I can forgive Jake Stringer for his past indiscretions however will never forgive him for that haircut. Seriously, that should be an offence.

All class, a perfect fit for the Bombers!

Notice how the media is again all over the Bombers with good news stories. Also the Tigers.  

You wonder "who pays the Piper."

EFC: welcome to Essendon, Jake. We do things a little differently here. Get these ... er ... "dietary supplements" into you.

Jake: duh .... supper? suppel ... duh ... what for I eat dial supper?

EFC: don't worry about the details, mate. It'll put hair on your chest.

Jake: duh ... okay

Man.    I thought that tattoo was the worst thing I'd ever seen,  only to scroll down and see the haircut.....

Hes off the rails.

Nothing article. I say good luck to the guy - he was a decent player and, I think, a decent person.

GetSwift’s corporate governance perhaps needs to improve, but there doesn’t seem to be any suggestion of impropriety here.

But then again...

Hmmm - doesn't look very good (on the face of it).

Poor old Joel, down to his last $40 million!

It's uncanny how companies with phantom clients and phantom income end up getting into strife.

I read Joel McDonald’s player profile one year in a footy record where he said his idol was Jordan Belfort.

With $300 mio in class action lawsuits on the way , he is personally liable as a director.  May face hefty fines and disqulification, or even jail.

Even better reason to bugger off to an island - preferably one without extradition treaties.

Back in the news again. Joel Mac and Gutnick are both very creative.

Grimes is a hack. 

Sorry but I'm still bitter about us recruiting Joel MacDonald over Dylan Grimes. Just cannot get over it. Add that to Paul Roos saying that Toby Green & Shaun Higgins were available to us for loose change a few years ago - what might have been !!???

Had a chat with Barry Prendergast about Grimes.  Was never in consideration for us to draft him.  Not talented enough to make it in the AFL.

Some positive news for Joel's company Getswift (from the Age 22/5/2020: 
https://www.theage.com.au/business/companies/former-afl-player-s-getswift-makes-comeback-with-revenue-boost-20200513-p54sfp.htm

"The gyrations of Australia's tech stocks over recent months has hidden a remarkable comeback by one of its former darlings, last-mile logistics provider Getswift.

The stock has soared to a multi-year high of 90¢ this month. This is the highest it has traded since the disastrous share price crash in February 2018 which followed the company's confirmation that fewer than half the contracts it had been publicising were actually generating any revenue.

The 500 per cent gain since May last year represents a remarkable comeback for the company which was started by former AFL footballer Joel Macdonald to work out the best routes for his booze delivery service...."

 

[Moonshadow 17,676]

Needs to show that they have legitimate contracts and revenue. Have some cash reserves, bit still yet to nail it's core business, which is last mile delivery logistics for businesses like food and beverage, such as Pizza Hut 

Given the COVID-caused explosion of home delivery in every Western country, I'm suprised Getswift aren't thriving and are only showing moderate success.
