King is spot on. He also has a balloon for a head.

it’s not just that he has a balloon for a head, it’s exacerbated by his tiny squinty eyes and massive forehead

I can't get the running and spinning his arm around in circles after kicking his first goal on the great come back game out of my head. Pretty embarrassing stuff for I think the first goal of the game

I don't know about any of you, but I never seem to be able to incorporate convicted killers into my friendship group

Hogan had similar fitness/preparation problems to Stringer and GWS turned him into a Coleman medalist, they probably think they can do the same with Stringer and I wouldn't put it past them.
I think the social circle aspect likely plays a role in the club's decision, Hind's delisting was swift.
But the biggest aspect for me is Stringer has a year on his contract, the club said we're not going to give you an extra year because we don't trust Stringer outside of contract year, and instead of vowing to work harder he goes to find the extension elsewhere.
It's probably going to hurt us next year, but that hurt will be we finish 13th instead of 10th or 11th. In the long run it's the right call.

It was in the Qualifying Final in 2000, a game they ended up losing by 125 points.
