What Our "Exodus" looks like

The doomsayers were right. The exodus will begin very soon. Expect the following names to depart.

Kelly
Stokes
Grimley
Grima
Simpkin
Crowley
Michael
Polkinghorne
Jamar
(Dea)
Ashby
Cooney
(Gwilt)
(Edwards)

That’s quite an exodus!

We were wrong to deny the reports!

You sure about Kelly?

You sure about Kelly?

Yes

You sure about Kelly?

Yes


Yes, because he is going to refuse to re-sign and will nominate for the draft, hopefully for him to be picked up by any club other than Essendon.

Yes

:sadface:

Worth a year, I’d have thought.

You sure about Kelly?

Even if we wanted to, is there actually a mechanism that would allow us to retain some of the top ups? I would have thought the only avenue would be the ND or rookie drafts.

I think one or two players will be retained by the club in player developments/vfl roles. Could be wrong.

Yes

Bit harsh for mine. He’s been going good.

Obviously he’d have to be drafted. Does that make a one year contract impossible?

Not an exodus but we have lost some good players lately:

Monfries
Crameri
Ryder
Carlisle
Melksham

Are all pretty handy.

So have Adelaide, Carlton, and many other teams.

Only 2 have left because of the “scandal” and that was Ryder and Carslile.

We’ve done really good.

Just playing along with Pevster’s gag…

They will exodus. Whether they come back again is a different question, which you can start thinking about several months from now.

Those 2 were ordinary footballers anyway.

I agree. Hasn’t been a complete firesale though.

Monfries
Crameri - Zerrett
Ryder - Langford
Carlisle - Francis
Melksham - Redman

Can’t recall what we got for Monfries??? But they aren’t terrible swaps given the position we were in. The biggest hit for us remains the ludicrous AFL draft sanctions.

Isn’t Kelly a delisted FA? Meaning we can get him whenever we want?

I thought Kelly had been offered a position in 2017 with the AFL.

Does Steinberg count as part of the exodus?

Ordinary footballers don’t play 150 and 114 games with a club. Ordinary posters on the other hand…
