It worked but try this one to get around the paywall

Really nicely written article by Tony Armstrong, really insightful for players finishing up their careers (it sounds like that is what Tony will be doing). Wish him well in the future and good to hear that Eddie was helping him out a little.

I thought you just entered The Block, let your missus boss you around and slag off your former employers?

Probably one of the few that liked the guy. Not for what he brought on the field but still see him as the guy that never never sooked or spit the dummy AND played two matches on 1 day .

Hopefully I can see your accurate passing again one day

Not as good as the Tony Armstrong kids kicking clinic thread but still a beauty...

Channel 7 Reporting that Essendon have approached Tony Armstrong and 3 others as Top up players.

Sam Grimley, Aiden Riley and Daneil Markworth the other 3.

I am going to miss Tony not playing VFL for us this year and not a fan of the thought of him in Red and Black.

They could do a lot worse than Armstrong, but think harder bodies to protect the kids would be a better fit.

Yep - he is soft as butter and all you see is little Chip Kicks

A bit harsh TD, how about being happy for the guy that he may get to extend his AFL career a bit longer? He always gave it his all for the black and white

Well I am glad he might Extended his Career as he won't make the Peptide Bummers any Better

If I was Essendon I'd sign Sam Dwyer.

Great team man as well which i think in the current situation will be important for such a young team

That would be a Good Get as he only got De-Listed as we are playing the Kids

Agree - Seems a Top Bloke

He's as cool as a cat with almost as many lives

Good to see you mate. Give 'em hell.

I can only wish him well and good luck at the Bombers

 

[AmellyPies]

I met Tony a few times at trainings and had a chat with him once, He's great. His passion for life and helping futures of young Indigenous kids is awesome.

Didn't do that much wrong at senior level, Got way to much hate.

Hope he gets picked up and plays for Bombers. Good luck Tonay.

He had no Weapons to become a AFL Player. Great Bloke but Does not make him a AFL Footballer

He played AFL football. He was an AFL player. Could still be if he's picked up.

 

[pablo disco bar]

Good luck too him i say

I met Tony last year and he is a cracking bloke. Reckon he would be better off staying away from Essendon though. If they do recruit him I hope he goes well.

I would be really pleased for Tony if he got picked up. He doesn't have many fans on this board as a footballer but everyone should be a fan of him as a person. I'm sure all at the club would be chuffed for him if he got another chance. As a club in crisis Tony is the type of character Essendon needs around their young kids in 2016.
