My cousin’s surname is Androulakis. I did everything I could to get him to name his newborn Orazio Androulakis. Imagine BT calling that in 2035? WOWEE!!

Every night.

You inspired me. This was when I realised he was special.

I actually remember sitting there behind the goals thinking this kid is really good.

Favourite Jamar moment was when he took on an entire vfl team in the goal square at windy Hill and won.

Mark Jamar might well be the most popular 5 game player we’ve ever had

Always knew Raz would never leave Essendon…He’s a Bomber for life

Full season for Raz and Joey next year will make a massive difference

Fantastic! So important to us going forward. Love how the guys are talking about how tight the group is. So much to look forward to (regardless of what happens this year)

That is awesome news. Best news all day

honestly until the announcement that he re signed I had completely forgotten that he was out of contract.

he wasnt. he had a year to go. he just added an extra 2 years on.

well there you go

He won us a VFL final against Geelong, IIRC.

Plokinghorne kicked four goals, Franga tackle and dobbed the goal from 50, that one…

We couldn’t have won the game without Jamar in the ruck. I remember telling him he played a blinder. He was smiling from ear to ear.

I’m guessing the club were anxious to sign him up to stop the Adelaide clubs circling?

Few salty Crows fans over at big footy haha

Yep. I’m pretty sure they were convinced he was theirs for the picking.
