If a Subway kitchen hand is a "sandwich artist" does that mean the cafe staff on the brunch shift are "eggsmiths"?

I dropped out of school to be a sandwich artist.
Not all it's cracked up to be.
In the end it was the drugs, fast cars and faster women that undone me.

Drugs, fast cars and faster women undone you?
That would do me just fine

Hasn't been seen at VFL level for a while. Any sightings at training? Any news whatsoever?

In the last week I have seen him doing slow laps at training, not sure what injury he has but don't think we will see him for several more weeks at least?.
 
Anybody know what injury this bloke has. Looked very promising last year and a smooth mover. Has he a long term injury or is he having personal issues. I was hoping to see him run around in the ressies but unsighted so far this year.

Only guessing, but there was a young bloke out on the ground at the #lolnorf game assisting with the advertising screen at the qtr time huddles. Thought it was Eggsy, had a fair amount of strapping around one knee, so it wouldn't surprise if he was still out.
 
I don't think he's ever been named on the injury list, but I do know he didn't have a good preseason – and not due to injury. Given his long absence I'd say he has found the workload and/or commitment too much, but maybe I'm reading too much into it. Happy to be proven wrong.
 
I remember reading or hearing somewhere that Dekka was suffering from shin soreness, which used to be refrred to as shin splints or heated inflamed areas in the bone that can be a precursor to stress fractures.

That would explain his long lay off.

Can be a delicate and somewhat difficult condition to get on top of.

I might be wrong but I do remember seeing those words related to his absence.

That said the club hasnt really made reference to his status either.
 
Been racking up some consistent and impressive performances in the 2nds. Good ball user off the half back. Perhaps push edwards back in the middle and let eggy learn from the stackman in defense.
 
I may stand corrected on this but I don't think he can play seniors unless someone goes on the LTIL to make way. He is only a Cat B rookie and they don't get automatic starts.

I may be wrong but I seem to remember Soldo getting a game when he was A Cat B rookie.
