I'm happy enough with that. Kelly deserves another year on this years form and he has turned down a guaranteed job with the AFL so mentally you would think he is raring to go. Dea was a bit of a surprise packet this year and think he is even a upgrade on Hibbard. Both those 2 give us a few options in defence now.

kelly can get a contract but barlow cant :shock:

also with watson's brownlow... if the WADA ruling had been declared before the medal count night, and he had been suspended already, would he have been deemed ineligible for the brownlow before the medal count went ahead.

Kelly and Barlow play different roles, think it's a little easier playing in that defensive role than a midfielder. Kelly is not quite 33 and still playing some good footy, can be rotated through our defence and if we could get 15 games from him all parties would be happy.
As for Watson it's hard to know as I don't think that scenario was likely as they had well and truly played the whole season before the story broke

Great news off field, $1m a year for the next 7 years from ISC and a stack of money from Skins and New Era


Essendon Football Club is excited to announce it has signed three new apparel partners for the 2017 season.

The Bombers players were greeted with their new ISC, SKINS and New Era apparel at today’s first training session of the pre-season.

ISC, SKINS and New Era will supply the team with the latest performance apparel, compression technology and an exclusive range of headwear in 2017 and beyond.

CEO, Xavier Campbell, welcomed the three leading and progressive apparel brands to the Essendon family.

“We are extremely pleased ISC, SKINS and New Era will be part of our comeback story,” Campbell said.

“These are three innovative and progressive sports brands, and their decision to partner with Essendon is an important step in the future direction of our Club.

“This is the first time we have segmented our apparel partnerships, and we are excited about the benefits the new range will deliver from a performance and retail perspective.

“The range of on-field apparel, compression technology and headwear is dynamic, and we look forward to seeing our players, coaches, staff and supporters wearing it over the course of the 2017 season and beyond.”

ISC has signed on as the Club’s Official On-field Apparel Partner for the next seven seasons, making it one of the largest apparel partnerships in the AFL.

The Australian owned company will supply the Club’s Official On-field playing Guernseys, shorts and socks, as well as a comprehensive range of training and off-field apparel.

Its business model of relationship-led sporting partnerships, supported by quality products and an innate understanding of the Australian sports landscape has been a large part of its success.

Brett Corrick of ISC said their vision is to empower the players to be the best in their sportswear.

"It's a major milestone for ISC to be announced as the 2017 Official On-field Apparel Partner of the Essendon Bombers, one of the oldest and most respected AFL clubs,” Corrick said.

“2017 will be one of the most important seasons in the Bombers illustrious history and we are honoured to have been chosen to share this journey with them.

“We take pride in providing technologically advanced, quality merchandise and kits, and partnering with the Bombers for 2017 will play an integral part in supporting our home grown success."

SKINS has signed on as the Club’s Official Compression Partner for the next three seasons and will supply the team with training and playing compression technology garments.

SKINS Executive Chairman, Jaimie Fuller, said he is proud to partner with the Club after witnessing the on and off-field changes which have taken place over the past season.

“We believe Essendon is truly committed to not only changing its game but also recognising the role they can play in changing the game. That’s something we are proud to sponsor and stand behind,” Fuller said.

“We at SKINS believe it’s about more than how far you have fallen. It’s about how you can inspire others in the way you rise back up.

“To us, that is the essence of sport. That is ultimately what we all play for and, indeed, what we live for.”

New Era is the Club’s Official Headwear Partner for the next two seasons.

Since 1920, New Era has been hand-crafting the finest headwear on the planet, and is the brand of choice in the worlds of sport, fashion, music and entertainment.

In 2017 Essendon’s players, coaches and staff will be wearing a specific range of New Era headwear including the Bombers’ media cap, training cap, beanie, visor and travel cap.

General Manager of New Era Australia, Simon Hibbs, said he looked forward to working with the Bombers.

"We are very excited to announce our partnership with the Essendon Football Club, as their Official Headwear Partner,” Hibbs said.

“New Era is delighted to be the Official Headwear Partner of an AFL Club, bringing the best headwear in the world to both the players and the fans at the club.”


The full range of ISC and New Era apparel is available in the Bomber Shop at the Club’s Tullamarine headquarters.

Essendon has de-listed Shaun McKernan from the senior list. However, the Club is committed to re-drafting McKernan at the upcoming AFL National Rookie Draft.

My understanding is the club needed the spot for Xavier Richards

Essendon have reverted to a curved sash on their guernseys from next season.

Whats the soft option Jim?

I think they must give it to Cotchin and Mitchell, one deserves it, the other not so much.
At least now the guy who will end his career with the most Brownlow votes will have at least one Medal
