LETS GO DUKE NUKEM!!!

 

[Roger Rogerson]

They already have him 44 #TheRat

Will be so good to see the no. 44 back out there again.

 

[toomanysquibs]

Holy crap this is exciting, straight from the clouds into the number 44 vs. the $wans...

Hope he plays like he can, and steps up into the new level the way he stepped up into the last level.

Incredible story if he makes it. Also, has Conan the Barbarian's calf muscles.

Makes his run and spread even more impressive.

Go The Duke!

 

[Pessimistic]

Double yay!

3……2…..1…..Cornes whining…beautiful music

They should drop Jai into the SCG pre-game via helicopter.

 

[Pessimistic]

Personally I think we need more hype…just kidding. ^^^^^edit^^^^^^ are we psychic?

LETS GO DUKE NUKEM!!!

Hail to the king, baby

 

[lyger]

Jai doesn’t seem the type to get overawed by the occasion. Hope he starts on the ground and really charges in with an intent.

 

[MrPremiership]

Hope they give him proper midfield role and time on ground

 

[Hodginator]

I hope he hasn’t been instructed to stick to our game plan of handballing sideways and kicking high bombs to our forwards. Would be good to just seen him play footy.

 

[Beandip]

Obviously temper expectations...

**** that! - I'm genuinely excited, don't really care how he performs, just sends all the right signals as a club to give this country brick shithouse a run! Who'd have thought I could be this excited when we're 17th...

Best of luck young man, you'll have me cheering!

 

[TheFourPillars]

He plays the same game plan at Box Hill. So whatever he was doing at box hill will be fine

Just kick the bloody thing, Newcombe! Awwwww, who was that to???

 

[mknaven]

Clarko said our boys in this draft are plug and play. By the sounds of it you have not seen a boxhill game in 2021. Jai plays against swans, let get on there nerves before the ball is even bounced.

Correct, I haven't seen any box hill games just his highlights pkg, so i'm looking fwd to actually watching him play! Good to see he's debuting straight away, hopefully not as the sub.

 

[Dewnior]

Don't be jealous folks, but I'm gonna see his debut live

A little write up after the game, please.

 

[Dewnior]

A little write up after the game, please.

It's not a Box Hill game. You can watch it on the tellie.

First bounce in the centre square

 

[Judd2Sewell]

I hope he comes out on debut with the same intent Jones (for Port) did. He was out there flying around looking to put someone into next week.

 

[Turly]

First bounce in the centre square

Surely he does.

 

[lyger]

I know that it will be on the TV. What I meant was that you get a different perspective watching at the ground so would be nice to hear your thoughts on how Jai went. Anyway it was a tongue in cheek, sorry if it came across differently.

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

Does he even know the gameplan? Or is Box Hill's gameplan the same.
Imagine him streaming through the centre looking upfield for a leading forward and then ............he sees them all stagnant waiving their arms to kick it the pack. He'd be thinking .....WT

He will then utter to himself ‘F this’ and take it upon himself and bawk around a couple players and newk it from the arc. Yes!

Hope you didn't just give him the substitute curse
