"He (Stringer) is not happy with the Bulldogs, the Bulldogs are not happy with him. Both parties are now, we believe, prepared to explore and test the market on him,โ Barrett said onย The Footy Show.
โOther footy clubs are aware of this situation, they are now ready and getting prepared to offer some serious deals to Jake Stringer.
"Contractually he is a Bulldog for 2018 but he has not been happy for some time and is now contemplating a future away from the Bulldogs.

Stringer enjoyed a break out season in 2015, kicking 56 goals and averaging 14 disposals as he earned for maiden All Australian guernsey. However, despite winning the premiership with the club last season, he was unable to replicate his 2015 form, while his form has also been patchy this season, where he has kicked 24 goals in 16 matches, his lowest return since 2013.
