Apparently will be testing out the market after a falling out with the Bulldogs.

Had a poor season but at his best is capable of just about anything and can break a game open like few others.

What would you be willing to give up for him?

 

Maybe for a packet of chips. Bit of an overrated show pony I reckon. 

BT's head would explode trying to call 'the Package' wearing red and blue! 

 

Nothing... 0

Has hammy issues and poor final series last year. Not a big game player!

id take him for sure. has shown he has the talent and is still only young.  i would certainly have him before gaff. who knows, maybe he could be reinvented as a backman.


He has the talent to be one of the best in the comp, but these days he seems more interested in trying to get cheap goals out the baxjnand his work rate isn there. 

We fortunately have Macca who knows plenty about him. 

If we thought we could get him back to his best we'd be silly not to look at him but if there is any doubt we can't afford another guy who picks and chooses when he has a crack 

 

Watts for Stringer... straight swap of 2 prodigiously talented but underperforming players


His best is very good but we really dont need him. Have fun in Queensland Jake.

Played very well in the finals the year before.

He clearly hasn't got his head straight at the moment and he's coming off two poor years.  However, he's an All Australian with prodigious talent who's shown that when he's 'on' he has the potential to be one of the best in the biz.

This could be a classic case of buy low, sell high.  Would be interested to see what the Doggies would want for him.

Colin sylvia mark 2.  All the ability but does he want it

Except for that time he was an AA and kicked 56 goals in a season.

Sylvia may have featured in our top 5 in the BnF once in his career if he was lucky?

Stringer has runs on the board and is proven quality. Obviously something has gone on this year. I'm not saying we should get him, but he's nothing like Sylvia. 


Goodys game plan requires forward pressure.....

Hogan, Watts and Stringer in the same forward line would be a disaster.

Thought I'd gladly trade Watts for Stringer. 

Agreed we would have to let Watts go if we wanted Stringer, Stringers best is better than Watts overall in big games, just needs to get his act together 

Just what we need.....another Lazy player,no thanks.

The club would be foolish not to inquire.

His 2015 form was just sensational.

Both, Brendan McCartney (ex-coach) and Todd Viney (2012 recruitment manager, also having spent a lot of time around the Vic Country squad) should have a good insight into his character.


I wonder why you suddenly have a so called fallout when a year ago you won a premiership with this team. 

Has he sooked it up because Bevo dropped him because he wasn't performing, or did he not think he got club support when his marriage fell apart. Which would surprise me considering how they supported Tom Boyd. 

No I don't want him. yes he is only 23 but doesn't chase enough and a bit inconsistent. I hope he sorts it out with the dogs and stays there. 

This thread reminds me of the Dustin Martin thread three years ago when nobody wanted him. Stringer has similar potential to Petracca. As he gets older he could develop into a great player, but even if he doesn't reach his potential, he will still be worth more than whatever pick the dogs get for him. It's a yes for me.

wanted neck tatts three years ago, will happily have stringer now

but...he's third / fourth on list of priorities

lever
gaff / whitfield
stringer

I'd go:

Whitfield

Gaff

Stringer

Lever

That order would easily change depending on the asking price of each.

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
