Nick Bryan

Having been starved of opportunities with only 19 games in his first five years with Essendon, the 23-year-old is back in the mix after a strong finish to the 2024 season which saw ruck duties shared with Sam Draper. Out of contract this year, he has a big chance to add some zeroes to his next deal.

Honours

R.A Freeman Medal (Essendon VFL B&F) (2021).
