Could Jake Stringer be without an AFL club after the trade period?

Liam Pickering 0:00

We haven't touched too much on this, and uh it'll probably gear up a little bit later. But you know, the Jake Stringer situation, I mentioned Toby Green and Jesse Hogan. Jake Stringer was their most powerful forward. Yeah,

Cam Luke 0:11

you kicked 50 goals, didn't you? Yeah,

Liam Pickering 0:12

he's not there, just under. He's not there this year as well. But right now, he doesn't have a home. Would you be surprised if we got to the end of the trade period and Jake Stringer was no longer an AFL player?

Cam Luke 0:22

Yep. Oh, I wouldn't be surprised. Oh you wouldn't be surprised. I wouldn't be surprised. Okay. So I think he's more likely to be picked up As an SSP.

Liam Pickering 0:30

Yeah, okay.

Cam Luke 0:30

Yeah, where they leave 'cause a lot of clubs leaving a list put up.

Liam Pickering 0:33

Okay, so I'll change the question.

Can Jake Stringer earn a list spot through the SSP?

Liam Pickering 0:34

Will Jake Stringer be on a list next year?

Cam Luke 0:36

I think he will. Yeah, I think he will. I think he'll he'll have to do it the hard way. Mm. And he's gonna have to go back to the basic money,

Liam Pickering 0:43

mm,

Cam Luke 0:43

which he's never had. He's always been on good coin. Mm.

Liam Pickering 0:46

And so he should. Yeah.

Cam Luke 0:48

Yeah, he's been up and down. He's up and down like a go here. But

Why might clubs wait until after the draft to sign Jake Stringer?

Cam Luke 0:51

I I think he's more likely to get through trade period, get through the draft, see who's kept list spots. See what they're looking for, see what injuries occur over summer. We always know that we know there's always heaps.

Liam Pickering 1:03

Yeah.

Cam Luke 1:03

And then the ones with the list spot or who want to open a list spot up for February uh for the SSP, uh, that's where I think he'll he'll fit. Mm. I don't think anyone's trading for him.

Liam Pickering 1:13

No, and and that's that's fair enough. No one

Cam Luke 1:15

will take him in the national draft.

Liam Pickering 1:16

No, no. No, but you don't need to.

Cam Luke 1:18

No, that's what I mean. Well you don't need to if if you've got a club saying Yeah, we will take you as an SSP, but we need you to come down and do a month training with us, get to know our system. Show us you're fair to kick.

How unusual is it for a near-50-goal forward to be left without a club?

Cam Luke 1:27

I wonder

Liam Pickering 1:27

what the record is for goals kicked in a season and then being without a club as we get closer. No, I

Cam Luke 1:33

reckon there's there's been a few good players have had good seasons that all of a sudden have found themselves off off contract and not picked up. It's been a few over the years.

Liam Pickering 1:41

Give me something.

Cam Luke 1:41

Don't ask me numbers, I'm sorry. There has been Like

Liam Pickering 1:44

I mean, I'm not saying it hasn't happened, but as you said, he nearly kicked fifty goals.

Cam Luke 1:48

Mm.

Liam Pickering 1:48

And he he he's he's the type of player that's a good thing. It just

Cam Luke 1:55

can't be on field. No,

Liam Pickering 1:55

it can't be because if it's if it was on field, he would have got a couple who would be getting a lot more extra.

Which Melbourne AFL clubs could be a landing spot for Jake Stringer?

Liam Pickering 2:01

He wants to come back to Melbourne, obviously. So there's there's you know, there's a little bit of complication with the ten

Cam Luke 2:06

clubs here and there's probably three or four f that fit. Like he fits it. He fits at Richmond, clearly. He does, but he fits at St Kilda. He absolutely fits at St Kilda. I think he fits at Collingwood.

Liam Pickering 2:18

Yeah. Yeah, I I could the

Cam Luke 2:20

blues do with a half forward like that? Maybe. I if I'm Sin Kilda. They're gonna have a Marty and and Harry.

Liam Pickering 2:31

If you go and if you're seeing Kilda

Why could St Kilda take a low-cost chance on Jake Stringer?

Liam Pickering 2:33

And you can't you like you can't give money to a Ford 'cause you've already got one, albeit he hasn't been able to get on the field that often. But

Cam Luke 2:40

that's the thing, you can't

Liam Pickering 2:41

You can't trust his body either. No, you can't. So d you may as well just try and 'cause you're paying him minimum chips.

Cam Luke 2:47

You've just got to have the list spot. But you've got to have the list spot. Oh, I think there will be a list spot for him somewhere.

Liam Pickering 2:52

I'm with you.

Cam Luke 2:54

And it it's more likely going to be a team that's somewhere around the mark.

Liam Pickering 2:57

Well I

Would Jake Stringer consider Richmond or another club on a minimum contract?

Liam Pickering 2:58

I would I would I'd be interested to know if he was keen. To go to a club. Like so Richmond as you touched on. Would you would you want to go to a Richmond?

Cam Luke 3:07

He would if they paid him probably.

Liam Pickering 3:08

Yeah, well probably, but I don't think he's gonna command big dollars. No, not if he's not

Cam Luke 3:12

if he's SSP he won't. Yeah, but

Liam Pickering 3:13

Cam Luke 3:14

mean he'll just be on the minimum chips.

Liam Pickering 3:15

I'm with you. I I think that he will end up on a list. But you're right, it uh well said, it's probably gonna take a little while. It's a trade feed for Trojan Tools. Trojan tools built tough, available at Puttingsbury House and ME G T.
