Yes to 18yo stringer with no hesitation. Yes to 16yo unbroken-legged Stringer so fast that time might actually revolve backwards.
Current Stringer - well, I haven’t seen much of him at the Dogs and I don’t know the truth of what’s going on with him that led to this point, so it’d depend what we pay. But the talent is there. Really, really there.

TBH your my draft guru. The SEN guy said this years draft pool becomes a puddle after pick 5 or so. What are your thoughts on trading Pick 11 for Stringer. Do you believe we can ■■■■■■ a good inside mid with Pick 11?
We don’t need to use pick 11 on a mid just cos it’s a shallow draft.
If anything first priority should be to get lever with pick 11.
move Mcgrath into the midfield.
Use second round pick plus a player to get stringer.
Our starting midfield next year will hopefully be
Zerrett
parish
mcgrath
wings
zaka
rotating between tippa, raz and stringer but more likely green/begley.
Nail this trading peiod and preferably get Lever and Stringer, and it sets this club up for a very long time IMO.
Kelly would be awesome, but the price IMO is too much with the other talent on offer now.
@Fidgiputana Yeah, this. I’ve seen a few games this year, and will hopefully be able to catch a bunch of replays before the draft now the renovations etc that were occupying me are nearly done, but @THE_DON1 is a fair bit ahead of me at this point.
Stringer is actually Ben Cousins unless it’s a cunning ruse by one of the dogs, us, Connors, or the AFL, or it’s bull, and several posters enjoy the action thrillers of Matthew Reilly.
All of the below are potential guns who would suit our needs (clearances/inside-50s), and at least one of which should be available considering there are other names being considered for the top 5, and there are a couple of others who aren’t so much suited to our needs around the mark too:
Hunter Clark
Jaidyn Stephenson
Andrew Brayshaw
Charlie Constable
Lochie O’Brien
Darcy Fogarty
Jack Higgins
@Fidgiputana I think the top 8 or so are the clear standouts maybe one of those 8 slides to 11 idk but if we are going on Stringers talent and leaving out the offield issues I’m trading 11 in a heartbeat. If we do have issues with the offield stuff and think we can get a deal that gets us pick 25 back from them I’m down for that.
Pick 11 in this draft is the sweet spot for Stringer
