully fit. He probably needs to be at a contending club where his match winning ability comes into much greater effect. The Bombers may be prepared to release him for the right deal due to seeing someone like Archie Perkins developing into that role by the time they are next looking to contend. Not sure who the right club might be, perhaps Sydney, a club like Freo could use a player like that and may see themselves close to contending. Gold Coast is another club that may see themselves about to step into finals and could benefit from an explosive mid-forward.

Whatever happens he won’t be landing on our doorstep, but Stringer does appeal to me as precisely the type of player who could tear a finals series apart….the Cats could use someone like that in preference to finals fairy Rohan.

Wants a deal that ends when his new missus graduates HS?

Would love Adam Cerra from Freo, but just can't see us have any cap room for him especially if we don't have many senior players moving on at years end he is only 21 years old too.

They reckon Carlton has already offered him a mega deal that would price us out. Would be a nice fit though.
 
Go after Willie Rioli, Eagles seem like they’re happy to part ways with him

We've already got Stack we're trying to keep in line, don't reckon we need the added distraction of having to slap the Gatorade saxophone out of Willies mitts every 10 minutes.
 
It maybe a funny joke to me but? That’s very cheeky putting a picture of a egg instead of his name;

Derek Eggmolesse Smith

Rediculous how ppl treats the young lad on here and seems singling out from the rest of the group of named players,


On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app
Its just an egg. Is there anything that isnt potentially offensive these days?
 
Think we are Ok with our cap
Caddy , Riewoldt , Cotchin , Astbury , Edwards , Houli will all most likely be taking less or retire when OOC
How much would be put aside for these guys from 2022 onwards?

I would say very little because the club, like everyone, knows they won’t be around much longer. Their retirements would have been factored in years ago. There would be no new money from these guys retiring.

The money they have been earning would already be targeted for other players. Money gets freed up if Rance walks out suddenly but not if guys who are getting to the end of their career, retire.

No DH policy applies still. Computer says No.

Jake Stringer may or may not have been a DH in the past, probably did some things wrong. But you only have to watch the way he plays now to see he has grown up. He is not the right player for us, but say Dusty’s career came to a sudden end, he would be as good a replacement as you could get.
