Traded #25: Jake Stringer - 📦 Traded to GWS for Pick #53 - 16/10

[Lore]

Contract Status: Out of contract 2024
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 19, Harlequin

 

[Rick Ross]

Yup. GWS - a club where Jake would have actually lowered the dick head average, has rejected him.

 

[Blind Turn]

Let’s embrace the chaos one more time mofos!

 

[Runk]

Well this is awkward

 

[dank420_]

Peter Wright happy about not having to provide those missing 42 goals

Hope he’s been doing lots of running because the only available spot for him in the AFL side is as a mid.

 

[VelvetSledge]

And in a contract year?

Cancel your personal trainer and back to KFC Jakey

Hmmmm

Or the opposite… only to be played in his best position inside F50.

Club to focus on inside 50 entries, stop playing two rucks + 2MP, include Kako over Menzie / ADJnr and get Langford playing injury free.

What does it matter if he’s in his best position if that makes the side worse.

Need to play both ways not just swan around as a loose man and slot goals while your teammates play 17vs 18 more often then not

He doesn’t make the side worst lol, if anything he’s being traded so we can actually tank properly for once.

We lose versus Fremantle if not for his 4 goal ten tackle game.

Anzac day is a loss without Jake in the middle

Oh look we would’ve had have pick 6 now instead of 9

Some of you guys are really bitter at some of the points he kicked at the end of the year in game we had no chance of winning lol

Good God that's Connors' music!

Nevertheless he's not the future and I'd rather a kid develop in his spot

THIS THIS THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[andleanback]

The stringer deal will get done. The reporting from the last few hours has been laughable. Talk about journos just chasing clicks

Thats fine but pretending he was shit in 2024 and that this trade wasn’t about making points up for Kako (until Melbourne) and is tanking for development and a better draft positioning next year is lol.

It’s like saying the wolves got better trading towns to New York when it’s about getting out of his contract and giving more chance to naz reed. Call it for what it is.

Jake was great on Anzac Day.

Where he played primarily as a midfielder and it made the side work.

Problem is we need that every week if we want to progress as a side and he hasn’t been capable of that

Calling him shit is just as hyperbole as making the big claim that we're tanking by wanting to play someone for the future who'll at least attack the ball at all times. I think you're trying to rob Peter to pay Paul with your analysis. We also have two first rounders coming next year after a free hit in Kako there's no need to "tank". We will also be one of the least experienced sides so we're not gonna be great regardless.

Surely the NBA comp is Atlanta trading Murray because him and Trey Young don’t fit….

or New Orleans trying (and Failing) to move Brandon Ingram because him and Zion are too ball dominant

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Talks back on according to Age

Jake: ok ok I’ll take less money..just get it done

Tend to agree. We’ll accept a junk pick, he’ll be in the AA40 next year. Is what it is. All in the name of the AFL’s sports entertainment ethos

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Dodo would never trade out any half-reasonable player unless they demanded it (even then he sometimes wouldn’t).

We finally go to do it with a player and not a single club in the league wants him at any price
