[Lore]

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

What number do we think he'll get?

5

25 + 30= 55

I am pretty optimistic about Stringer. What happened should have shown him how tenous his AFL time is and that he needs to make the most of it. Woosha reckons he has brought into the Essendon 'values' (although hard to tell over coffee I guess). He also has a significant challenge to get his teeth into viz. having an impact as a big bodied mid when his turn comes - this will add variety to his training.

I think Woosha would be very wary about the guy after what he went through with Cousins at WC. Hopefully he believes Jake's issues can be sorted so it doesn't effect the playing group (like it probably did at WB).

Any chance we reach out to our good mate The Ox to have a chat to Stringer about gambling?

LOL I knew when I saw you'd posted what it was going to be.

Welcome to EFC, Jake. I hope you make the best of this chance.

I honestly can't believe no one has offered up the obvious one yet. But this is a fantastic entry.

EDIT: It's either 69 (for obvious, too far reasons) or the all-important 11 (stiff shit Zakka)

 

[Old Campaigner]

yay, I can have my thread back

Hey now let's just hold our horses a tad here. FFS.

never in doubt

I heard BT has already requested every Essendon game for next year ; )

I’d say that our recruitment earned us an extra couple of prime time games this year

 

[HirdyLannister]

Dream scenario will be first game in 2018 Stringer starts in the middle and gets the first clearance and kicks it inside 50 to Daniher

 

[Lance Uppercut]

5

shame about Stewart because 17 would be so appropriate

 

[windyhill]

Get your head and body right Jake. We all know what he can do. It's gunna be fun.

 

[the PILL]

I never realised he was 6.4...

I'll admit it... Just like BJ I couldn't stand him but always been able to respect his talent...

Pretty excited at the nightmare our Forward Line has now become for other teams...

Welcome Jake, You Lovable prick!

 

[Laverde2Smack]

Our forward line has some serious X-factor rolling through it now with Raz, Tippa and Stringer.... oh and Green, how could I forget him!

You forgot Daniher.

If everything has been publicly revealed then it would appear that the Jake situation is very different to Cousin's issues as in Jake made the mistake of sleeping around and gambling which isn't the same as drug use which while being just as addictive does seem easier to overcome than drug use.

How long is his contract?

2021

Our supporters booed him in 2017, months after he played in a premiership. They won't let the fact we pushed him out get in the way, haha.

I'll remember Jake the player fondly, to have someone so explosive around the sticks when you play a chaotic style of footy with lots of forward fifty entries is a lot of fun. You'll enjoy him.

It'll hurt me to see him fulfill his potential in your jumper, but I hope he gets his life together for his family.

What caused that booing, sounds like a replacement for Stanton (tongue in cheek) since he copped booing from his own supporters.

2021

How much per year? $600k?

How much per year? $600k?

I would only be guessing, but that would be around the mark.
