List Mgmt. Our Trade/FA, Suburban & Country Town Thread

[sr36]

A few years back he said during an interview that he had never gone for a run as long as 5k before. Possibly the most extraordinary utterance I have heard from a modern day footballer.

A friend of mine went to Essendon training last year. And had this conversation:

What injury does Stringer have?
None that I know of
But he can't run properly
That's just Stringer. He always trains like that.

 

[Crazy Tails]

Petracca is on record saying he has heard from Darcy the most since the incident, for which he is most grateful for

Interesting. More love and care from us than his own club??

"Speaking on the How They Trainpodcast, the Bombers livewire opened up on the hard work he put in last summer that led to his brilliant season, revealing he’d never been taught how to run long distance or covered such mileage before in AFL training.

"“It was more just get out and pound the pavement and learn how to do that. Because before I probably hadn’t ran over 2kms straight in eight years,” Stringer said."

Taught to run long distance??

Don’t you just start running, it doesn’t need much thought let alone someone to teach you!

Couldn’t imagine Fly got much conversation, just a few grunts and fart noises coming back in that lunch meet.

Big NO

He broke his leg pretty bad before his draft year. Maybe that is looks like that when he trains.

I'm hoping Fly is such a nice guy that whenever a player/manager requests a meeting, he'd say yes. Not because he's interested in the player

Hopefully we didn't instigate it.

I kind of respect that he can get away with it. He never learnt how to run far because he never had to.

Reminds me of a very talented mate of mine who ended up at Hawthorn. Big marking full forward. Immediately latched onto Dunstall and a few others as the slow lazy runners who would take short cuts on their runs from Glenferrie to the Boulevard. Problem was that the other lazy ones were established footballers. My pal was not. And he was also a one-position player at a club that already had a decent full forward. Many reserves games and one senior match was probably a poor return for his talent.

And it certainly wouldn't be hard to get Stringer to go anywhere after he hears the magic words, "free lunch".

 

[Chameleon75]

I’m not buying this stringer’s never had to run before thing. I can totally see him doing a runner on a cab.

 

[GreekLunatic]

Please no stringer whose position is he going to take

 

[Lifelong Pie]

Not sure about all the Stringer hate here, id be happy if he came to the pies, plus I'd rather play Essendon without him being in their team, he always seems to play well against us

Bomber fans don't even want Stringer.

That tells you everything. He's lazy af.

 

[PiesHateU2]

Irrespective of his personality, I don't mind Stringer if he comes dirt cheap. He is only 30, I think, so should easily have 2+ years in him.

Playing for essendogs in front of 30K after loading up on 5 big macs versus playing in front of 90K and dealing with the consequence of f***ing up... now that should be motivation enough.

Also as someone rightly pointed out... scores more goals than majority of our forwards have in the last decade. That's a risk worth taking I reckon

I know he is lazy but he can play, with all our veterans we are trying to win it next year, there wouldn't be many more talented options possibly available at a price we could afford, doubt it will happen anyway, can't see him leaving Essendon

With all our veterans...all the more reason not to bring in a lazy, fat veteran.

GC have offered him 3 years.

Good. Take it Jake.

So where has this Stringer talk come from?

Given our list mgmt policy, he could play the next 10 years for us

I wouldn't mind bringing in someone who can kick 40 odd goals and swap on ball with Degoey, I will admit though I've never watched him closely to see if he runs defensively or anything

I suggest you watch him more closely then..

Alternatively read the Bombers Jake Stringer thread.

Our veterans play longer because they look after themselves & take pride in their fitness.

Just a source inside the club.

It's pretty solid,

Bombers are a bit over the click of Stringer Larverde and Merrett.

Merrett is a big **** when around these 2 and Bombers want to move away from it.

Sounds just like the sort of character you'd want in your club then

Fly would hate him. Surely.

I think in Stringers defense, wasn’t his leg injury so horrific prior to being drafted that it would alter the way he could run?
