Speculation Jake Stringer - Trigger for 1 year with Essendon, exploring options

[Colonial]

Whenever the words "if he can get healthy" are added, the goose is well & truly cooked. Time to move on

Amazes me how often eternally injured players get one over clubs in all sports then to exactly no ones surprise get injured again...

Hogan says hi.

Hogan says hi.

Don’t go tempting fate, ffs!!!!

Averaged 1.9 goals against sides that’s finished Top 8, and 1.8 goals against sides that finished bottom 10.

Exactly, against good sides he missed more! 1 goal 9 is unacceptable against quality opponents

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Did Tom Morris on ch9 said Jake will request a trade just not yet Essendon/GWS waiting to get to work?

seriously though, the fat bloke at half rat power is still better than half the league.

 

[Keystone agony]

Very surprised if it is in fact just a 2 year deal that he wants to leave to another state that aint exactly the cheapest state to live in either

Maybe hard to go back on his words of telling people 'hes played his last game at essendon'

Surely back yourself in on a one year deal, very likely get another years deal

but whether im happy or not will depend on what we get in return


F2, Stone, 57, 60 and 78 is what id want (Happy to get that if Shiel wants to leave aswell to them in the same package)

Hogan says hi.

You'll struggle to think of too many more examples I bet and for everyone you do there's 5 that just sit in the physio rooms all the time

 

[Colonial]

2 year deal with provisions for a 3rd maybe?

Pretty sure though Hogan was 1 with provisions for a second should he hit his targets(thankfully he did).

Could be the same deal for Shiel length wise.

We shall see I guess.

Mummys couch is a wonder.

who knows? Maybe he just wants a chance to play finals?
GWS will get him for about what we paid for Hogan.

Very low priority. He wants 2 years and he'll go to whoever is offering that.

Having said that, I love the fit for him at GWS. Think he could do very well.

 

[AFDogs]

Stringer/GWS seems like a great fit for me. Hope it gets done.

Hogan says hi.

Hogan dealt with cancer and the loss of his father IIRC. Plus a bad foot injury at the Demons.

I feel like he overcame far more than most footballers and he always presented in better shape than Stringer. TBH I was surprised you managed to pick him up at cheap as the risk vs v reward was worth any team asking the question

Interviews with Hogan recently have said he and his manager leaked that they were in talks with multiple clubs but the truth was there was only the Giants.
Hope he stays healthy enough to get the life time membership accolade at the club (I know it ain’t much but to me it always felt like a big deal), he has done so well turning things around. Unbelievable.
Stringer is definitely a different kind of off field drama, but you can always turn things around and have faith in the cub being able to tell if he really does want that.

He really wanted to stay though

Stringer is what he is, he's not changing at this stage of his career.

Hogan was one of the feel-good stories of 2024. If Stringer's year next year is even 10% of how people reacted to Hogan, any team would be happy with that outcome.

 

[zeggie]

Can Essendon just hurry up and fall on their sword and give Stringer 2 years already. They don't have anyone else. Stringer doing Jack shit in 2025 is destiny.

I get the feeling that going off-Broadway is not a bad thing for Jake.

 

[Keystone agony]

Who?

Sorry there was talk with Stringer and Hogan.

Stringer wants to stay? He is the one approaching the Giants.

Only because weve not offered him what he wanted

Before the offer he desperately wanted to stay

So pick 56 gets this done?

If Shiel or Stone are not involved then I would say so.
