Competitions Essendon's GOAT draft

[boncer34]

For some off-season fun I'm proposing a draft of all Essendon players where posters get to name their best 23.

1,214 players have played for Essendon so entry is strictly capped at 52 posters.

Draft ordered will be a randomised snake order and of course each player can only be drafted once.

Once teams are drafted they'll be pitted against one another in series of polls until we have a winner.

[DapperDon]

He slipped right into my hands

 

[Stopher]

He slipped right into my hands

I considered going a team full of ruckman, but thought better of it

Staggering that Tom Fitzmaurice is still available.

Vindicater

I was definitely eyeing him off if he slipped. Would’ve looked good next to Thurgood with some grainy black and white footage added.

 

[Vindicater]

Keep building from the back line and only with W names.

Buttsworth - Team of the Century CHB

 

[Blind Turn]

Forbes - rover who kicked 475 career goals. That’s the most by a player in VFL/AFL history to have never played a final.

Nick Larkey is coming

 

[TheUnicorn]

You reckon Chief will do up a badge for the winner of this?

 

[Blind Turn]

Nick Larkey is coming

Would be a very good chance just looking at his stats.

 

[Vindicater]

Jason Johnson adds some more grunt.
