Taken at No. 6 in the 2003 National Draft, Essendon have decided Kepler Bradley is not up to AFL standard. Should have taken Freo’s offer of pick 40 or thereabouts. Given Essendon’s history of giving young players every chance to succeed at the highest level, I’m stunned at this decision. I’d be interested to hear from Bomber fans. Why has Kepler struggled? What are his weaknesses? Has he had any discipline issues? At 21 y.o I think he’ll get another chance at another club. Any thoughts?

I thought he was worth sticking with…

Bombers recruiting department in the last few years need to be shot though!

Ever since Noel Judkins left Essendon …...

i think it is a pretty poor decision by essendon to delist and not trade they are losing out look at some of the good players that have come from lower picks in the draft i think there were better ways of doing things rather than delisting him he is only 21 with a lot of years to go and hasn’t fully matured as a footballer yet

If Jarred Brennan doesn’t go in the Pre-season draft, I think Richmond will take a chance with him.
