Serious question, guys:

If you could have the time over again, would you still want the club to trade Jake in?

Stringer yes.

Shiel, no.

Yeah, I would.

The negatives exist and are real, but watching the footy's meant to be about having fun.

He's a 10/10 on the entertainment scale. The 10-odd games he's won for us off his own boot have been worth it for mine.

Now's the right time to let him go, and I fully understand the frustrations people have/had with him, but I've enjoyed watching him play.

With the problems he was - allegedly - causing, yes.

Seemed tough at the time as he was a fan favourite, but when stories started leaking out the tide turned quickly.

He's still probably seen as something of a flawed genius by the Dogs.

Will be interesting to see if he shows up at the 2016 flag reunion!

Well I remember Dogs fans telling us how they'd just shoot back up the ladder without Jake's "problems" holding them back.

Turns out that wasn't exactly true.

The last time Stringer kicked over 40 goals was 2021 when he was in the AA squad.

Now the question is, if the Dogs had that Stringer in the 2021 GF, would they have scored more? Wouldn't be crazy to say, yes. Ooo, what might've been.

If you're asking if we won the trade, then yes. Yes we did.

 

[joey_jo_jo]

Dont see how Jakes alleged off field stuff at the dogs was worse than Hunter/Libba and now Smith. Just seems he wasnt part of the Xavier/Kevins clique so was the easy one to punt to make a 'statement".

Definitely. Didn't really pay much for him and he's a match winner. Pity we didn't build a list that would make use of his abilities in finals.

 

[Bjchan13]

The dream scenario is hes fit and could rotate with DeGoey mid-forward. Would be a dangerous combo. The likely scenario is not this

His days in the middle are done. You'd still throw him in as a hail mary in the 2nd half of an important game to mix things up if needed. But you wouldn't want to recruit him now with regular midfield time in mind. His body doesn't hold up to the demand, it never actually has.

Didnt he snap one off in someones locker or similar?

 

[GetDimmaBack]

Didnt he snap one off in someones locker or similar?

Yeah, apparently

 

[Nifft]

Yeah, apparently

Were the hinges squeaky?

 

[Bjchan13]

Yeah, apparently

Bit rank, but as we know plenty of stuff goes on in your 20s that makes you cringe. Stringer is human. Definitely glad he played for us, highly entertaining player.

Yeah, he was great to watch in his time with us, too. Especially in 2015, when he was AA.

I remember that year well, was his peak, so quick and dangerous. You knew something was going to happen when he was near it. Thats over now, body has slowed right down. He still has the heart

 

[brutus76]

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

'Snap one off'?

Whut mean?

 

[Test Tickle]

Whut mean?

Backed one out?

Dropped the kids off at the pool?

 

[mike ross]

He was my favourite player during the years 2015 - 16.

 

[joey_jo_jo]

He was my favourite player during the years 2015 - 16.

I reckon his 21 season was arguably his best. Was really stiff not to get AA.

 

[doug85]

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.

and get fit.

Sounds like the kids were dropped off at a small compartment!

So how would that not resonate with the private schoolers?
