Or, are there are actually reports that could lead to a conclusion that he is a slow motion train wreck? If there are reports, what are they reports of? They certainly will not be reports of being late to training, or in relation to the split from his partner, as they hardly support your conclusion.

Of course, I do not expect a considered response from you, even on your second attempt.

Considered response to an outright sniper?
Hardly.

Considered response from you?
Anywhere?
Anytime?
Hardly.
At least you are predictable.

PS. I do have a rifle and I am a reasonable shot, so far as rabbits are concerned. On this board you make an easier target than a rabbit.

You really are one of a kind.
Thankfully they threw away the mould after you.

Wow, I just wanted someone to look at his highlights "package"

FMD!!!

Taylor Adams?

There's a big difference between someone who defends himself in a fight and someone who doesn't bother to put in at training.

Is there, though? There are plenty of Welfare players who went backwards this year - it isn't like he's Robinson Crusoe.

Is Paul Seedsman available?

Massive difference between a single off field incident and continued lack of commitment to training and poor behaviour - if we are to believe reports.

I don't believe you if you say there aren't massive alarms sounding over Stringer. From AA to Premiership, to being forced out at 23? It's almost unheard of. And it's not just one year. He was dropped just before the finals last year.

That said, he still played to or near Jessie White levels in 2017. If he turns things around he could be a good signing for any club. It's the likelihood of the if that needs to be assessed. With Boyd at the club we're in a good position to do that.

^^ thats it right there.

On that you'd say yes, just make Damon sure the contract is water tight in our favour if he doesn't have his act together. Gees, we took Maine, what do we have to lose on stringer!

Think he might get in Elliott's way, and our forward coaches are still too stupid to determine who attempts the pack marks and who stays for the crumbs...

Now that we have Boyd and Maxy's back, is that the leadership he needs ?

From what I hear, it would be a GAMBLE for anyone to take him....just saying.

According to the HS tonight. Stringer will not be pursued by Collingwood. Instead, Geelong and essendon will fight it out for him.

IF cool and moderate Bevo could not handle him, who can ???

No, they didn't.
You haven't dealt with my sons.
They are more like me than I am.

There must be a bit happening behind the scenes at Geelong. The Dogs are saying they at least want a top 20 pick for Stringer, and the Cats are after Ablett as well. Geelong don't have much in the way of high end selections so there will be players shopped around.

I heard Menzel to the Suns, and Motlop too the Pies, big rumour.
