Disappointed we didn't match. Damn I hate you guys.

Anyway I've know Irv (not well though) since he moved to Gippsland at 12. We are friends with his guardians. And yes he was & obviously would still be an Essendon supporter.
All the best to young Irv, a rippa young fella. I hope he can forge a solid AFL career after completing year 12 next year which would be fitting given how much he has been through just to get this far.

Off field issues?

Off field issues?

No absolutely not.

From Halls Creek remote WA. His parents made the tough decision to send him to Vic primarily for schooling opportunities and also for footy at 12 years of age.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Just look at that face

Going to a cheeky campaigner buzzing around the fwd line and annoying the oposistion

 

[HeHateMe]

Question, will he live from home and finish year 12 while training remotely or on and off with the club?

Then move into full time season 2020 after he finishes year 12.

Cool and please don't get me wrong I wasn't insinuating any.
It's just I had read post by someone on your Hawks board that stated he had some but there was no real clarification as to what they were.

Great name. Sounds like an exciting prospect too. I think I see a player sponsorship in his future.

 

[Gold Member]

I've just been told Irv hasn't stopped giggling since his name was read out. Must be over the moon.

 

[Gold Member]

What a dilemma. Now I can't hate absolutely everything about Essendon.

 

[vast]

Welcome and good luck

Yet our dislike for your club runs rampant as per the norm. Everything's coming up Bombers!

They’ll probably house him with Nathan Lovett-Murray

Just watching his highlights vids

Surely he gets games next year has too much skill to be playing VFL could have the same impact when Walla burst on the scene.

Walla burst onto the scene as a 23 yo.

True still hope he gets a game early tho.

 

[Bombermania]

Those strengths seem to overwhelm the areas for improvement, particularly his chasing and 15 kicks a game would put him on level with Stringer's kind of output so that is okay.

True still hope he gets a game early tho.

If he's finishing year 12, they may let him focus on that year 1

without profiling it sounds a path previously trodden by Tippa, went the hard way and we love him for it

Considering some of the disgusting s**t you've posted over your time I'm sure you'll find a way.

Best name in all of footy. Would have loved him with us but Essendon have a great indigenous support network.

If his feet don't light the game up his smile will.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Wait, what?! Awesome!!! I thoughts he was tied to Hawthorne!

 

[emblurr]

Thank you Hawthorn for the valuable training and mentoring they have given him this year. Thank you also for Burtoning him at the last moment and letting us have him.

 

[owen87]

Amazing how quick he went from the next Cyril to some spud that they didn't want anyway, and Hawthorne have trolled us by not matching.

Would have preferred a good inside mid prospect if available, but we do lack small FWD depth so a young kid with some talent is well within the realms of what we need.

“Not sure what they were thinking” re Hawthorn

28 pages on the Hawthorn board dating back to Jan 2017. Second time in 3 months Hawks supporters obsessed over an Essendon player.
