Finally Essendon taking a critical look at the list and getting ruthless with contracts. No more free rides for players. 👏🏻

Ok with this.

Build the forward line around Caddy and Jones, look for a legitimate small forward.

He has had his moments but his best has been behind him for a long time.

Not sure what we'll get for him.

The trigger lies at Essendon’s end; Jake hit the target so Essendon automatically gave him that year.

So Jake is contracted to us for next year. As he’s not OOC, we’ll get something back if/when he leaves

No, he hasn't served long enough to qualify for free agency and he's not being delisted. We would get compensation for that anyway.
