Bombers get Gresham

Dons land Saints half forward.

Tentative but deal's effectively done.

St Kilda gets end of first round pick (21) while Essendon snag Gresham.

Looks like Essendon's redoing its 2015 selections.

Welcome to Essendon, Gil Grissom

[mcgrath_truther]

Tried to get Dunkley and were very much into the other McKay and apparently Oliver. Oddly invested in that draft crop it would seem.

Also idk if you know but footywire has a handy 'current team' column on their draft section that is left blank for delisted/retired players – quite useful for this sort of analysis =)

I ******* love this pick! I wanted him in his draft year, he's been a good little terrier.

Great to have more indigenous talent in the team.

 

[DonsRule]

Yeah I think he will suit a need.

Don't think hes a player you over pay for but as a non trade., He would be an upgrade of Gueif . Almost think his papers have probably now been stamped. Hopefully he can help with forward pressure.

I hope this as well, what a coincidence.

I think Guelfi might have another year on contract, so it'll likely be Snelling given he's OOC.

Same player, different name lol.

But whichever is out of contract if gone I think.

 

[eddie_punchclock]

Smart around goal and has skills

Tell me more about him? I’ve got nfi. Do we see him taking a run along the wing? How’s his forward pressure and two way running?

[Call Me Cake]

Replaces either Snelling or Guelfi as a pure small forward.

Plop him in there for the next 3 years (with KPI's for more) and let him go to town.

Competition for the spot will be stronger, driving better performances. It's ultimately a win for us either way.

It's up to us to get the best out of him.

Welcome.
