#25 Jake Stringer (Part 1)

Does that mean he’s been posting “borderline” personal bests too?

On another point, I can’t believe that he’s still only 25 years old. Seems like he’s been around for a dozen or so years already.

His next contract should take him to 30.

I knew all those other Players & Clubs were on drugs.

In the 2km time trial he ran a PB by about 20 seconds.

Were there many? I must admit I only vaguely recall that trade thread, but I thought it was mainly positive.

There were quite a few.

Yep there was.

I remember quite a few saying “fck Stringer just get Smith and Saad and take our remaining picks to the draft.”

Was quite surprised that Jake nominated Essendon a lot of speculation was that Geelong was his preference

Don’t forget Smackaroo

Dodoro did pretty well I thought

He’s very good at the trade table and getting players to commit to Essendon I just don’t rate his drafting that highly I think that should be left to some one else.

Like Rob Forster Knight our head recruiter?

He’d be spun gold if we put a bit more focus into development. You can’t just draft someone in and say kill it if you treat coaching dept, fitness programs etc. secondary to cleaning up the mess of the last decade.

You said yourself you like Murphy, caracella etc.

Now that we’re starting to spend I expect a king of Moomba jacket in the next couple of years.
