Rookie 43. Emerson Jeka (2023 - )

I got the same impression. It was a weird interview from him.

He would have had more chance of senior games at Essendon, so you can understand he would be a bit miffed. Hopefully the chip on his shoulder will make him work harder here and get his chance.

Yeah we may have ended his career early

Unless the Dons told him that they were 100% gonna take him in the Rookie Draft and we got in just before them, he really shouldn't be disappointed.

He was potentially only a few selections away from being out of the system.

Time to step it up I reckon.

Jekas interview didn't strike me with confidence. Almost seems dissapointed he didnt go to the bombers. Who would want to play in that hell hole.

He’s a very quiet and reserved kid

He was only signing a vfl contract with them. No guarantee they'd ssp him, otherwise they'd have just brought him in DFA
