Jaxon Prior

The discarded Brisbane defender and son of former Bomber Michael Prior was given a lifeline by Essendon on the first day of the supplemental selection period. Showed some promising signs in his first two years with the Lions, playing 30 games and a couple of finals, but fell out of favour as the team got stronger over the past two years, managing just nine appearances. Looking for a fresh start in the Bombers’ defence armed with a one-year contract.
