Jade Gresham is an example of the list build that Essendon has constructed towards the end of Adrian Dodoro era: a top-up for a club that hasn't won a final since Adam was a boy. He has put in some flashy passages, as in round 1 when he almost led a comeback over the Hawks, and it is obvious that he still has the cream that a good team needs to put it over the top. Essendon is not a good team, however, and he is just the wrong sort of player for their stage of development. While he takes an oversized chunk of their salary cap, the Bombers keep wallowing in mediocrity.
