Traded Jake Stringer - the package rerouted to Western Sydney (for pick 53)

[Rich01]

And just like that.

Stringer is back on the menu at Sydney.

Why would Longmire want another player that picks and chooses when he goes?

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Stringer is the last thing Sydney need.

 

[Atomboy]

Stringer is the last thing Sydney need.

They definitely needed some X-factor today.

Culture is strong enough to keep him in line you would think.

Jake for all his flaws does have a sense of the moment and tends to turn up in big games. Can’t really say the same for the Swans the last 2/3 Grand Finals

Stringer is the last thing Sydney need.

He is the exact thing Sydney need. McLean and Amartey is too much of the same thing. 1 of them needs to be replaced by a guy whose got a bit more X factor and can has more strings to his bow then kick it onto my head.

If Sydney dont sign Stringer, they aint being serious really .

Well he would replace one of those players.

Swap him for Amarty and that Sydney forward line looks alot more dynamic and loses nothing defensively.

Stringer to Swans could make or break them.

Would the Swans risk their culture for a bloke with very questionable intent?

It’s a huge risk for a club that most considered the best in it just 24 hours ago.

He’s mercurial & disastrous as the same time - if the swans take him on, it shows they have no answers.

Dont see Stringer as too different to Buddy that way in regards to being picked up

Performance is much more important then personality as a footballer so that should be enough to get him in

Amartey/McLean is too much of the same thing. Stringer in and McLean out will make this team much better

Stringer = Buddy

Now I’ve heard it all.

 

[BEEG]

Suddenly looking very attractive to Sydney with their abysmal tall forward line for all to see in the 2022 and now 2024 GFs

Would have been licking his lips yesterday after that game.

What big games has he turned up in recently?

The last finals series he played in was in 2016 and he was fairly awful for the most part.

Had a few moments in the 2016 finals but was invisible for most of it. He’s actually played in their EF losses in 2019 and 2021 since. You could say he embraced the big moment against us in 2021 by kicking their first and last goals. The last goal was in the second quarter, though.

Sydney need more players that are mentally tough (they have enough that arent) and Jake won't help with that at all.

Mental toughness is needed in that midfield. Up forward they need X factor and more goals

I dunno what to believe anymore.
Stringer camp leaking news to get an extra year from Essendon?
Essendon leaking a link to Membrey to get Stringer to accept the one year?

It all boils down to Membrey to the Swans

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Doesn't sound like Stringer is attracting interest from other clubs & likely to remain a Don

 

[Celebrity 101]

Will return to Essendon with his tail tucked between his legs.

Nobody wanted him funny enough. Interest from ZERO that’s right ZERO clubs.

Sydney leak was fake

isn't a better/more dangerous forward than those 3.

 

[Jackie_Moon]

I don't really understand the hate that comes Stringers way, other than missing a few dead set sitters every now and then he's great second fwd, if you're forward line is vanilla he'd be a great addition.

 

[Dangerousfield]

"exploring options" then finds out there are none.

Essendon easily put the Sydney rumour to bed with a quick call to the Swans who just laughed at the idea.

These are the End Days Jake, best to get fit this break and come back with a professional attitude, the last of big $ you'll make in your life.

Fly wanted him and after more research decided against it.

Stringer camp was confident and excited they would end up Collingwood.

 

[HairyO]

They didnt need x factor. They needed dependable grunt.
