Not Essendon but Aaron Keating was lucky. 6 games for 2 premierships due to injuries to other ruckmen at Adelaide at finals time.
Mario Bortolotto. 2 flags. Given the ■■■■ by Geelong and by Carlton a year after the second flag. Was also infamous for being awarded a TV for being best on ground in an Escort Cup match by Lou Richards when he had a total of 6 kicks.

Robbert Klomp won the TV.

You are right. My mistake.
Campbell Brown.
Anyone who has played for Essendon.
Wallis would be one.
who were the first 2?
He was third luckiest to win a premiership medal that year...
Reckon Paul Hills was pretty lucky.
I hope he isn't going to say Watson.
I reckon Tim's said as much over the years, my problem is, apart from Derick (who had a shocking finals series) I dunno who plays instead, flood, Ridley,cransberg & Delaney don't seem like they would've done much better.
Ha, I remember posting that…
No, didn’t mean Timmy at all, he earnt that medal. I’m pretty sure I meant another very famous Essendon surname.

Buddy Franklin?
Did Michael Quinn ever get a footy card?
I've got his badge adorning my scarf, among equally forgettable others.
Luke Hodge as a premiership captain.
EDIT: Oh and Norm Smith Medalist. Clinton Young (if I have the right name) played a countless better match than him.
Young went off too early to win it.Luke Hodge as a premiership captain.

Also Young kicked it to the other side about 5 times IIRC. Beautiful, long, perfectly weighted, left foot, raking turnovers. Which about sums up his career!
Hodge was clearly Hawthorn’s best player. By a country mile.
Then probably Ellis, Sewell, Dew, Williams did his job, Osborne, Crawford, then maybe Young.
GAJ best on though.

Henry Slattery
THere were a few around 1970-71 who were not long-serving players - off the top of my bonce, Vic Papp, Michael Bates, John May, Andrew Radchenko, Rod McFarlane, Trevor Heath
Played cricket with Andrew Radchenko - a frightening fast bowler. Won a club best and fairest presented by Nookie Swanson from the Essendon Cricket Club who asked him how he did it. "Natural brilliance" was the reply.
