Contract Status: Out of contract 2024
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 19, Harlequin

 

[yodellinhank]

Nice beat up on a lowly side, then back to chasing cheapies out the back like they're two year contract extensions

 

[ant555]

I think he should find a new home. He has the ability but it is no good in our forward mix. Not that I think it will happen.

I’m torn.

He, Wright and Langford seem to have little synergy…..but is is because they just don’t work or we haven’t been able to unlock the potential? We have little history of developing coherent, effective forward units that play for each other….so can’t rule out the latter.

I’m also open to the idea they just don’t complement each other and someone needs to move on. If that’s Stringer then so be it. Hopefully we aren’t to in thrall to his status to make the move if we think that’s the right one.

take the ball and don't try a completely unrealistic fend challenge (impossible)

 

[quotemokc]

We would be fools to offer him a multi year contract

 

[Jobe Watson]

Embarrassing game from him tonight. Played like it was the EJ Whitten Legends pisstake game.

 

[bommer16]

contract talks delayed by both parties apparently.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Bordering on cooked territory so he's trying to go for hail mary shots and 4v1 fends off to try and create something.

I was a fan, but I think he needs to be moved on.

That's how he plays all of the games.

 

[Phone]

honestly I didn't have much of a problem with most of the hail mary stuff. the biggest problem I had was that one when he went for a drop punt trying to slide it over May who was the last man. may as go for the torp there.

the actual problem is that for most of the 2nd and 3rd quarter, whenever we actually picked the damn ball up in the forward half the player with the ball basically couldn't do anything but try for hail marys (which can broadly be summed up as: hoping May somehow stuffed something up)

even that last one, we needed 3 goals in 3 minutes and we had been pushed to the boundary, we kinda need to get a miracle goal there.

 

[Goat Hird]

Not good enough, time to go.

- Lazy

 

[Blind Turn]

To be fair, he was left in limbo territory for most of the night. He’d get the ball under pressure with nothing to target ahead of him. His decision making was poor in those situations but he was not helped by our movement and forward set-up.

 

[Mercurial89]

Remove "5 snags against The West Coast - 23/6" from the thread title and leave the truth remaining


Lazy.

Can add selfish and undeserving of another contract.

At least he put himself in a position to win the footy all night.

 

[Blind Turn]

At least he put himself in a position to win the footy all night.

Stringer was the least of our worries and his contest work and defensive pressure have been top-notch this year. He has a sub-par game when everyone else is putrid and he becomes the easy target because he tries to make things happen

I think that's probably why I'm being softer on him than others. Yes some of the stuff was poorly executed, but **** me, past the 10 min mark of Q1, Caddy, Langford, Guelfi & Wright were anonymous. Given what we got from the others, I'll take hail marys when he clearly didn't burn any team mates anyway

*Langford finished strongly

Also, he was very poor tonight.

 

[Groundhog Day]

Should instruct his manager to explore all options. He owes us nothing and we owe him nothing. Happy for him to stay and happy for him to head elsewhere.

 

[Blind Turn]

Also, he was very poor tonight.

Correct. But there were probably 15 who were worse.

 

[ghostdog]

Every opportunity doesn't need to be a hero moment, Jake. And a De Goey fend off doesn't now make you invincible.

He is the forward set up

 

[windyhill]

I still love him, but ****ing hell. Will probably turn it on next week v crows.
