Certified Legendary Thread Sympathy for *essendon III - 4 Sept 2025 marks 21 years since *Essendon have won a final; Coached by the anti “RESULTIST”, RIP D2D and T_S

Think Footywire has this one wrong, on the wireless it was stated he wants to get another 12 month deal.
Then look at moving into coaching.

This would be the second thing that that website has led me astray on in as many weeks.

Will need to stop using it as a source.

He signed a 2 year deal in 2023.

Happy 10 year anniversary


Come to think of it now, it does feel like 10 years ago.
What a night. What a fortnight.

Sydney is reported to the frontrunner if a Stringer trade plays out.
In an interview with the Herald Sun in May, Stringer said he began exploring Islam when he met a Muslim man at a sponsor’s barbecue in December last year.
The man invited Stringer to attend a mosque in Sunshine.
“I talk to him every day and see him most days since then,” Stringer said of the relationship.

was advised to not bring bikie underworld figure Toby Mitchell into the rooms after Mitchell was seen in the inner sanctum after the club’s round 20 win against the Brisbane Lions.
It prompted the Tigers to tell King the association was unacceptable.
Then-AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou said King’s decision to invite Mitchell into the club’s rooms was “pretty stupid” and, separately, raised concerns about undesirable people
potentially “infiltrating” the code.
King tested Richmond’s patience when he was seen twice in public with the former bikie enforcer in the ensuing months.
Outgoing Tigers chief executive Brendon Gale conceded the club could not specifically ban King from associating with Mitchell.
“We’ve brought it to Jake’s attention that he should think long and hard about those sorts of friendships and connections and associations,’’ Gale said.

How bizarre. I guess it’s * and stringer though.

That was an awesome tweet by Dani.

Also as a side note interesting how Dani doesn't have any feelings for Wet Toast either considering a good chunk of her life was spent there

Saw Dani at the ground when we beat WCE last year. Seemed to have enjoyed the north win.

Stringer and Hind grew up together in Maryborough. Bit of a rough, battler town but not really known as a biker stronghold.
Interesting

Also fwiw I know a relative of Hind and Nick wasn't a fan of Bard at all. To the point of genuine personal dislike

Dunno.

Hind did spend some time growing up in Clunes where the bikies turned up in 1979 during the shooting of the Mad Max film.

Could that be the connection?

His family used to run the pub in Clunes and they stepped back in temporarily, after the current owner's daughter was murdered.

He and Stringer don't really fit the look and temperament of those who normally hang out with bikies. More of a Dusty/Jake King thing.
It's interesting

 

[ferball]

Where did the biker thing come from?

The article refers to them hanging out with Muslims and going to a mosque in Sunshine. The implication is they're jihadis. But the reality is * has had good Muslim players and they moved on quickly to become guns at other clubs.

Maybe they needs Sheeds to discover Muhammad and make it all okay.

One of the regulars in that pub openly offered to sell me coke at the bar lol.

They aren't saying anything. Its all the implications that aren't said that I find annoying.

Stringer was a PoS and if people have helped him become a better person then good on them whatever their background.
