Reading from afl site conditions of Essendon top up players for this season only. It seems they need to have been on an AFL list in last two seasons. As I play a few fantasy games for a number of years I had a look through the lists to come up with list of players I could find on AFL lists in 2014 and 2015 that no longer with an AFL club. Amazing how much turnover there is on AFL lists when you find over 200 players no longer on 18 clubs lists. I am expecting players like Sam Dwyer , Jarryd Cachia, Johnathon Simpkin, Josh Glenn. Mitch Golby, Tony Armstrong, Spencer White, Mark Austin, Scott McMahon, Mark Jamar and Essendon VFL listed player to be main candidates likely to be available. Battersby, James ADE Graham, Angus ADE Johnston, Lewis ADE Martin, Brodie ADE Osborn, Jack ADE Petrenko, Jared ADE Podsiadly, James ADE Porplyzia, Jason ADE Siggins, Sam ADE Spina, Alex ADE Thompson, Luke ADE Wilson, Anthony ADE Bourke, Jordan BRL Conway, Isaac BRL Golby, Mitch BRL Hayes, Nicholas BRL Lisle, Jordan BRL Maguire, Matt BRL McGrath, Ashley BRL McGuane, Luke BRL Michael, Sam BRL O'Brien, Zac BRL Polkinghorne, James BRL Raines, Andrew BRL Staker, Brent BRL Wearden, Patrick BRL Bootsma, Josh CAR Cachia, Jaryd CAR Carrazzo, Andrew CAR Ellard, David CAR Fields, Tom CAR Giles, Cameron CAR Holman, Nick CAR Johnson, Blaine CAR Judd, Chris CAR McInnes, Andrew CAR McLean, Brock CAR Reynolds, Luke CAR Russell, Fraser CAR Scotland, Heath CAR Temay, Tom CAR Walsh, Bradley CAR Warnock, Robert CAR Watson, Matthew CAR Abbott, Brenden COL Armstrong, Tony COL Ball, Luke COL Clarke, Marty COL Dwyer, Sam COL Hudson, Ben COL Karnezis, Patrick COL Lynch, Quinten COL Manteit, Michael COL Martin, Kyle COL Maxwell, Nick COL Mooney, Caolan COL Yagmoor, Peter COL Young, Clinton COL Aylett, Kurt ESS Dalgleish, Lauchlan ESS Gregory, Sean ESS Kavanagh, Elliott ESS O'Brien, Nick ESS Rayner, Johnny ESS Thurlow, Fraser ESS Van Unen, Dylan ESS Ballard, Jacob FRE Blakeley, Connor FRE Crowley, Ryan FRE Duffield, Paul FRE Duffy, Max FRE McPharlin, Luke FRE Moller, Craig FRE Simpson, Joshua FRE Sylvia, Colin FRE Vandeleur, Tom FRE Wood, Michael FRE Bourke, Nick GEE Burbury, George GEE Hartman, Brad GEE Kelly, James GEE McIntosh, Hamish GEE Schroder, Jordan GEE Sheringham, Jackson GEE Stokes, Mathew GEE Stringer, Jesse GEE Toohey, James GEE Allen, Jackson GCS Bock, Nathan GCS Boston, Andrew GCS Broughton, Greg GCS Downie, Tyrone GCS Ellis, Jarred GCS Hall, Josh GCS Herbert, Louis GCS Hutchins, Jack GCS Glenn, Josh GCS Murphy, Thomas GCS Osborne, Leigh GCS Sumner, Tim GWS Taylor, Jeremy GWS Warnock, Matthew GWS Addison, Dylan GWS Gilham, Stephen GWS Hunt, Josh GWS Pickett, Jarrod GWS Schulz, Sam GWS Garlett, Dayle HAW Grimley, Sam HAW Hale, David HAW Hardisty, Jared HAW Kelly, Jordan HAW Lake, Brian HAW Ross, Ben HAW Sewell, Brad HAW Simpkin, Jonathan HAW Wanganeen, Derick HAW Bail, Rohan MEL Barry, Dom MEL Blease, Sam MEL Byrnes, Shannon MEL Clisby, Mitchell MEL Cross, Daniel MEL Evans, Michael MEL Georgiou, Alexis MEL Jamar, Mark MEL McKenzie, Jordie MEL Nicholson, Daniel MEL Riley, Aidan MEL Strauss, James MEL Tapscott, Luke MEL Adams, Leigh NTH Anthony, Liam NTH Curran, Tom NTH Grima, Nathan NTH Harper, Kieran NTH Hine, Taylor NTH McGenniss, Tim NTH McMahon, Scott NTH Wallace, Eric NTH Warren, Max NTH Wilkins, Mitchell NTH Cassisi, Domenic PTA Cornes, Kane PTA Flynn, Daniel PTA Harvey, Mitch PTA Heath, Campbell PTA Hitchcock, Cameron PTA Logan, Tom PTA Redden, Jarrad PTA Russell, Sam PTA Shaw, Mason PTA Stevenson, Lewis PTA Wagner, Johann PTA Arnot, Matthew RIC Darrou, Ben RIC Edwards, Aaron RIC Foley, Nathan RIC Gordon, Nathan RIC Helbig, Brad RIC Jackson, Daniel RIC King, Jake RIC Knights, Chris RIC McDonough, Matthew RIC Newman, Chris RIC O'Hanlon, Brett RIC Petterd, Ricky RIC Stephensen, Orren RIC Williams, Cadeyn RIC Dennis-Lane, Trent STK Dunell, Samuel STK Jones, Clinton STK Maister, Beau STK Markworth, Daniel STK Milera, Terry STK Saad, Ahmed STK Schneider, Adam STK Simpkin, Tom STK Siposs, Arryn STK White, Spencer STK Goodes, Adam SYD Lockyer, Jordan SYD McLaren, Sean SYD Mitchell, Patrick SYD O'Keefe, Ryan SYD Perris, Lloyd SYD Pyke, Mike SYD Roberts-Thomson, Lewis SYD Shaw, Rhyce SYD Walsh, Tommy SYD Carter, Adam WCE Cox, Dean WCE Glass, Darren WCE Maginness, Will WCE Main, Dylan WCE Powell, Rowen WCE Smith, Ashley WCE Waters, Beau WCE Wilson, Blayne WCE Austin, Mark WBD Cordy, Ayce WBD Darley, Sam WBD Fuller, Matthew WBD Giansiracusa, Daniel WBD Goodes, Brett WBD Greenwood, Alex WBD Howard, Christian WBD Pearce, Daniel WBD Williams, Tom WBD Young, Tom WBD
Supercoach info will be revealed more on Monday but so far read this tonight. ESSENDON TOP-UPS So far, the Bombers have announced Ryan Crowley and James Kelly and the likes of Jonathan Simpkin, Matt Dea and James Polkinghorne aren’t far away. Crowley’s return hurts the likes of SuperCoach favourites Ablett, Mitchell and Harvey. On a positive note, he should free Craig Bird from a possible tagging role, which is very good news. Kelly would be an interesting option given he could possibly see significant time in the midfield. However, he averaged 76 last year with Geelong and would not be any cheaper. Finally, if the Bombers do sign VFL best and fairest winner James Polkinghorne he would likely come at a rookie price after being delisted by Brisbane in 2014.
Actually, it was a surprise Freo didn't pick him up last year as a rookie. Did well playing WAFL for their team at that level (Peel Thunder).
