Essendon have stuffed up the draft

Essendon have had middling success for years now, having made the finals two of the past three seasons, but trading in a very proactive and aggressive way that is associated with a club inside their premiership window.

The decade that was: Fremantle Dockers

After a horrid 2009 season that resulted in a bottom-three finish, Fremantle bounced back with a strong start to the 2010 decade, advancing to the semi-finals before a heavy defeat from Geelong.
