After two years of 'winning trade week' they are stone motherless last with no first round pick this year. Mitch dodged a bullet.
I still don't understand why Essendon recruited the players they did over the last couple of years. I said it at the time and the problem is even more blatant now. Why they went for 'cherry on top' players when they had no cake to put them on is a mystery.
Still they won trade week and that's all that matters. Did their membership numbers get a dead cat bounce after? It's all I can think.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
