Re: Stringer
Stringer is gifted, but The Bulldogs have issues with his preparation and personal life. Now issues in his personal life may be transient, but a lack of work ethic is a real worry.
Then if we did recruit him, one of him, Bruce, Membrey or McCartin would be playing for Sandy, as there wouldn't be room for all of them. Despite the risk, Is he exactly what we need? I think mids are our priority.

I reckon Stringer would be a terrific pick up. Well worth pursuing.

Longer overtook Hick this year... Plus we'd still have Marshall as a back up.

It is a high risk high reward situation.
Dusty was in a very similar position 3-4 years ago...shopped around and no one wanted him.
Just think if the opportunity came and we could get him without losing our first rounds picks the reward could be enourmous

Problem was that he didn't like to tackle and he liked sit ins. He also used to drink his own piss which put the trainers off.Con Gorozidis wrote:Gandhi.The Recruit wrote:TrueSaintPav wrote:If Dogs want to offload Stinger we should be wary.

Re: Stringer
That's exactly what I was thinking. Dusty couldn't find anyone interested a few years ago, now he has everyone falling over themselves to sign him. I think stringer could be the same. COULD.

Re: Stringer
I reckon he's worth a punt. High risk, but as long as we don't give up to much for him, he could become our Stevie J or Dusty, two certified corkheads who turned their careers around. Then again, he could become our next Bill Barrott or Andrew Lovett. I hate thinking like that. Too many years of disappointment has poisoned my mind. Still, I'll take a swig of Jiggster's medicinal compound and say "let's back ourselves in to fix him. Get him!"

Re: Stringer
Hmmmmmm? The Lovett trade has probably put me off "taking a punt" on someone like Stringer. When Essendon let Lovett come to us, I remember thinking to myself; why would a club like Essendon let a good player walk away like that. History shows that Lovett was "exited" by the bombers. I'm hearing WAY too many negatives about Stringer's attitude to want to see the Saints end up with egg on their (OUR) faces again. I say NO! ....... now pass me the medicinal compound!
