Jesse STRINGER

2014 Digest:   Facing a crunch year. Has shown glimpses over the past few seasons but hasn’t yet put it all together. Highly skilled on both sides, the South Australian needs a big NAB Challenge but didn’t get off to a great start when he suffered hamstring tightness in the warm-up against Collingwood.

2014 NAB Cup:   Injured hamstring in warm up against Collingwood and that has put him behind. Has to work through VFL
