Today, the sad news was published of the death of Essendon former player Dean Bailey due to lung cancer.
For the younger followers on the site, Dean played 53 games (33 wins, 1 draw, 19 losses and 3 finals) with the club during his career from 1986 -1992. Mixing it up in the centre and as a general utility player around the square, he finished with 19 goals and averaged just on 13 disposals a game (23 his best).
A small side note is that Dean was the last player to wear number 31, before it was taken over by Dustin Fletcher in 1993.
A sad loss for the Essendon family.
