I wasn't too keen on him - we need to build through drafting young guys and trading for those 25 and younger. I am however very happy that he did not go to another Melbourne club and this signing would seem to indicate that the culture at your club is sound and players believe in the direction in which it is heading.

Not to be a party killer, but will be 33 by the end of the deal.

Is there any other KPD's who have still been at the top of their game at 33? (Fletch aside).
so?? We have him when he's 28, and 29, and 30, and 31... you get the idea...

2017 suddenly can't come quickly enough. Cale will be an immortalised Bomber if he can help bring another premiership in his time at the club. Surely, he would've had the most reason to leave; free agent, huge offer, let down by the club, go-home factor etc etc. Good on you big fella! The rest will surely follow now.

“I’m thrilled to announce Cale has signed on as a Bomber for the next five years,” Campbell said.

“Cale was a free agent and he turned down a number of enticing offers from opposition clubs because he believes in the direction of our football club.

“Cale is an important part of the future of our football Club, he is a tremendous person and an exceptional football player.

“He can see we are building a strong team and I think Essendon members and supporters will be very happy to know they’ll be watching Cale in the red and black for another five years.”
This bloke has turned down offers all through his career. What a star.
