Speculation Jake Stringer [trigger for 1 year with Essendon, exploring options]

[Junk yard]

So he stays? You have let him explore his options by not giving him a 2nd year.

If he could get fit and be a professional - he would get a longer contract from the club that knows him best.

Be pretty rare for a bloke to be in the system from draft age to 30 and then start acting like a professional. Has survived on talent for a long time and still has a heap to give but I'm not sure we'll see it.

 

[iameviljez]

And I'm ok with that.

Played every game and kicked 42 goals if he can get super and repeat it next year and kick 50 goals club will come after him

Mate, if Jake Stringer could become a fit professional player he would have done it already

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

I doubt Stringer leaves Victoria unless he gets an offer too good to turn down, and I don’t think any club would offer him such a deal.

Yeah I'll cant see him moving interstate on 2 years he would want 3 imo and no club is going to give that

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Na mate, didnt you hear? McCartneys gonna flick us a token 4th because Stringer has said he's not returning to the club.

Ha, Jase the mastermind. I remember the last time - he spent a few weeks telling everybody what a cancer Stringer was, then surprisingly found there was nobody bidding for him.

Then we were clearly the only club interested and offered unders - he refused it, then eventually took it.

Playing chess while everybody else plays checkers, JMac.

Swans have ruled themselves out of any pursuit of Stringer.

Just like I've ruled myself out of playing for Liverpool this weekend

If the Swans were to offer Stringer two years, I suspect Jakey would have bitten their hands off.

Makes sense to me not what they need at all

THE PACKAGE free to a good home! If no one claims, return to sender!

Good to see Essendon held their nerve and not extend the remaining 1 year deal. Looks like Jake will need to pull a finger out every year to get rolling 1 year deals.

You just know Geelong will offer something.

You just know Geelong will offer something.

They just de-listed Rohan cant see them wanting Stringer

They just signed Jack Martin.

 

[adogsfan5]

He’d actually be a good fit for the swans.

Hawkins finished too.
It just wouldn't surprise me.
They were into him when we traded him in.

Yeah but they are getting Bailey Smith and Jack Martin

Jake will end in the preseason draft I think. Why would the dons want him now? They could get rohan cheaper and he chases

I will write you a blank cheque that he’s not in the preseason draft.

Jake to cats with Smith and Oliver. Sounds like the club would implode if that were to happen. They're not a rehab group.

 

[Daka]

Jakey not as good as he thinks he is. Well played Essendon.

I put forth this in another thread.

GWS Trade out O'halloran, 52, 55, Get 31 Shiel Stringer
Dons Trade out Shiel Stringer 31 Get 47, 52, 55, F4
Dogs trade out 47, F4 Get O'halloran

I reckon we get Shiel and stringer for 52 and 55 without losing XoH

If Shiel and Stringer both want to go there we're more likely to ask for Stone and 37 or 52/55 tbh. Plus we're only adding 163 points there, not really worth it from our perspective.

I figured if they going to trade XOH then 31 is better than what they'd get from the dogs.

Yeah but I’m pretty sure we’re holding him this year
