Despite the last 14 years of mediocrity the Essendon Football Club have still produced some electrifying talent.
Though they have not been able to produce finals wins during this time, fans such as myself have loved watching these 10 Bombers stars don the red and black in the past 12 years.
It may sound crazy, but this list dates back to my six-year-old brain watching the Essendon 2012 season and falling in love with the heroes taking the field so that season is where this list starts.
Whether it be Anzac Day masterclasses, Dreamtime specials or lighting up the roof at Docklands, these Bombers have stood out over the last 14 years to me.
Players like Cale Hooker, Paddy Ryder, Jake Stringer and Brendon Goddard are unlucky not to make this list and others such as Nic Martin & Sam Durham have the potential to be at the top of this list in a few years time.
So here are my top 10 Essendon Bombers of the past 14 years.
7Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti
The cult hero. 'Tippa' earns his place on this list for being the face of the club throughout the late 2010s and giving fans a bit of excitement and light.
Some of the goals that he kicked were just spectacular and Essendon could always rely on him to kick a goal from anywhere on the ground at any point in the game and also to chase down any player on the ground with his electrifying tackles.
Despite never earning all Australian honours 'Tippa' was the perfect small forward that the fans and the team loved.
