Season 2025 - GWS

He actually looked fit surprisingly, i expected him to come back heavy post injury as usual.

I’ve gotta say 5 of those last quarter goals from the giants were incredible, Harlem globetrotters stuff, i recommend watching the mini for anyone that hasn’t seen.

If only they had even a competitive midfield, with their forward and backline i think they’d win the flag, such a missed opportunity, well done Jason McCartney, what a moron.

To add to previous post, i don’t think i ever saw stringer this thin at Essendon, maybe his first year can’t remember.

Amazing what can happen when you set high standards.

Stringer was pretty fit in 2021 (unsurprisingly, his contract year)

he was also the highest rated player in the comp for the second half of the season IIRC

Looks like Tom Hanks in Philadelphia. :joy::joy:

9 news just showed footage on what provoked Toby Greene to make the overweight comment about Papley.

Footage showed Papley taunting Stringer for his skin folds.

Goodbye cheat

I think he did it joining the GWS fitness department victory lap celebrating their high standards.

Jeez imagine how many he would have done this year if he was still at Essendon?

That sucks for Jake and GWS. I mean he has a flag but still.

About 7 weeks, but good call nonetheless

That’s a good example of what happens when you go from a particular type of training program and become accustomed to it into a more intense one.

As unfit as he was with us, we were able to get him on the park and get 1.5 goals out of his 15 or so games per year. He’s on track to produce around the same amount for GWS. Although he’s feasted on North, Sydney twice, us and Geelong.

If we kept him, I’d say he’d still have hamstring issues. Maybe not as much as he’s had with GWS though. I suspect we’ve upped our training, but it’s not at GWS levels yet.
