Oh Did not Know that
He hasn't...
would have thought many suggestions here couldn't be further from the truth - serhat temel is a very keen essendon supporter and signed with bendigo bombers in the hope that hard training and playing under the bombers nose will get him drafted to essendon at seasons end. i believe he is actually very determined.

Saw him play today for Bendigo in a VFL Practice Game at Gosh's Paddock and he did a very good job in the Forward 50 Kicked a Few Goals and Set up a Few. Has a Great Leap and Hands and also a Good Kick
Im pretty surprised that he wasn't at least rookied with his performances at U18 level it would suggest to me that he has fair amount of ability...shame if he has given it away, like others have said...only serves to underline he's not to fussed bout a league career then..Good luck to him whatever
Because they had the worst side in the history of VFL. Not enough recruits want to play their and fair enough too.

Geelong? Collingwood? Gold Coast?
Bendigo is hardly the only team without a reserves side.
That's the pay-off from Bendigo basically operating like our very own reserves side, much like Pies and Cats have.
FWIW it seems to be working better than Bendigo in the last 4-5 years.
Why don't they just change the name from Bendigo to Essendon and be done with it?
Locals don't have the VFL reserves to improve their chances and the VFL senior side is the Essendon reserves plus Cloke, Skipworth and a couple of others.
If it was a proper allignment then the rookies on the Essendon list would be in the VFL reserves like most alligned clubs and the VFL listed players getting a game when it's deserved. Now every Essendon listed player is guaranteed VFL senior football, which isn't what a traditional VFL club should be like.
Bendigo should have taken a leaf out of North Ballarat's book.
If Temel wants to get a chance at AFL level then he should look to the WAFL for some good senior football experience.

On the bolded - it was some crap about the VFL not wanting to hand out another "stand-alone" licence, but letting us run the existing licence as a de facto "stand-alone". We operate under the same rules as your lot - ie no 12/10 rule with AFL/VFL listed players - but have to keep the name. It's ridiculous, but a lot less ridiculous than the Bendigo side which went win-less last year.
The locals you speak of weren't really interested in playing VFL reserves for the $$$, which is less than they'd get playing in the Bendigo league . (The Ressies would have averaged about 3 goals a game over the last 2 years).
