Welcome to Essendon - Brayden Fiorini

He’s been traded for a future 3rd round pick.

People need to settle down. He’s OK, but a very weird one to chase.

He’s a free agent, only did a token trade so it didn’t dilute our Draper compensation

They didn’t give him an offer tho. And I suspect nobody else did (?). Ie he’s not highly sought after.

They had an offer on the table.
They even bumped it up an extra year to try and get him to stay?

Port were also chasing him

Did they? I sit corrected.

Yep he wasn’t highly sought after, Port were keen tho and he did a tour there, GC did have a contract offer to him but I reckon they were ok with him going because they’ve stacked in the midfield and gives them some cap relief because of Trac coming in

Do well, good luck. Upgrade on what we have.

No more Jones on the wing. I can only hope he brings this seasons form into the next two or three. Will be interesting to see if he keeps Angus Clarke in the two’s.

I’m sorry but what the hell is that

Said on Agenda Setters that Fiorini is very happy and him as well

Runs both ways, offensively and defensively

I think he was being sarcastic as that isn’t common amongst our current crop.

Happy for Jones to spend the next 2 years on a wing in the VFL until he is delisted.

I think its some sort of bizarro world where Flanders nabs pick 7 where as Fiorini a third rounder. 2025 stats. Flanders wins on age … but that’s about it

Hopefully a shrewd get by Essendon - certainly makes our best side at least which for a pick in the 40s is automatically good business.

Someone else said it, but there’s certainly a bit of David Myers about him…
