The Essendon Football Club currently has approximately 20 vacancies for the position of ‘AFL footballer’.
This is an exciting opportunity for anyone who has ever dreamed of playing at the highest-level but couldn’t because they were terrible at football.
The ideal candidate must be somewhat in shape and have the necessary skills to match it with St Kilda, GWS and Melbourne (not a huge ask).
This once in a lifetime opportunity will see you play on the hallowed turf of Etihad Stadium, Spotless Stadium and Morwell Recreational Reserve.
Prior experience in the VFL, WAFL, SANFL or Auskick will be looked upon favourably.
Uniforms, meals and legal fees will be provided but the successful candidates must provide their own boots.
A willingness to work with James Hird is a must.
Please, no ASADA employees or Cale Mortons.

Hi, I'm enquiring about the position you're advertising.
Oh, taken? Sorry to trouble you.

Hi, whilst not very good at all really, I've been described as 'marketable' and I am keen to understand the remuneration package being offered? Thx, Izzy.

Hi, while dogged back pocket types aren't in vogue at AFL level too often these days I think I could hold down a position on the pine as part of the above vacancy.
If you could get Sheeds back that would be a big help. If Walsh, Wallis, Flood and Hamilton were under the Hird regime they would've been out on their collective arses!
I'm happy to be referred to as 'Hank' if gets me a game...
Cheers,
Slatts

Hi,
Not providing boots isn't a problem. For starters I have 'boots' in my name and second i don't even need clothes!
I'm not available on Tuesdays though I have other sessions booked.

As I'm past 50 years old, will you accept my offer to be the club waterboy? I've had experience at my job.

Hi, I'm enquiring about the position, I've struggled at my former club, and need a good role model to help me.
