Welcome to Essendon - Brayden Fiorini

I like Matt Rosa targeting players for specific roles

We are extremely excited to have Brayden, Molly and son William join the club. We see a clear role for Brayden on the wing, it’s a role-specific target we were after leading into this period. Brayden has great leadership qualities, is a high-end character and has great footy IQ. There’s no doubt he’ll complement our midfield mix,” Rosa said.

If he’s the second coming of David Myers then I have a new favourite.

Didnt you know that anyone bought in over the age of 25 is just a “sugar hit”

I think a lot of us went way early on Prior. No world beater but did get much better as the season went on when the rest of the team (continued) to get worse

He wore #8 at GC. Maybe give him Shiel’s #9.

(Unless #8 becomes available… )

Why not #7?

He’s no Tayte Pears.

But he does have that certain “Damian Peverill” appeal to him.

I suggested giving #7 to Nic Martin (switching from #37), but someone convinced me that it should go to one of the new draftees for a fresh start (if it’s vacant).

Damien Peverill. Hard nose player that went in like a bull. Sign me up but I do know where you going with this :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

10 years of no finals until one campaign, multiple coaches and perennially finishing low. A player Gold Coast have flirted with getting rid of for years. Exactly the experience we’re crying out for.

He can find the footy and I predict he will be top 2 in average possessions per game. No real hurt factor to his possessions BUT he knows how to play a specific role in a game plan.

Eggs?

You forgot to mention there was a Finals win in the one campaign and played a blinder. And under the auspices of a triple premiership winning coach.
