[JDC!]

Most importantly, Ronald Fejo is a great kid. He will give it his all to earn a spot on Essendon's list and has done a tremendous amount of work on his football over the past couple of years. I've watched him play a lot. He was definitely a good junior but not a standout AFL prospect or anything like that. However, his progression into the NTFL Premier League was impressive and he certainly showed traits that suggested he could play at a much higher level. Good decision by the Bombers to add him to the train-on list.

[Zach Package]

The addition of Voss has lessened the alphabetical impact of losing Zaharakis.

Hoping to draft Arthur A Appleblabb in 2022

Zerk comes after Zaha.

Does Jake Aarts have a brother?

 

[Howard Moon]

Subiaco forward Nic Martin invited to train with Essendon.

Apparently trained with wce last preseason too.

Anything sandgropers?

So invites so far Fejo, Wanganeen, Martin

 

[Keystone agony]

Powerful medium sized forward who has a good leg

Stkilda almost recruited him last year so clubs definitly been watching him

Are they official?

 

[Howard Moon]

Are they official?

Bombers to invite son of club great, WA gun for pre-season training

Could another famous name be making a return to Essendon?

www.zerohanger.com

 

[Mikevk123]

Martin and Jnr thanks

 

[Towno78]

Can Fejo Jr play as a smaller crumbing forward??

Looks like Andy Lovett II to me.
Hopefully all the good bits, and none of the other bits.

 

[Howard Moon]

Think he's only been doing in in sanfl reserves tho, having said that wanganeen milera probably did the same and went ten

 

[JT_the_Man]

I’m assuming Dylan Clarke is also still training with us?

 

[Towno78]

Andy Lovett was also a rookie selection...

 

[Howard Moon]

Andy Lovett was also a rookie selection...

point taken, although id say lovett came via the pathways, northern knights, onto east perth wafl before being rookied. Coming from the bush and showing something in the sanfl ressies is a bit less of a platform. Hope he makes it however!

 

[Milanista28]

Fejo is the perfect talent teams should be adding to their rookie lists, could be anything.

Also think he could be one of those players who play better the faster the tempo is, he's electric.

 

[The Dustbin]

According to Cal Twomey, Fejo has also received interest to train with the Suns.

 

[faible]

According to Cal Twomey, Fejo has also received interest to train with the Suns.

If he takes up the GCS offer then we didn't want him anyway.

 

[Keystone agony]

Do suns still have a list spot?

 

[Towno78]

According to Cal Twomey, Fejo has also received interest to train with the Suns.

And told them to gagf?

 

[Yoda_]

Fejo is the perfect talent teams should be adding to their rookie lists, could be anything.

Also think he could be one of those players who play better the faster the tempo is, he's electric.

Fejo is the epitome of what the rookie list is about, not wasted, overpaid hacks like Jarad Polec because said club is poor at managing a list.

 

[Keystone agony]

Fejo is the epitome of what the rookie list is about, not wasted, overpaid hacks like Jarad Polec because said club is poor at managing a list.

Was it not a final shot at trying to have him on another list next year?

Quite a few clubs did similar from memory

 

[The Dustbin]

And told them to gagf?

You’d think so. Who would want to play for the plastics over a traditional ‘successful’ club?

 

[TheGrizz]

Doubt Fejo trains with us in the end.

His uncle is Joel Jeffrey (on GCS's list) and the two are apparently thick as thieves.

I didn't think they had the list spotnafter taking Constable, but hey *shrugs*

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

According to Cal Twomey, Fejo has also received interest to train with the Suns.
