Ram-a-damn he’s good

 

[naraku]

We've got to sign him to a 1+1 contract with some difficult but achievable targets.

Another delivery tonight.

 

[TheUnicorn]

Having a great year so far.

The tackle on libba

 

[SydneyBomber]

The tackle on libba

Yep, came here to say the same thing. Magic.

Libba is hard as they come (and one of my favourite non-EFC players, shit tattoos aside), but that was beautiful. More please jakey

It took converting to Islam to get Packo to lay off the zinger boxes for 30 days

 

[Old Campaigner]

That was about as hard as you can hit a bloke in the modern game and not get sanctioned

 

[ghostdog]

It took converting to Islam to get Packo to lay off the zinger boxes for 30 days

Has he actually?

 

[Call Me Cake]

Has he actually?

He said he's been exploring it and taking the benefits from it but not technically converted.

Seeing as it has basically changed his outlook on life mentally and improved his fitness in the wake of it, it might be something he ends up moving closer to. Who knows. It shouldn't really matter though.

I’m not a religious person, but if you spend time around the Islamic community - at markets and around mosques in Dandenong for example, it’s pretty hard not to feel a strong sense of welcoming warmth. I’m glad Stringer has been able to find direction in his 20s. Mashallah Jakey

 

[srobbo]

He’s been our best player with Merrett ytd. The defensive intent is what stands out & the scoreboard pressure is following. Keep it Jakey boy.

That's the same for most religions and probably the most appealing factor of them is the sense of community. It's hard to explain and to some outsiders they might not get it. But once you experience it, it's quite surprising and really great.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Thank Allah he is getting his off field life sorted, looks to be paying dividends early on this year...

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Enormous today. 11 score involvements. At nearly every centre bounce.

 

[katana]

could've ripped the game apart today with a little more focus. not sure he's ultimately a good thing for the team, but man it's fun to watch him.

 

[joey_jo_jo]

Enormous today. 11 score involvements. At nearly every centre bounce.

How good is it to have the luxury of holding him back for 6 weeks then letting him loose in the centre to go head to head with degoey. All of a sudden our midfield has massive depth and is our biggest strength.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Could have been on the end of a few game defining goals. Should've kicked the 50m free, which was the easiest shot of the day. But gotta give him credit for shifting to the middle later in the game to put some body on the oppo and give us ascendency going i50.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Enormous today. 11 score involvements. At nearly every centre bounce.

Allahu akbar!

 

[joey_jo_jo]

both he and Degoey attended 21 Centre bounces, stringer won 6 centre clearances to Degoey's 1.

 

[bacon buster]

If he can do what he did yesterday, consistently… oh boy!

Would have liked to kick that goal from the Langford spot too, after the 50m

I dont think his body allows him to do that every week.
The good thing now is we now have depth in midfield and guys like duz, caldwell, perkins, setters can also do the grunt work in middle so we can play him mainly orward and swing these surprises every now and then.

You mean the 45m penalty.

 

[katana]

hooley dooley he had a stinker. not really sure what he's worth.

suspect we can do better.

 

[theboxmike]

Never seen Jake so nervous in front of easy goals, yeah I get it happens every once in a while. But two weeks in a row? Not a good look Stringer.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

He wasn't great but he's had a good year so meh, onto the next one.
