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.

    Has the talent to be a star.

    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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
