Scores three in loss
Stringer scored three goals and one behind to go with 25 disposals (14 kicks, 11 handballs) from Friday's 98-57 loss to Geelong in Round 16.
ANALYSIS
Stringer is another Bomber in top form as he's scored eight goals and scored at least 97 fantasy points in three straight games. Given his high level of involvement in possession as well, Stringer offers excellent value from someone who's usually more focused on scoring goals than getting touches.

Runs show in win
Stringer scored four goals and one behind to go with 29 disposals (17 kicks, 12 handballs) and made seven tackles during Sunday's 86-73 win over Hawthorn in Round 14.
ANALYSIS
Stringer took over the game from start to finish as other stars like Darcy Parish didn't have as much influence against the Hawks. For the most part, Stringer hasn't even come close to the possession or ball-winning numbers that he did in this game, so his value going forward will be heavily determined by how he's used after this.

Could face Eagles
Stringer (hamstring) is listed as a test ahead of Round 11 against West Coast, according to Head of high performance Sean Murphy.
ANALYSIS
Stringer will play if he gets through training before a long flight west and make a quick return after missing over two weeks with a hamstring injury. He's already scored 12 goals and seven behinds in six games this season.

Out three-four weeks
Stringer (hamstring) is expected to miss three to four weeks with a hamstring injury, according to GM Josh Mahoney.
ANALYSIS
Stringer subbed out early in the Round 8 game against GWS and this news is a good indicator of how long he'll be out. Though not one to put up huge numbers, Stringer was a reliable pickup who scored between 77 and 87 fantasy points in all but one of his first five appearances this season.
