Jake Stringer has met with Giants officials as they consider whether to take on the talented 30-year-old, who would need to be offered at least a two-year deal to make relocating from Melbourne viable.
Greater Western Sydney will have to stump up a multi-year offer to secure contracted Bombers forward Jake Stringer despite looming as the only realistic suitor for the veteran goalkicker.
Bombers list management boss Matt Rosa said tenure has been discussed along the way but they would not budge.GWS list boss Jason McCartney has a good record of obtaining talented players who may be undervalued at other clubs as they look to land the Giants’ maiden premiership. They have not been shy in recruiting players and backing their culture to get the best out of them, with Steve Johnson and Shane Mumford among a number of players who have had good careers with the NSW club.
“I’ll be brutally honest – there have been some preliminary chats a few weeks ago with his management . Whether that progresses any further or not, you’re always looking at any way you can improve your list.” Another GWS player, Conor Stone, pick No.15 in the 2020 draft, is on Essendon’s radar in a potentially related situation as he considers whether there will be greater opportunity for him at the Giants now that Isaac Cumming,Stone would help fill retired ex-captain Dyson Heppell’s void at the Bombers.
The negotiations with Port Adelaide for Dan Houston continued to centre on clubs securing the Gold Coast’s available pick 13, which the club is willing to trade to secure points to match any bidsCarlton are pushing hard to secure picks for Houston, who has not officially nominated a team he would like to be traded to but had strong early interest in joining the Blues.
