I will miss you, Jobe. You've been a champion for this club.

Now go and make the best coffees you can.

With cow's milk

 

[Highly Evolved]

Thank you Jobe. You are an absolute champion of the Club.

My kids keep popping up around corners with the Jobe mask on so I keep on seeing his smile, it is very unnerving!

 

[VelvetSledge]

That's about all I have to say on this man.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Going to New York in Feb.

Better be there mate, look forward to my gluten free, dairy free, vegan friendly, god hating, de constructed coffee

 

[Killer_Mike]

I miss him already.

 

[VelvetSledge]

I miss him already.

[HirdsTheWord]

Strong ass genes.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Even similar voices too.

Finishes as (I think) the most revered figure in Essendon history, and more importantly, with a massive smile on his dial.


Go well Jobe, you deserve at least a 10 year break from Melbourne

I don't know about revered. Definitely respected, or I'm not sure what the word for it is - but the player that we probably have felt more sympathy and appreciation for than any other.

not sure about that. Hird & Sheedy retiring together was a bit bigger of a deal.

That doesn't make them more revered though.

 

[yodellinhank]

That doesn't make them more revered though.

Jobe is the most revered figure in Essington history.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

might just be me but Hird was defiantly more "revered" than Jobe.

Not taking anything away from Jobe but I defiantly remember it being a bigger deal for the club when Hird retired to that of Jobe.

 

[TheGrizz]

There are few people that could have survived the pressure of the last 4 years with such grace.

Let alone as captain of the club

Let alone as the self appointed conducting point of media speculation and opposition fan abuse.

Let alone go through the personal travesty of losing a brownlow.

You are a special breed of man Jobe. We were lucky to have you, all the best for the rest of your endeavours, and i hope (for your sake and out of care) that we dont hear from you in the media while in NYC. You deserve the anonymity and the break.
