Just getting in early before we have the official photo of the brick shithouse himself.

Welcome aboard Alec!

Good get.

 

[Don Won]

Sweet. Now to move him to a back pocket.

Sweet. Now to move him to a back pocket.

I'm just kidding.

But seriously.

 

[fairbump_playon]

Well well well.

Very accurate long kick. A former midfielder - so should have some class with the ball on the deck.

Though... can be easy to kick 4 if you nab a couple of frees.... will it be a flash in the pan? Or is he the keg we need?

Not much harm in adding him I reckon. Good luck young unit. May you run through the unsuspecting.

Personally I hope he runs through Saad.

Personally I hope he runs through Saad.

If anyone from Essendon ever allows Saad to step and get onto his left I will break the telly.

After a few years of close observation everyone at Essendon knows he wants to do it / must do it. I feel like knowing it leaves him open to a big crrrunch.

 

[blitzer]

No idea if he will just be a flash in the pan or a player who ends up playing 100+ games for us. If he turns out to be the latter he'll be great value because we really need a quality medium forward type.

But it sounds like he hasn't put a foot wrong so far in his time at Essendon. Can't really ask for more than that when it comes to giving a guy a shot.

Good signing

 

[JT_the_Man]

Round 1 please.

 

[rumply]

dual threat with Stringer (if he can get right), they should complement each other well.

 

[11kgm]

an upgrade on Begley

let's hope he can play 100 games so we can get father sons

With Harry Jones roaming the arc... me likey.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Slight upgrade on Townsend

Slight upgrade on Townsend

He's 3 years younger but with less Premierships

Can he nail one rib-breaking tackle a game though? That is the real question.

 

[Duckworth]

He is a unit. If he tackled you, you'd be got. I think he can manage 1 tackle a game.... you know part of me wouldn't mind if it was late either.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

I have a good feeling about Alec.

 

[Shanghaistu]

Good move signing him now. Now he has a chance to play a more natural game on Saturday with the freedom of knowing he’s signed on already and doesn’t have to ‘impress’

 

[ghostdog]

Sweet. Now to move him to a back pocket.

Oh man. Don't joke!

 

[ghostdog]

Welcome to Essendon, A-Dub.
Don't worry about the doubters. They don't know s***.

 

[bennyg12]

Where does it say we signed him?

 

[boncer34]

Where does it say we signed him?

Nowhere officially but media is running with it

 

[Megabattimus]

Me waiting for his signing to be announced:
