I'm not sure why Essendon wouldnt have drafted him as a rookie the year after he did that Scholarship there. He can still be rookied at the end of this year (age 22 I think) so who knows. He is certainly exciting to watch, and to kick 5 in the seniors was terrific on the back of a good VFL 2s game a fortnight earlier.ben.carbonaro said:Pete,
I don't really have much of an idea about how Ed came to us, am guessing Steve Koops might have had something to do with it.
Essendon are showing interest, as he played VFL for them when he was done in Victoria back in 2002 the same year he was awarded the Michael Long Scholarship.
It would be good if the Bulldogs did draft him as a mature age player and also he could stay at Werribee, he has become a bit of a cult figure down at the club. Rightly so, he is just magic when he gets hold the ball and dodges several players before he kicks a goal.
