Rival AFL clubs have warned that Essendon X-factor player Jake Stringer is not the full package he once appeared to be. The enigmatic goalkicker was famously described by Channel 7 commentator Brian Taylor as having “the full package” of traits to complete a prototype hybrid AFL star, for which he earned his nickname, The Package.
Clubs raise concerns over Jake Stringer. But while his offensive game is rarely questioned — albeit at times it can be inconsistent — it’s his defensive traits that have come under the microscope from potential suitors. Stringer has had a 2025 contract trigger from Essendon on the table for some time now, but has reached an impasse with the club, who have refused to bend to his request for an extra year on the deal.
