Stringer would eat Fanta, he’s 6’3” or 6’4”, north of 90kg and plays basically out of the goal square as a small target. Fanta is about 68kg, sub 6 foot and works up as far as the wings and runs just as hard without the ball.
I’m not sure I see much of a similarity. That said, there’s not many guys like stringer around these days.

Original team(s) Eaglehawk (BFL) Bendigo Pioneers (TAC Cup)
Draft No. 5, 2012 national draft Height 192 cm (6 ft 4 in) Weight 92 kg (203 lb)
Position(s) Forward
GWS have already offered Smith and 23 I believe for 11,
Pick 23 or 28 could be used for Saad
Bulldogs won’t bite on 2 second round picks for Stringer, I think this will be our 2018 1st rounder, which is likely to be between 11 & 14, hopefully higher.
Stringer will play at least 150+ games for the Dons, we would take that every day of the week for a mid teen pick
I think you need to take into account that Smith is uncontracted, is leaving GWS for a return to Melbourne, was not even selected when available in their last final and partly selected Essendon because of our recovery facilities - he has a dodgy knee.
I did say ‘beat pick 20’
Dogs want something in the 1st round - they’ll probably settle for value between 15-19. You’re probably right - only reason they wouldn’t accept that is pride and hubris.
Im all for trading next years second rounder to Suns or GWS as they will be more interested in that for academy selections and Suns already will get plenty of picks this year.
11 28 next years second (2006 plus however you value next years second) for 19 24 Saad (1733 plus Saad)
19 Stringer
24 Smith
Allows GC to stockpile one of the many second round picks they have (and/or will receive) for next years ‘superdraft’ and gives them another pick before the draft ‘drops off’. If we could swap 46 for one of 35 or 37 that would be choice.
Seems that we believe pick before 19 is as far as we can push the Dogs. Given the media has said pick 15-20 and were speculating on pick 20 from Geelong for him, would seem to be fair value.
