Essendon have plenty of talls so they could let him go in hope of adding to their midfield depth? HmmmGreekLunatic wrote: ↑Sat Aug 31, 2024 12:09 pm Theres a rumour going around that fly had lunch with Jake stringer and his manager

Re: Trade Targets ~ Free Agency & MSD player movements
^I'd say McCrae would be a good influence plus if it gives Stringer a chance at a flag he would be disciplined. Our squad SHOULD have 7-8 weeks extra pre-season prior to 2025. That estimate is subject to the assumption of no more whacky early March fixturing

Re: Trade Targets ~ Free Agency & MSD player movements
Well at the rate they are going (and the negative reaction here towards anyone mentioned as a potential target), we will get nobody before the draft and most will be satisfied I mean WTF every possible recruit mentioned has been unmercifully flamed and the only ones being supported are those we are extremely unlikely to get! Get a grip guys FFS we need to improve if the club is serious about winning another flag, and part of that process is to get available talent that the club sees as a good get to be stronger. We need to consider Stringer as a good get, along with any others that the club has in their sights on and to hell with the eternal negative nellies who see the worst possible outcome instead of the best one. I have always believed that the club knows best and the last few days have totally reinforced that belief. Go Collingwood, do what’s best for the club like clubs like Geelong and Hawthorn are doing I very much doubt that those clubs have the fans we have who are easily spooked by risk taking and constantly jump at shadows Sick of this nonsense
I term the current Collingwood attack based strategy “Unceasing Waves” like on a stormy and windy day with rough seas. A Perfect Storm

Re: Trade Targets ~ Free Agency & MSD player movements
^I do agree that the general tone is negative and I think it's driven by the notion that only superstars or close to them will put us in contention next year.

Re: Trade Targets ~ Free Agency & MSD player movements
No thank you to Stringer, he can stay where he is.
We don't need another 30+
Or the headlines he would create
Or his lack of effort. Turns up when he feels like it

Many were calling Dan McStay 'Dan McStayaway' prior to the 2022 trade period. Without him, we wouldn't have beaten GWS in the prelim.

Re: Trade Targets ~ Free Agency & MSD player movements
S'funny, but this is how we viewed De Goey for a long time. We wouldn't have won the flag without him.
Stringer is highly unlikely to make the same waves as an early 20-sumthing (Stephenson, Ginnie, etc). Not certain what he plans to do after football, but I'd reckon that these last 2-3 yrs will be an important nest egg for his future. If there are no other targets we're aiming for then I personally say yes, give him a go.
Oh, and imagine if we (somehow) managed to add Petracca to the mix next year. De Goey, Stringer, and Petracca rotating through our forward line and midfield...

Jake Stringer is a good player. 42 goals this season.
So wouldn’t say NO but is over 30.
Can’t see Essendon letting him go.

Re: Thinking ahead to 2024 draft...(and beyond)
Get Stringer and Tomlinson- both plug and play (Stringer mid-forward- plus 40 goals) (Tomlinson the tall wingman we crave)
Get Davies and Peatling- playing for the future midfield- both starting 22.
If we win the flag in 2025, the mass exodus of older guys at season's end '25 will be greatly soothed....

Firm in the belief that number 17 flag is only months away...
