Fictional. Never actually existed. Like Andrew Lee.

For what it's worth, I'm disappointed in the decision because I believe Sean could have offered us something.I don't take anything personally. Life goes on and after all it is just a game. All the best people in the future, it's been interesting reading all your varied views over the last 2 years.
You are very close to the player by the sounds of it Kick the thing. Any news relating to the possibility of rookie listing him?
Shame ...There will be no rookie listing by Essendon.
Having been told he was a 3 - 4 year proposition, Sean was as surprised as everyone else about his delisting especially after a positive end of season interview with Bomber pointing out his lack of 1%'s. A misdiagnosis mid year on injury derailed his season and put him firmly behind the 8 ball for the rest of the year.
Despite getting positive feedback from Paul Corrigan (player welfare manager), Sean was sensationally delisted despite being given the green light and was "ticking all the boxes" in terms of where the club wanted him to be at as a 2/4 year Key Position Player. Having hit 84kg's and hardly missing a session Sean was told his services were no longer required.
He is still living & training with 'Turk' (Essendon trainer), Gregory is looking to the draft to get himself back into the AFL environment. The biggest fear is that he is "tarnished" with the Essendon stench despite not being apart of the program circa 2012.
As for 2015? Gregory is aiming to play VFL football and end up back on an AFL list should he be overlooked this year. A stand alone club his preference (gave my Dolphins a shout out but more likely heading to Coburg which would be a good like for like replacement for Michael Hartley who I feel WILL be drafted).
I would have thought they'd sign in a hurry if the coach was in doubt. Get locked in ASAP.
Been absolutely huge today for Coburg.
Needs a big year. Wouldn't be surprised however, rated as a top 5 player at Coburg now that he's over his injuries (Groin problems 2015, Hammy last year).Could be the next Hartley? (As in taken early by afl, possibly not ready, delisted, fills out a bit plays VFL well and gets another chance)
Assuming that he could get to Hartley's level as a VFL player I'd love to have him back on the list (though I doubt that he'd be interested given the way things ended). I doubt that he would struggle to get himself drafted.
196cm defenders who are complete gas and have the agility to genuinely play small are a rare commodity.
Good luck to him.
If no other afl club were interested in him I'd expect the past would be quickly forgotten if the club gave him a second chance. Nearly all the coaches involved at the time are no longer at the club in any case. From memory his old man had an issue with Thompson.
