Read about this bloke today. I know it's a bit early for this talk, but he does sound like a ripper.

I also understand that we will prob be looking for mids, but he might be too good to overlook.

Any thoughts?

Fair chunk of a lad - already at 91 kays....

Sounds good, but.....I reckon it'll be mids, mids and more mids

I think we should still go for best available, whatever the position. Especially if we have three first round picks, and then early second. If this guy turns out to be a Mathew Pavlich type player, then he is as good as an extra mid anyway. Definately one to keep a close watch on for the rest of the year.

 

Been compared to Goddard a lot.

Strong basketball background, explosive athlete.

Horror broken leg last year, and there were concerns, but from the sounds of things he has recovered well.

Was in contention for one of the minidraft picks until breaking his leg.

It'll be best available as much as possible, with a mind to making sure we get a handful of mids.

Nothing to stop Stringer from playing in the midfield though, like a Goddard, Kennedy, Goodes or Pavlich.

Anyone know if Jesse at Geelong is his brother?

I think he is. They're both from SA to my knowledge.

I agree, if he can play mid and has the tank.

Interesting report on the match he kicked 10 goals in on bigfooty:

http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?p=24022827#post24022827

I don't know how many goals he finished with, might have been 10? I gave up keeping track in the last quarter, because quite frankly the Knights defense was embarrassing. It certainly looked like they had given up. Stringer played the whole game at essentially full forward, rarely left the forward fifty. Guessing he is still returning to full fitness, and he did have a noticeable limp. Although to be fair, I don't really know what his gait was like to begin with.

But, he did whatever he wanted today. He marked absolutely everything and was fending every tackler off with ease. His teammates were definitely feeding him the ball, and a few easy goals over the top helped his tally along. His goal kicking wasn't all that flash actually, missed a few easy shots but he did kick a bag anyway. But realistically, he should have kicked another 5 on top of that.

Apart from looking like Paul Duffield in appearance and running style, Stringer reminded me of Matthew Pavlich today. His body work and marking was very Pavlich like up forward.

So good and bad with Stringer.

Obviously, this is just one person's opinion though.

 

Apparently he does go through the midfield at times, sounds like he can play all over the ground. A few reports on BF have him going In the top 5. If we end up with picks 3 & 4 he'll be very much In the mix.

If this kid has the goods... pick him! We all saw what happens when you pick a player based on position and not talent when Richmond took Tambling over Franklin.


Pick him!

We still require a key big bodied forward. Reminds me of Neitz. Can play Back and forward and is getting a run in the midfield with Bendigo.

Pick 3 - best mid

Pick 4 - best fwd (eg. Stringer)

Pick 13 - best mid or small fwd

2nd rounder - Mr. Jack Viney (Son of a Gun)

Trade for a Jon Griffin or Zac Clarke from Freo (eg. Morton)

Stevie J reckons he's gonna be a cracker.....at least that's what i heard anyway

The thing with this draft is that there's a dozen players with his potential.

Good year to have 3 first round picks!

As I said - ruckman Grundy playing SANFL U/18s reportedly had 49 hitouts, 33 disposals, 10 marks and 5 goals - good year to have 3 x 1st round picks.

Take the kid to the pub now, get him on the sauce and away we go! Sounds like a good get at 25...

Poor character from where i sit, not the sort of 250 game, 600 goal ready made key position player we want to be considering a low first round pick on.

Dont forget the "bleeding in the brain" issues or do the Heppell trick - make sure you send him to the MFC club doctor even if we pick up the bills.

What was the Heppell trick Doc?

Was they're some suggestion re his recruitment?

I think it was a supposed Hammy which dropped him from top 4 to about 8

It was groins. The word from everyone was that his groins were cactus.

But apparently the Essendon doctor was also his doctor in the TAC cup and had a good look at them and knew he'd be fine.

The funnies thing was Tigers bought it (Heppell had be training with them and on their radar for years) - Tigers use pretty sophisticated tracking software these days- and I'm not saying this did happen but I suggest somebody may have manually over ridden it to get Conca above Heppell for what ever reason.

Oh GC17 bought it too & I'm sure that was who the "injury" deception was aimed at. Think (well might know) Tigers had other concerns.

Edited by Dr Who

I knew that the Lions were initially into Heppell, but were spooked by his groin "problems". I thought the Tigers were keen on Polec, but because the Lions took him amid fears of Heppell's injuries, chose Conca. Never knew they were keen on Heppell.

We can't be too critical of the Tigers though, after all they landed Martin at pick 3 when we had the first 2 picks. Though we may still come out on top depending on us drafting good replacements for the HWMNBN compensation.

To be honest these sound like rumours and are not 100% accurate (hehehehe - sorry I'm laughing for different reasons & not at the rumours as such)

- Polec was always Brisbane bound.

- Tigers were always focused on Heppell or Conca - Bombers new their "real" opposition was GC17 with weight of picks and Tigers.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
