    Thank you Adam Cooney.

    To Essendon for pick 37.

    A great player that probably rode out his playing career more on natural talent than hard work but there can be no denying he gave everything he could for us throughout his time with the Dogs. The 2008 Brownlow medal definitely a highlight - unfortunately the same year he cracked his patella in the qualifying final. It's unfortunate he's going to Essendon but I hope he'll happy playing out the rest of his days there.

    He'll always be welcome back to the club.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Couldn't agree more, always loved watching him play and a cruel blow to him when he did his knee.

    Not sure why he chose Essendon, but good luck

    Sad to see him go, was a fav. Had his best footy stolen crom him in late 2008.

    Great deal for us though.

    The greatest what if that I've had following the dogs; could have (probably would have) been anything if he didn't play on that busted knee in 2008.

    Good luck at Essendon Adam. Like I'm sure they taught you your first day in Footscray, don't share needles.

    All the best Adam. It was an exciting career with the Dogs and I hope you look back at this journey as a positive one.

    Cant say a bad word about Coons. Watching him pre knee injury in full flight was a delight. A proud bulldogs man.
    I'm sure he will always be a friend of this forum.

    Is 37 unders or about right?

    Slightly unders but it's not an exact science when the player confirms a preferred club.

    Re: Thank you Adam Cooney.

    WOW. It's like there's been a revolution.
    Heads have rolled, blood has been spilt.

    The old guard have been sent packing.

    The young turks have taken over the palace.

    Interesting year ahead. Gonna absolutely loathe seeing Coons in that filthy bomber jumper.
    And it's also gonna be awful seeing Griff in that Junk food wrapper they call a guernsey at GWS.

    Really sad to see both of them go.

    But BLOODY EXCITED about the future.

    Ah bummer. I thought we may have kept him. Sad to see him go and sad to have him crueled by injuries all through his prime years. His brownlow season was unbelievable!

    It's going to be real tough seeing him run around with the scum.

    Playing at other Clubs:

    Griffen, Cooney, Higgins, Lake, Ward, Everitt, Hill, Ray, probably Jones and Tutt - all in the 25 to 30 bracket
