Outgoing GWS forward Jake Stringer is keen to move to a fourth club, and his manager, Robbie D'Orazio of CDG Sports Management, said he "knows one club who would really benefit from having him on their list".
Stringer all but confirmed his departure from the Giants after Saturday's clash against Adelaide, saying he's keen to return to Victoria after two seasons in the neighbouring state.
The mercurial forward has been linked to Collingwood, who are clearly in the win-now category, with an experienced list and their desire to land fellow free agents Zak Butters and Lachie Neale.
“When you trade someone three times, and you are going for a fourth, I think you have earned your cabbage (commission),” D'Orazio said on the Trade Secrets podcast.
”Jake's obviously playing great footy and, like always, you'll back him in until you're told otherwise (at GWS). So I think there's still room for a Jake Stringer in anyone's list. He's probably competing at the moment at the top end.
“I personally would go and have a look at him in a team that can get the ball inside 50. I know on numerous occasions he has just made things happen pretty miraculously. I know one club who would really benefit from having him on their list.”
Stringer has previously spent time with the Western Bulldogs and Essendon, so he is no stranger to a big crowd at the MCG, which D'Orazio believes suits his "scallywag" style.
“I think he'd be awesome at the MCG in front of 80,000 supporters that would actually get around him – he's got a bit of scallywag about him and does things Jakey's way, but he's not ready to finish, and I think if a club did take him, I think he would kick 40 to 50 goals. He might have three (years left in him),” D'Orazio added.
“He's a pretty honest player, Jake. He is straight up in terms of how his performance is going, and he even sent me some texts the other day about some stats (about his defensive pursuits). I think Jake has still got a bit of footy left in him.”
Stringer has kicked 42 goals, which is his second-highest return throughout his career.
