Comparing Myers and stringer is one of the worst comparisons I’ve heard
I can’t even. Carry on

When Myers came back to the VFL he was a massive standout. Probably played 2 of the best games by any player in the VFL team all year, but he could not sustain it at AFL level.
14 VFL Best game of the season. 32 possessions, 12 clearances and three score assists. -
15 VFL Massive with 35 touches, seven clearances and nine inside 50s. Recall looming. -
16 Coll Wingman grabbed a lazy 31 disposals, added five clearances, five inside-50s and four tackles. Impressive running.
Struggled to maintain that form in the AFL from that point. May have had a niggle.

Who says he needs his career to turn around for me to be right?
I’m just trolling guys. I’m glad the club took a gamble on Stringer. I mean, I won’t be buying a membership for my daughter this year, but I’m sure we’re going to see the best of Jake in 2018.
Myers played just fine each game excluding the bit where he had to dispose of the ball. For whatever reason, to my eyes, he was woeful.

Pretty much this, Shuffling of players to suit different op involved. But thats about the it for mine
with the style of footy we play, you cannot have garbage disposal. its far too costly.
B: Baguley, Hartley, Saad
HB: McKenna, Hurley, Gleeson
C: McGrath, Heppell, Zaharakis
HF: Stringer, Daniher, Fantasia
F: McDonald-Tipungwuti, Hooker, Stewart
R: Bellchambers, Z.Merrett, Parish
INT: Goddard, Smith, Francis, Langford
For pure midfielders it is a little short, but a lot rides on Stringer getting super-fit enough to be able to rotate through there (I still then he is a fwd/mid rather than mid/fwd), Langford or Laverde emerging, Parish and McGrath enjoying greater responsibility. There are plenty of very good players outside my best 22, so depth will be insane. That forward line is damn sexy though!!

With the delistings retirements and recruictment you need the full list to work that out.
Will have a little go;
DEF:
Baguley Hurley Gleeson
McKenna Ambrose Saad
MID:
Bellchambers Myers Zerrett
Zaharakis Heppell McGrath
FWD:
Stringer Daniher Stewart
Fantasia Hooker Walla
Int: Colyer, Goddard, Smith, Parish
*Ideally Langford takes Myers’ place ASAP, hopefully they think he is ready, and that time is Round 1. Franga too when the time is right would go straight in.
Bit stiff for guys like Green, Begley and Leuey, but we can’t fit everyone in. A good show of depth at least

ok FWIW this will prolly not be the round 1 side, but i hope it is the finals side
Expecting Francis & Laverde to improve significantly, and be contributors.
Stringer/Laverde share midfield/forward role.

What are everyones thoughts on a forward line of Daniher, Hooker, Stewart and Stringer? All 190+ and before people say Stewart plays like a half forward, it is still very tall. I was comfortable with our 3 smalls 3 talls set up early in the year. However the GF runner ups have a set up of four 190+ talls in their F50 so it might work.

Nope. We need the fwd pressure from 3 smalls
When one tall is on bench or pinch hitting in ruck we will have Stringer fwd IMO
I agree, I like the 3 pressure smalls. Opposition teams come out of our F50 too easily, we need our smalls to chase and hug more players…
