Between the years of 2013 - 2016, Essendon had five separate coaches which were a result from the infamous supplement scandal, in that time they've turned over plenty of players to trades, de-listings and forced additions which were known as 'top-up' players.
All in all, they've done a pretty decent job at keeping big names players at their club, but we've managed to pick out a group of players who could've helped the Bombers collect their first finals win since 2004.
5. Jake Carlisle
After carving out 85 games and 54 goals with the Bombers as a swingman, Carlisle was traded to St Kilda in October 2015. He was forced to wait a year before putting on the red, white and black as he was part of the 33 banned players from his time at Essendon, but made up for lost time playing every game in 2017 as a defender. A terrific contested mark and defender, Carlisle still has many years left in him if he can get his body right.
