But he is our barometer!
If true then I'm sad - despite what many said about Jake he if nothing else got the team into the right mindset to compete which let's face it... too often we struggle with.

Love the Jake! (Subtle Seinfeld reference...)

Give him a farewell game if he is fit (and even if he is not) v The Bummers.... - deserves a big stage!

Is he actually a life member?

No. Needs a 43 game world tour to get there.

Edit: Which ******* idiot said he was a life member?

 

[Joker91]

Very highly regarded inside the club, I hope we give him a role of some type next year.

And please have a send off game!
I haven't got drunk in 7 weeks but watching the push-up King for the last time at the MCG is a good enough excuse to have a beer or thirty.

[Roachy8]

Is he actually a life member?

Some say he is a country member.
