Essendon

McGrath over McCluggage
McKenna left them
Daniher left them
Dunkley when his contract eventually expired, left them at the aisle

Brisbane owe Essendon a big sloppy kiss for being such a poorly run club.

Will "Normie" Ashcroft was only 4 months old the last time Essendon won a final

But they keep winning trade week

You can add the number of players walked out after the drugs scandal.

Now that they have dumped stringer, any chance we can revisit the bomberblitz joy and ecstasy of him coming to the club and how he can be the messiah?

How do do we see his tenure? I think we were lucky enough to see the best of stringer throughout his career thus far.

Also wondering what his end of year costumer will be for the GWS mad monday party?

He's done pretty well for them without actually getting the most out of ability.

123 games
207 goals

In 2015 he kicked over 50 goals and was All Australian.
In 2016 he not only played in a winning final, but a premiership.

He didn't achieve any of those things in his 7 seasons at Essington.

Awesome record for a player who picked his mark professionally. Going back twenty years Jake Stringer is a sixty goal a season utility.

Not sure what we expected when we drafted him. More and more I think we'd all have been unbelievably happy with a utility who can kick up to 40-50 goals a year as a medium sized forward.

He's a Dogs player. Two goals a game. Goes to Essington for whatever reason.......1.4 goals a game. Still the package though.....

I quibble with caling him a utility. Seems like he was only ever fit enough to be a utility in 21. He's just a pseudo key foward

I wonder what his contract is at GWS he could actually be better playing in a better team.
I think Essendon are in for another lean year or two minimum as well.

Surely another club will take him before us to make the bombers pay . Ultimate result is both their NGAs are chosen before the bombers pick exhausting any other options they have.

The last 2 kids we 'stole' from Essendon ended up a deadeye forward who kicked 4 goals in a prelim, and an eker legend who is about to start at his 4th club.

It's an omen. Bid dammit!
