Fair enough, I just love Roughie

I'm really sad he's not still around the club. Clearly his unconscious still feels the same way.

I imagine relationships will be repaired for the first premiership reunion he attends

Some sad news for Liam Jones with his mother passing away suddenly. He'll miss the trip to Perth.

Yep, I feel for him. Losing a parent is hard. I know I lost my dad a couple of years ago and even though we knew it was coming and had plenty of time to say goodbye and get used to the idea it still knocked me around more than I wanted to admit it at the time.

His team mates will also miss the tip to Perth.

Condolences to Liam and his family and friends.

Stringer has been on media street the last week or so.

Damn he is a good footballer.

Saw a little bit of the last quarter last night, Higgins is the gun footballer we hoped he would be too.

We knew both were guns but Higgins was injury prone and Stringer wasn’t fully committed, a gamble with Higgins but not so much stringer as we couldn’t afford to have that disruption if you want a good culture.

Yes he was definitely the difference-maker against ... the Gold Coast Suns.

If nothing else he's certainly got his vein-popping celly down pat if he ever kicks the sealer in a granny.

Stringer is slowly on the improve. He does seem to be popping up and having his moments more often now. But I also agree that the quality of opposition has generally been poor. Because of his history and the kind of x factor he has he will always be pumped up by the sympathetic Essendon media cheerleaders. They will turn to water come finals, and I believe despite recent recruitments lack the midfield grunt to ever be a contender.

Stringer is just a good ordinary footballer.

Tend to agree, looks like he is capable of anything and he is but it’s not consistent and very lazy at times.

Re: Following our ex's...................

The media will do what it can to pump him up, it can't help itself.

He is playing more consistently but still he just doesn't seem to work hard enough to get the football or be involved (having said that I don't know how deep he is playing - because I hate watching EFC) and given all the buzz is around his fitness and additional midfield minutes his disposal numbers are a bit light on.

Here's a really good comparison between he and Sam Lloyd:

Stringer has him for tackles, Lloyd has Stringer for possessions and efficiency. I wonder what the output would look like if they swapped clubs.

Re: Following our ex's...................

A friends 6ish year old daughter got to run out with the GWS team today. She was paired up with a not very well known eker called Sam Reid.

Apparently he is a really great guy and went above and beyond to make it a really memorable experience for her. He is now her favourite plater.

Wouldn’t it have been great if we were able to poach him back with his mate Callan.
