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.

Draft Order

Can I get a ruling? Are we taking players at their best perhaps at another team or when they were in Essendon colours only?

I'm voting the best regardless. Original post just states players who have pulled on the essendon jumper

At their peak I'd say, they just needed to play for us at some point

 

[BomberTime]

Ok, they weren’t at their peak at Essendon but both outstanding players.

This would make the decision to pick Geoff Raines a controversial one considering the abysmal Essendon career he had

I'm just going by previous iterations of this game where this was the case.

No more name dropping!

 

[Stopher]

Even at Essendon, he actually stood up in big games. A point reinforced at the Lions.

If you want. Or if you want when we did this a couple of years ago someone did a "best of the rest" at the end of the draft and it was damn near nearly the best team.

Jeez, you'd be disappointed to win a Normie & not be considered as good an Essendon player as Todd Goldstein
