It's not exactly screaming 'pick me' either, especially when a bunch of those came in a couple of games.49 goals from 29 games in a rubbish side isn't half bad.
It probably doesn't matter if you've got a s**t attitude if you can win games off your own boot the way Stringer can.you're aware we've had jake stringer as a best 22 player for the last 5 years?
voss was crushing half our 22 in time trials, throwing his weight around in the vfl, and people want to invent that somehow weideman, guelfi, and stringer are more 'professional' or have the correct 'effort'?
It does when your AFL side is carrying a forward that kicks 15 from 16 games in the same period.It's not exactly screaming 'pick me' either, especially when a bunch of those came in a couple of games.

Stringer was booted out of a club, and has won what exactly since?It probably doesn't matter if you've got a s**t attitude if you can win games off your own boot the way Stringer can.
The point is, that despite any questionable attitude he was and remains one of our most important players and was unlikely to ever be dropped.Stringer was booted out of a club, and has won what exactly since?
That is the other part. In the games he played well he played well but last year he was not really throwing his weight around week in and week out. Not in the same way he was in 2022. It was very up and down. He had games where he was getting 5 plus tackles and then there where weeks where he was 0 to 2 tackles. You can have a look at the VFL reports. There where a lot of weeks where I posted for a physical guy he was not playing a lot of physical footy.you're aware we've had jake stringer as a best 22 player for the last 5 years?

If he was not under contract he may have got the boot last year.Stringer was booted out of a club, and has won what exactly since?
Would we have had Vigo if he stayed as a rookie for a third year ? we only ttook one rookie pick and that was Vigo to replace Voss.
To be fair how many of our delisted players have gone on to do anything much ?Delist and pay out Weideman, upgrade Voss, draft Vigo.
With Stringer, Langford, Jones and Wright playing so well this year he wouldn’t get a look in, but if we gave him half a dozen games last year he either sinks or swims, if he sinks, great, you delist him and it’s an informed decision. If he swims he either wins another deal on merit or he even becomes a bit of trade bait.
We’ve been wrong so many different times, I don’t see why it’s so difficult to believe we were wrong here.
I was so happy for him and you could tell it meant a lot to him. He seems like a ripper guy but there’s not one fiber in my body that feels like we have let something vital go.Reading this thread; did we delist Wayne Carey Jr or something? I watched the game, it was meh at best.

Let me guess.You mean you're not taking by the slightly homoerotic fantasies of what he could be?
homoerotic
Let me guess.
You're perfectly content with what the club did.
