For the second year in the row, Don The Stat brings you the countdown no one asked for. This year we're counting our way down the 100 Days leading up to our 2025 Opening Round clash against the Gold Coast Suns with our Best 100 Essendon players since 1980.
The criteria is simple. We have judged players on their performances for Essendon since 1980, and discounted what they might have done before then or at other clubs. Someone like Ken Fletcher, who had a stellar career but played 253 of his 264 games for Essendon prior to 1980 didn't make the cut. Nor did great players like Mal Michael and Paul Chapman who played their best footy elsewhere and had mere cameos at the Dons.
So here goes. You can click on the name to listen to our Podcast tribute.
We'll update this page daily as we go -
