Absolutely, Dogs have stuffed this whole Stringer saga terribly. He is no alter boy but worth the risk - if we dont land him as I said earlier wish the boy luck he is an amazing football talent that can be obtained for a relatively reasonable price.  

You just don't get it. His ex felt let down by the club because they wouldn't listen to her warnings. But she also said that you can only help someone who wants to be helped.

Stringer is the sole issue, not his ex-wife and not the club. He was the one who divided his teammates and the club with his off-field behaviour. His amazing football talent (your words, not mine) or his market value, doesn't come into it.

I would ask the leadership group whether it could work - gut feel, that in 2017, that LG would say 'let's talk to him .'

I would also be asking the coaching staff are they prepared to back themselves. 

I would be asking if our administration team is prepared to offer the support structures some players need. 

This is so Dusty Martin vs Scully/Trengove all over again. We all know what happened there Dusty wins a Brownlow and leads his team into a grand-final but no alter boy.

No it's not. This is more like Fevola and Carey getting kicked out of their respective clubs, because talent isn't the be all and end all. They had off-field issues that impacted their teammates. How did they fair at their new clubs?

I am happy to draft 'non-altar boys' but here is a bloke that allegedly cheated on his wife-to-be and mother of his children with schoolgirls. Plural.

Not the same as a wayward teenage Martin. If Dusty had done that before he was drafted, it would not even be the same - he would have been screwing schoolgirls as a schoolboy...

Sounds like a messed up individual and the young girls don't seem far off either according to the article. 

Obviously I know nothing as to what transpired but why would those young girls send pics and texts to his partner?

Pretty tacky way to air your dirty laundry. Two days ago it was all about her new breasts and new man.

For the sake of my kids, I'd tone it down. Each to their own I suppose. 

Don't get me wrong, Stringer is a filthy man-[censored], I hope he still goes to Essendon. 

I agree Ethan- it must have been all her fault.

That seems odd to me. But the fact Stringers ex says multiple girls sent her texts makes me think there is more to it. It just makes no sense.

Same here Wrecker. We all have our own opinions but that just seems spiteful, if they simply had enough just tell him to F off.

Good lord, you are a thoughtless and vulgar fellow Biffen!

I'm sure it was true love and who are you cast nasturtiums on others' choice of partner.

Jealous, memoryless, god i was lucky, do gooders

I'm wondering if the girls & gambling are just the tip of the iceberg...

Unfortunately past history seems to tell us that footy clubs couldn't care less if that's all their player is up to.

The Doggies reaction to the wife indicates this is still the case.

So what gives?

Have you not seen or known any teenage girls over the last decade???

 

It's a very teenage girl thing to do. They'd see it as scaring off the competition and getting one up.

Watched the grand final today and all I could think of was the fact we are only a player or two off being right there in the mix.

I was against stringer a week ago, but watching the delight of tigers fans made me wish it was us out there celebrating a win.

I'm sick of waiting for a flag, if Stringer is available he makes us better.

Apparently.

Let’s face Goodwin can’t even get the best out of Jack Watts what chance has he got with a proper lost cause like Stringer?

What Stringer allegedly did to his wife was appalling, but how does that make him a 'proper lost cause?' 

Like any other person, a player is going to respond differently in a new environment with new players and staff around him. He's a young guy who made a huge mistake and will no doubt regret it for a long time. I'd be happy to cut him some slack and see how he goes in a new environment.

Yes, just make sure he doesn't attend any high school box socials or whatever it is kids do these days.

I dare say, because there's more.

I wouldn't touch Stringer unless he does a G.A senior and finds God (and the footy)

Look what good that did for Yarran on the footy field

Remember stringer according to the article also seems to have a gambling issue. We have been through that with ox. 

Also u are wondering why girls are sending photos to the ex. Its to boast and rub it in that not only did they sleep with a footy player but also her husband.  

Unfortunately social media can be very unkind

I think he found him after he left the toigs.

I probably should amend what I said to 'I wouldn't touch him even if he does a GA senior...'

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
