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.

    Biggest [censored] in the AFL

    Plays 4 good games per season

    Has the talent to be a star. 

    Wouldn’t touch him with a 10 foot clown pole

    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.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
