It seems the AFL have quietly dumped their '3 strikes and out for 6 weeks rule'.  At best it looks like out for 2 or 3 weeks or not at all...

And has anyone noticed the a whole range of non-injury reasons for players of a number of clubs missing a few games here and there.

...maybe they stop target testing some players after 2 strikes...:rolleyes:

Was wondering the exact same. Seems an unholy amount of collaboration. Nudge..wink

Yeah agreed. But this was from that Essendon win when we were paying 10-1 and I won a bit of money on it so I just can't part ways with it.

Any suggestions for a new one?

OK I can see the personal financially sentimental aspect there, but seriously, anything else! Maybe a picture of Jake Lever's dad?

Paging @SaberFang while we're at it :P

Link to the first story i could find online... didnt give much away. He must have been asked specifically about Geelong because thats the only other club mentioned.

Time will tell i guess, but i for one would be very happy to give him a second chance if the price was right. Reckon he will come good after this wake-up call.

It's all a moot point anyway as we aren't interested in him.  

The other part of this is that Stringer doesn't seem to be even remotely interested in us either.

Surely if he had such a great relationship with Macca ...

When you read the article, it seems like Stringer is in denial. Starts off by saying that he was shocked and upset, and that he had a good season. The rest is just fluff.

Hawks have ruled out any interest.

Not the brightest tool in the shed, or most articulate.

When referring to what might happen in the next few weeks he said " the past three weeks will let us know more".

Sorry, I don't want to come across as a smart-a***, but my point is that we all have a slip of the tongue or make a mistake from time to time. Maybe he meant to say "the next three weeks will let us know more".

Personally, I don't care if he is or isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. From memory, he's a country boy who grew up on a dairy farm. It's unlikely he's articulate like many of the private school boys that come into the system.

What is important is that he can play good football, as well as understand and execute a club's game plan (plus abide by their guidelines).

DL has just put me on the trade market.

PS. It is not his lack of intelligence that sees him in this position, though it could be mine that sees me in my current one.

I like the honesty of Rob Murphy who has more or less confirmed that Stringer has been a problem the last 2 seasons and must be in denial if he could not see his behaviour was a disruption. Maybe that is Stringers problem he cannot see that his behaviour is short of expectation and he isn't a fanatic of the daily grind of AFL.

Must become our Number One priority now -

Bulldogs have absolutely stuffed this up. Stringer is a gun and we can get him relatively cheaply.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
