Jake Stringer

Watts the matter
in Melbourne Demons

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!

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

    PASS

    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. 

  • Quote

    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 

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

    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. 

  • Quote

    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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
