Thread updated to 2023. The overage draft is pending with little detail available from AFL at this time in regards to dates.


Wonder who Essendon should target.

Who's tradebait?

Could Makaylah Appleby or Pia Stalthari be worthy shouts?

Brooke Brown from the Roos apparently coming to Essendon. Defender makes sense as we delisted a mid and two defenders after the season ended last year.

That brings our total list to 30 at the moment, if we sign anyone else or want to trade anyone in we will need to delist more players accordingly.

EXPANSION side Essendon has announced its first list changes, delisting Jordan Zanchetta, Bella Ayre, and Olivia Barton.


I'm sure this was announced in December but it's not in the thread so adding it now

Clarke is contracted at Essendon through until the end of next season, with the Bombers adamant she will be held to her deal, though rivals believe the Saints have shown a willingness to be bold in their trading this off-season.

Essendon might change their tune if the Saints are truly willing to be bold:

Patrikios once again soaked up a lot of St Kilda's marketing budget for little return this year. Is it too early to bring up the words "sunk cost fallacy"?
 
Paige Scott isn't going to have sustained success at AFLW level imo. But c'mon, Essendon had to salvage SOMETHING from a recent no.8 pick, sheesh.

Still not sure the Bombers are taking the matter of ruck depth seriously (though getting an Erin McKinnon plodder certainly would not have been a better option). Nanscawen turns 33 in May. If not for those two major problems, the list would be in good shape.
