AFL Player #25: Jake Stringer - The lo, rumour mill spins

[Lore]

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

Backed one out?

Dropped the kids off at the pool?

So how would that not resonate with the private schoolers?

 

[Old Campaigner]

Looks like no one’s interested in Jake.

Could be the best thing for him. Massive kick in the arse, if he wants to squeeze another 800k out of footy he has to do it here and make the effort.

Seems like the club/Rosa had a pretty good read on the situation, no point giving multiple years if no one else thinks he's worth that

I reckon we would’ve given him the years if dodo was still calling the shots.

I'd reserve judgment yet. If he does get picked up it could be by a failed finalist.

 

[Yoda_]

So, his option of another year triggered, or does it need to be accepted?

Conflicting stories around both professionally and by the public makes things awfully confusing to read the situation

Was listening to Eddie the other day and he pouring water on it.

He would very much still be close to Pies insiders.

Clubs maybe getting cold feet or maybe Pies into bigger fish like Houston.

He didn't play 100 games for the Dogs
He has for us so if his kids are any good we get first dibs
So he can stay or go either way

Potential line up:

Who would you select on the bench?

If Jakie goes, I’m going to mourn his 42 goals by getting a matching weird animal ink blot chest tattoo.

Reckon you could manage 42 goals and some stints in the middle where you charge forward from the back of the contest?

 

[Milanista28]

Give him 2 years, how are we going to replace 84 goals?

 

[Vindicater]

Give him four.

168 is too many goals to try and find.

I’m more likely to challenge Boonie’s 42 cans on that famous flight to London…

 

[fairbump_playon]

Yet he was a wing at North and anyone who bothered to have a look at his games at Williamstown would have see he was more a second receiver in the midfield than an actual bull at the contest. He had chances to prove that on the wing around stoppage but couldn’t .
It was a classic example of drafting a bloke hoping he could be sometimes else. Was more of a big bodied accumulator.

He fumbled a lot under heat in the AFL. Didn’t get many chances, but def didn’t take the ones he got.

First hands on the footy, burst from the stoppage and kicked a beautiful ball inside 50... too bad it was our defensive 50.

We need some of our nice players to get tats like this. Imagine Jordan Ridley rocks up to preseason with this on his chest. THEN I’d be confident we mean business in 2025

Would happily go and hold those Bombers players hands if the precious dears can't handle getting a tattoo

I'm overdue for another one

We haven’t had a single player with a proper sleeve in the last 20 years. Just some hipster squiggles on Heppell and a handful of proper bogan tats on Stringer, Carlyle and Reimers. That’s it. Sums us up as a club really.

I want to see Peter Wright with a massive fire breathing dragon all the way up his right arm.

And Andy McGrath with some kind of grim reaper themed demon thing on his calves

Laverde got some decent coverage on his leg - Adrian would have been horrified

They can become addictive, I know many including myself who say, just the one will do, and yet keep going back for more.
