A number of years ago, Parramatta Eels players were hanging around ethnic gangs. A photo of them having a succulent Chinese meal created enough heat that Junior Paulo left to go to Canberra. Thankfully he turned his life around, and the blow scene in Canberra must be dead, he retuned to the Eels as the premier prop.

The vibe in the Roaming BT video is eerily reminiscent of the Eels drama.

I have no doubt that the dons hierarchy will monitor and aggressively manage this.
I love that it's utterly impossible to refer to eating chinese food without that particular adjective
 
Are we not in the perfect position?

Offer 1 year, firm. Allow to chase 2 elsewhere.

If he has no nibbles we are vindicated that he's a one season contract player

If he finds 2, our fwd line gets its reset
You left out the scenario where he stays on the current arrangement, plays a blinder in 2025 and triggers a fresh contract in 2026 for our premiership tilt 😬
 
Is it true he was running laps at the hanger today?
nah it was a typo - he was running late at the hanger today… for his exit interview
 
Looks like the Pies not interested Collingwood rules out play for Essendon’s Jake Stringer

Yep. Well played I think.
An egg on face moment for Jake potentially, if he has told the playing group he has played his last game but now has to walk it back.
 
I pissed myself when I saw McRae’s comment today. Hes not going anywhere
Yeah, funny wording… he’s pretty happy about it apparently.

I'll admit, we looked at it, it came across our desk that Jake Stringer (could be gettable) … you have a look at the depth of it.

“But I'm happy to say here that when we won't be bringing Jake Stringer to that footy club.

“Not because of any or many reasons, but to the rumour that I want him, that’s a bit of a stretch.

“We did our research, and we did all things behind the scenes like where he fits on our list, the money, the tenure and whatever.

“But no, I'm happy to say he won't be coming to Collingwood next year.”
