Yeah… odd article in so many ways. Am guessing we’ll hear more over the next few days.

Warning over an “associate” - inferred as dodgy but really… give us something!

Muslim friend mentioned at length in same but not expressly linked as the “associate”.

It’s like when the news doesn’t racially profile a criminal but shows blurred people in front of a mosque.

Didn't Hind make comments about this guy in a Roaming Brian / post-game segment?

Oh yeah I remember that. BT went up to Hind and some friends and started asking questions like how they know each other etc and Hind and the guy just suddenly seemed really reluctant to answer. It gave off real "go away, we don't want to be seen right now" vibes

 

[Rick Ross]

So the release of this information is pretty clear*. Pies are struggling for draft picks this year (traded away first), want to get Jake in for free & on low salary… now we’ll trade him for nothing and Jake will accept his “low” $400k to play for them.


*made up but I wouldn’t put it past them if Eddie was still there

Yeah/ nah

Would read

I'd wait for the movie.

white australia knows why he's "dodgy"

I thought Saad was Stringer's muslim friend. I'm happy to label him dodgy.

 

[ghostdog]

Maybe the shady associates should play for us.
Then we get some street cred on the field - and said associates will be allowed in the rooms.

I'm a big picture person. This is how we land Clayton.

"Like, this is who I get me 'charcoal chooks' off BT."

 

[Maxabillions]

I think Jake’s Muslim friend needs a defamation lawyer. Unfortunately Australia’s only one is busy at the moment.

 

[thepokey]

"Like, this is who I get me 'charcoal chooks' off BT."

Its kinda hard to spot I guess since the natural reaction to BT approaching you would be "go away", this just had extra "go away" vibes than usual

Pardon the intrusion. Nick’s a friendly country lad, but he’s not tied up in anything he shouldn’t be. The inference here from the media is that he and Stringer are questionable characters without specifying the company they keep.
Plenty of players have done far worse than invite some friends into the change rooms that has been swept under the carpet.
Stringer is an easy target, and the media are as gutless as ever. This genuinely reads as bigfooty article

 

[Call Me Cake]

The way I read that article is that Hind has some questionable associates (allegedly) and through his friendship to Stringer he would still be around in the rooms due to knowing Jake and thus the associates might come too.

The extra outdated info about Jake was pigeonholed in as if it's recent news to pad out the article.

They probably need to be careful what links they make or they might get sued.

 

[Petrify]

Yeah... rather suspicious interaction there. Video is on the EssendonFC subreddit, I can't link to reddit apparently.

Do you know Nick? Hind and his brothers have a very very very bad reputation in Ballarat and the surrounding areas.

Bye Jake. Bye Nick.

Can't even be friends with people in society anymore

This screams of 1984 thoughtcrime levels of hooplah

I do, very well.
I’ve not heard a bad word about Nick in or around Ballarat by anyone that knows him.
His brothers are harmless.

 

[FlyingV]

Get rid of him. Seriously this club is a mess.

I don’t think harmless people go to jail, I’ll probably leave it at that.
