Stringer kicked 56 goals in 2015 when he was named an All Australian, and then booted 42 majors in the Dogs' premiership season the following year.
But Essendon coach John Worsfold is keen to utilise the match-winner up the ground as well.
"Stringer will go through there and we believe he’ll play good midfield football without maybe being a full-time midfielder," Worsfold said this week.
“If he got an injury and couldn’t train all through January then that will change our view on how we use him, but we believe if we get the pre-season into him he’ll be able to play up there for potentially 50 per cent of his game time, which will be maybe 50 minutes [a week].”
