Bugs1977 you’re right.
Some people may not know that in 2016, when Jaeger came back from a debilitating knee injury in the NEAFL, Coniglio flew up to the GC to watch him play a half of footy.
When Jaeger went through a rough trot in his first year at Hawthorn Coniglio sat in the stands at Windy Hill and watched JOM make his return from injury once more.
When Coniglio did his knee early in the Richmond game JOM made his way to the ground, found his way into the rooms and chaperoned him to the hospital that night.
I'm surprised by the lack of focus the AFL media have given to the connection Coniglio and Jaeger have(and Patton too). There's more photos of these two together on instagram than with their actual partners.
We now all know about their business ventures together thanks to 3aw last night.
Here's an article from last year where Coniglio talks about dealing with injury and details his strong friendship with JOM.
