This is the dumb shower I'm talking about.. Why would you even consider asking Goodes? Find some young blokes in the state leagues that are desperate for an opportunity!

Bombers already have more than enough younger players on their list. The top ups don't have to play every game but they are needed. Throwing Parish into the mids next to Crowley who'll protect him makes sense. Throwing him in with a VFL quality player won't help much.

Fantasia, Gleeson, Langford, Laverde, Francis, Parish, McKenna, Merrett and even Daniher is almost too much youth already so getting some experience around them makes perfect sense. You can't expect to be competitive while playing with 2 players who have played more than 45 games in the side.

Essendon have signed Sam Grimley.

Very good goalkicking option.

I wanted to draft him last year, hope he proves everyone wrong

[Mat0369]

Yeah I wouldn't have minded him at Carlton with the lack of talls we had and the Hawks link. I wonder if he will get an opportunity at AFL level now as the 2nd tall?

Sam Michael is potentially another they are looking at as he is training with the club currently.

Sammy Michael. Watch be on a permanent list in 2017 8)

Sam McClure ‏@sam_mcclure
Essendon unlikely to get to 10 top ups. Not particularly interested in any other players and would love to save the $. Might just stop at 8.

Theres a lot of hope among those players looking for a second chance. Makes you wonder how hard they are gonna push themselves to make it happen.


Im a little bit worried Essendon will be too good. I mean I want them to not be smashed week in week out, as that detrimental to our kids development, but finishing 9th or 10th is showerty for draft picks. which in my opinion is the most important thing besides kids development this year.

How would you finish 9th/10th

You finished 15th last year and that was with a full squad

[Cookie Monster]

The most important thing is we play Carlton twice and we'll beat them and if that happens that a successful season for me!
