List Mgmt. Collingwood Trade and FA

[ElliottsMaggies]

I thought his role was to keep Zorko quiet.

Yes it was.

 

[manicpie]

I think we are. Crazy if we don't try.
He's definitely a big game player.
At the MCG he will thrive.

It's a no brainer for me. I don't care what he does in his private life, he's exactly what we need

 

[cakewalk06]

You'll come around. We've got a seat side aside for you on the Stringer Express. Not in the dining car - Jake's booked that carriage out for himself - but it's an OK seat.

Is it in the large caboose?

 

[Fat Jesus]

It's a no brainer for me. I don't care what he does in his private life, he's exactly what we need

He's obviously trying to improve himself as a person. No booze.
Doesn't look unfit or lazy to me.
He will lead our goalkicking forwards easily I think. Probably kick 50 with great players around him.

I got a sore caboose atm, bloody curried goat

Absolutely. The poor guy just wants an extra couple of years and a bit of a pay increase.

Nick dropping the ball to Jake where he likes it would be a thing of beauty.
Fly knows this.

We are a low scoring, defensively minded attack. We need an offensive forward

 

[partypie]

I don't want him anymore because apparently he only changes his jocks every second day. He likes to turn them inside out after a day's use

Wait doesn't everyone do that during camping season???

 

[Fat Jesus]

Jake plays like a big forward. Bag of tricks guy.
Say we pay him 550k. Bargain

We can only hope. I reckon we need him

 

[Fat Jesus]

Good chance if he's already had talks with Fly and Pendles.
Why bother meeting with him.

 

[Gabbo64]

People are allowed to disagree. And I can't make my opinion any clearer.

I don't want him at my club for lots of reasons.

That's OK, but it really is "our" club and we may want him.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

That's OK, but it really is "our" club and we may want him.

It doesn't matter what any of us want. We don't make the decisions.

 

[Gabbo64]

Too true.

 

[Mollythedolly]

We'll have to agree to disagree. He's only after more money & 2 years, imo.

Of course he is, but that’s not the question. The question is can he improve our onfield performances?

Yes he can. I will be ecstatic if we land him. A no brainer IMO

 

[celestial]

But if a supporters disapproval of a clubs decision to acquire a certain player reaches critical mass , then there is always the possibility the club reevaluates it's position and reverses course. We have seen this happen with North and Taryn Thomas.

There's a bit of a difference

 

[Roverjg]

Yes, I think he could make our forward line better. I don’t care whether we get him or not. However we are not going to win a premiership with our list. The list that won in 2023. What is interesting is the double standards of the media. Could Stringer be fitter? Absolutely, can he be inconsistent? Without a doubt, but don’t downplay his season whilst upbuilding other’s who did not have a good a year as Stringer. Here are the comparable statistics of some players that played the HF/ 3rd forward

And we're all entitled to our own opinions on that too.

 

[Mollythedolly]

Happy for us to go all in at the draft and pass on Stringer. Can see that he might offer us something but prefer we look to bolster our longer term prospects.

Why don't you want Jake bro?
He's a star

He won't cost much and this list has another year or two to snatch another flag.
Meanwhile we will bring in youth.

Looking like we’ll only add 3-4 players, prefer they’re all longer term prospects.
