If our culture is as strong as Pert, Gawn and Goodwin say (...), then we definitely should look at him. He kicked more goals than anyone on our list and would be a good foil for the younger players coming through.

On the other hand, Fritsch + Stringer, perhaps only room for one of them?

    How many goals would be kick for us next season if we bomb it long and slow and high into the big defenders in the goal square?

    Could be a bargain, not any worse than McAdam, and can be a match winner?

    Not any worse than McAdam ? Hardly a great sales pitch

    What I said about De Goey also applies to Stringer. If this scum ever steps foot at Melbourne I will burn my membership.

    One of the absolute worst people in football. Like seriously no.

    Big NO for me, his attitude on and off the field is akin to those playing in the white and black Guernsey. Let him play for the filth.

    His best is breath-taking. Power in close, goals on the run etc... Other players at both clubs he has played at have loved what he does on the field. Consistent, frequent goal kicker.

    He produces this best 5 or 6 times a season in match winning games where he does all his power/burst/explosive stuff which keeps him in public conversations. The other 17 games are 5/10 or below.

    I was club chaplain at one of his junior clubs (just after he left) and his amazing strength/burst footy was often talked about. But his emotional intelligence/social awareness/personal decision making was also often talked about (joked about).

    For me, 2 things dominate - 1) his lack of fitness, and 2) that he produces his best so rarely.

    Fit and consistent  - yes.

    In current fitness and consistency - no.

    One of the laziest players going around. 

    Only looks good when he gets the ball out the back, because he won't chase, defend or be accountable for an opponent.

    Good summary. 

    Imagine going through the entire Petracca saga, ostensibly about an un-ignorable slip in standards, and then getting Stringer.

    Fascinating to see how the media works and how the perspective of journalists changes depending on which club is under discussion. If you ask Bulldog fans and many Bombers supporters about Stringer and how he’s presented at his two clubs they might raise the subject of culture (of which there are a number of elements) differently to how Jon Ralph writes about it on p42 of yesterday’s Herald Sun:

    “Culture is a funny thing. Stringer didn't jump ship at the Western Bulldogs, he was pushed out through his own mishaps and controversies and found a home at the Dons.

    “He might be a lovable rogue, but he has often played hurt to his own detriment and reputation.”

    Could you imagine a player at Melbourne in the recent round of discussions about the club’s “culture” and with the same issues as having experienced “his own mishaps and controversies”, then described as “a lovable rogue”?

    Laughable.

    I'm in. He can take over from Melksham in being our mandatory football club Jake. Apologies to Lever and Bowey, but you don't fit the profile, and Van Rooyen is disqualified for the ob part. 

    Also, we can nickname him Bell, not in a reference to ends but as a tribute to the third-best character on the the award-winning television series the Wire. Petracca can be Avon.

    A man of the cloth MB38? I know DL is a broad church, but we could do with a steady hand on the tiller. Especially in this time of ‘crisis’. So many in need of pastoral care.

    Only 'strings' a few good games together in the last year of his contract; No.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
