Lock it in! Strauchanie has convinced Fly and Leppa that he’s got what it takes to compete at AFL level again 🤣✍️
In a surprising turn of events, local footy legend Strauchanie has apparently convinced Collingwood coach Craig McRae, fondly known as “Fly,” and Brisbane Lions coach Chris Fagan, or “Leppa,” that he is ready to make a successful return to the AFL. Sources close to the matter suggest that Strauchanie, who has been out of the professional game for several years, has been exercising in secret and claims to be in the greatest shape of his life.
Strauchanie reportedly dazzled the coaches with a series of impressive footy tricks, including a behind-the-back handball and a kick that landed perfectly in a nearby bin. “I haven’t seen skills like that since the 90s,” Fly was overheard saying, while Leppa chuckled and added, “If he can still do that, maybe he does have a shot!”
However, not everyone is convinced. Critics have raised questions at Strauchanie’s eccentric training regimen, which supposedly includes a mix of yoga, interpretative dance, and a diet consisting mostly of meat pies and energy drinks. “It’s a formula for disaster,” one former player observed. “But if anyone can pull it off, it’s Strauchanie.”
In a bold move, Strauchanie has announced plans to host a public training session at the local park, inviting fans and aspiring players to witness his “comeback.” The event is expected to draw a crowd, with many eager to see if he can still kick a footy as well as he can tell a joke. “I just want to show everyone that age is just a number,” Strauchanie declared in a recent interview. “And if I can convince Fly and Leppa, then anything is possible!”
As the footy community buzzes with excitement and skepticism, one thing is clear: Strauchanie’s antics are sure to keep fans entertained. Whether he can truly compete at the AFL level again remains to be seen, but for now, the legend of Strauchanie continues to grow. Stay tuned for updates on this unfolding saga!
