TV guy: “THE HYPE AROUND NEW RECRUIT JAKE STRINGER AT ESSENDON CONTINUES”
producer in ear: “woah! dude! stop yelling! just be cool.”
tv guy: “with an extended mid field role on the cards.
producer: “better”

 

[Blind Turn]

Can he torp it on the run from 70meters out??

No, but by all accounts he has a real talent for tripping.

 

[AcuteWhistle]

January needs to hurry up already.

I am ****in peaking off chops for this footy season.

I am ****in peaking off chops for this footy season.

Hawks game last year was the best hoping for the same thing against the Crows.

 

[Mercurial89]

Crows didnt come back in best condition so hopefully we can get the jump on a team that many expect to be challenging this year.

 

[Keystone agony]

Crows didnt come back in best condition so hopefully we can get the jump on a team that many expect to be challenging this year.

I love playing top sides early. Not only was there talk some crows came back in poor condition theyve already had many less weeks than us. At etihad gives us every chance as the crows still look to fill the void left by Lever and Brodie Smith down back

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

If we can beat the Crows and Tigers during the season i give us a chance to win the flag.

 

[Beerfish]

That's nice.

 

[BrewSmackerVeiny]

That's nice.

You're not.

 

[Howard Moon]

every now and then ill be doing something at home, or be walking along the street or something... and ill just think of Essendon, then I remember we got stringer and devon and saad and I just smile

still cant believe we actually did something and we got quality additions, so unlike us really!

 

[Beerfish]

You're not.

Get ****ed campaigner. I'm plenty nice.

Type of trades that Hawks got done when they were winning flags.

Forgot Clarke and Mutch in the VFL

Type of trades that Hawks got done when they were winning flags.

Let's just wait to see how they all go first... they could be Brian Lake or Tyrone Vickery at this stage.

 

[Vindicater]

Except Vickery was not a trade.

 

[Knighta21]

And Lake won a norm smith medal?

 

[eth-dog]

And Lake won a norm smith medal?

That's the point.

 

[Knighta21]

That's the point.

Ahh I thought they were trying to say they were both busts, my bad.

 

[faible]

Except Vickery was not a trade.

And Lake won a norm smith medal?

That's the point.

That pretty much covers it; was less about the details of how the players arrived than it was the outcome - one was a premiership hero, the other was a potato.

 

[Sporno 4 Pyros]

I heard Stringer was in rehab on Friday...anyone know why??

 

[Old Campaigner]

I heard Stringer was in rehab on Friday...anyone know why??

Probably for help with the gambling
