Well. I've looked at who's gone but maybe I'm missing him.

The bloke voted our 14th best player of all time, Bill Busbridge. 1908 and 1909 best and fairest winner, played in the 1911 flag.

Slots nicely into CHB and let's me move Terry forward.

I've unashamedly looked up the Essendon Champions to see who is left and stoked to include the man ranked #13 in the Champions of Essendon list of the 25 greatest players ever to have played for Essendon.

I'm please to welcome the great *checks notes* Reg "Baby John" Burgess to the team.

#13 at pick 66

beat that BrunoV !

Sure.

With pick 67 I'll take 264 game Essendon stalwart, a wingman born 5 or 6 years too early or 3 or 4 years too late...and sire extraordinaire...Ken Fletcher.

Was very tempted by Ken but put Coon slightly higher

Des Tuddenham

Not for his career at Essendon where he played 4 seasons, but his prior career at Collingwood (he also played 2 more seasons at Collingwood post Essendon). Named as ruck over in the Collingwood Team of the Century means he can be ruck rover in my team given it's taking the player at their peak, not their peak while in an Essendon jumper.

Tuddenham was a highly skilled player in his own right but he is more renowned for his physical style of play and competitiveness where he simply refused to ever lay down in a contest or in a game. He also loved kicking a goal as evidenced by 317 goals from 251 games, mostly playing out of the centre square.

Despite his issues with the law post football, he was inducted into the AFL Hall of Fame in 2008.

Considering I have Lucas, it feels right pairing him with:

Gary Moorcroft

Thanks Shermy.

I will grab a player who'll fly the flag for the team and go "Rotten" Ronnie Andrews.

Then, I'll grab a guy who I can plonk into the forward line.

Taken at pick 10 in the 1994 AFL Draft, Blake Caracella.

Return to sender.

I was going to grab him with this pick. Damn you RedmanWasHere

Ok, I select Sean Denham

93 Premiership player
97 Crichton winner
all round general pest

Bipolarbear
****. 2 from 2!

I guess we're at the point where the obvious quality will start to disappear and we'll need to dig deep into the cyber world to find the not-so-obvious quality.
 
Harold Lambert.

HBF in the Essendon Team of the Century and number 25 in the Champions of Essendon. Shamelessly copied from the club website article after he passed away in May this year at 99 years old:

The Bombers champion had a stellar career for the red and black in arguably the club’s greatest era, but it was a tenure that was impacted by war. From 1942 to 1945, he served in the army in Papua New Guinea and throughout the Pacific.

Upon his return to Windy Hill, Lambert moved to the half-back flank where he continued his dominance. He was rarely beaten and was a fierce, fearless, but fair competitor throughout his glittering career.

Lambert starred for Essendon in three premierships, across the backline with stints in the midfield, and was a mainstay of the line-up in what was Essendon’s greatest period.

Across his 99 games for the club, Lambert was regarded as perhaps the best half-back flanker of his era as he starred alongside fellow legends Dick Reynolds, Bill Hutchison and John Coleman. Among his career games were 21 finals, with Lambert in third place behind Reynolds and Hutchison for the most finals appearances by any Bomber.
