faaaaarrrr don't tag him back in

faaaaarrrr don't tag him back in

Doesn't matter. He can't reply.

 

[Nifft]

So if we do tag Dan he'll just be...

Is he called ‘buckets’ because they use a bucket to hold all the fluid they drain out of his knee?

Because he's so good at intercepting that it's like he's got two buckets for hands

 

[Beerfish]

I just assumed it's a drug reference

 

[Lore]

I just assumed it's a drug reference

That would make more sense if he had acquired it since joining Essendon

 

[carnthedons]

Can me and all my friends come back for cones?

You gotta cough to get off

 

[Beerfish]

Can me and all my friends come back for cones?

Are you in the ACT?

 

[Nifft]

That would make more sense if he had acquired it since joining Essendon

And was just leaving for St Kilda...

 

[carnthedons]

Are you in the ACT?

Niche Frenzal Rhomb reference, apologies

That's gold!

 

[Happyskeret]

Hopefully his knee problem is not too serious. I wonder if this was the same problem clubs were concerned about before he got traded?

good share

• supporting Essendon as a kid and now playing for the club, its nice, but not a big factor when deciding to leave North
• delayed the process as much as a I could, but had to start taking meetings with 2-3 rounds left in the season
• playing in a backline alongside similar aged and top quality guys like Ridley, McGrath and Redman was important
• favourite essendon memory - Zaka '09 ANZAC Day
• liked carlisle daniher hird lloyd fletcher is kids growing up
• relieved he was overseas when his official decision went public

a lot of people on here love Koby Bewick as a kid, nothing wrong with being really into juniors.

If it makes you feel better, McKay was in prep at the same time Alessio retired.

McKay turned 18 after Carlisle’s Essendon career ended if you can believe that.

Not by much Same draft as Parish, Francis and Gresham so would’ve been a month or two I think? December birthday?
