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.

3. Michael Hibberd

Yet another play who excelled directly after he moved clubs, Hibberd had a stellar first season (2017) at Melbourne earning himself an All-Australian jacket. The defender averaged 27 disposals and seven rebound 50's that year, but hasn't been able to emulate his award-winning season since. Although he's been subject to some purple patches over the years, Hibberd has come a long way since being selected with the fourth pick in the 2011 pre-season draft.
