2023 Essendon List

Is it possible to include a column somewhere showing the position/s they were recruited to play or have played? That would be useful for noobs like me.

There's a tab called 'roles' – green is forwards, blue is ruck, yellow is mid, red is defence. It's a little rudimentary but people tend not to agree on anything more than the basics so it saves arguments. Gee is mid/fwd

Oh that's nonsense...

 

[yodellinhank]

Huh? We've signed 3 mids, so it looks like the midfield group is coming together. What's awkward?

A 3 person list with 2 in the leadership group

 

[CrowdedHouse]

Told you all three weeks ago...

WE GOT BONNIE TOOGOOD!

[RedmanWasHere]

Can the club get a West Coast Bullas the next target?

Georgia's a bit dodgy. Prioritising needs.

 

[Bulldogs85]

Sucks losing Bonnie wish her the best except when she is playing against us

So I looked up Toogood and I can see she was the Dogs' leading goal.kicker this year, so obviously a strong signing. But Frew is having a great season from what I've seen; how does she compare? Is she AFLW standard and is she likely to partner Toogood in the forwardline?

Is she good mates with Dunks, perchance?

 

[Albertross]

Now let's get Chloe Molloy.

Wouldn’t have a clue

Get her in! Frew has fantastic goal sense, be a shame for her not to get drafted by us.

 

[CrowdedHouse]

ONE OF US... ONE OF US... ONE OF US...

Any idea if we are targetting Georgie Prespakis?

Prespakis and Gee declare wish to explore expansion move

Madison Prespakis and Georgia Gee have today informed the Club of their decision to explore a move to the Essendon Football Club.

www.carltonfc.com.au

Going in early but welcome home, Maddy.

Georgie next?

3 of 14 current AFLW signed, you'd hope we're a chance.

Fingers crossed.

Adding to this, I hope the whole lot of players, if not named Georgia/Georgie, have some familial ties to one.

I believe I read somewhere that she wasn't coming to us. Happy at Geelong or a better offer elsewhere, idk. Be great to have her back, so much upside.

 

[CrowdedHouse]

I've heard the names, Kearney, Ashmore and Duffin from Norf been mentioned, BUT they are not from the same sources I heard about Maddy and Bonnie, so take with a healthy pinch of salt.

 

[cobra land]

Bonnie is a key forward and is very good overhead, another of our recruits who grew up barracking for the Bombers... she is a star !

 

[Bombermania]

Is there any chance of picking up the player that was drafted by the Suns?

Alana Barba?

 

[Bombermania]

Alana Barba?

That's her name but wasn't sure how to spell it.

 

[CrowdedHouse]

That's her name but wasn't sure how to spell it.

Yes.

Alana Barba was taken by the Suns as an injury replacement, instead of through the draft, meaning the Suns can't automatically re-sign her - they would have to re-draft her.

BUT... since she went untaken in the draft last year, she is eligible to be signed directly to us under the most recent expansion rules.

AND... two weeks ago at Arden Street, there was vision of her wearing the current Bombers polo shirt and joined the circle to sing the song after the game.

Is Duffin any good? Got a soft spot for her 'cause she plays for the Renegades in the WBBL, but I haven't really seen a whole lot of her in AFLW.

Not a speedster, but my goodness, does she read the ball in flight so well. Solid mid sized defender.
