After a promising start to the season Essendon found themselves second on the ladder with a record of 8 wins and 1 loss (which was by a single point). The season then took an unexpected turn which saw Essendon lose 10 out of the last 13 games and miss the finals. They became the first club to have an 8–1 record and miss finals since Melbourne in the 1971 season. Prior to the final round vice-captain Mark McVeigh announced his retirement from football after 14 season and 232 games at the club. After the Home and Away season completed Essendon captain Jobe Watson was awarded the Brownlow Medal. The highest individual accolade in the AFL. This was later handed back following the drug scandal. The season became notorious for the illegal supplements program that was operated by the club prior to and into the 2012 season. After a three-year investigation, thirty-four players on the 2012 squad were suspected to have been administered the banned peptide Thymosin beta-4 and were suspended for the 2016 season.http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-01-12/guilty-court-bans-the-essendon-34-for-2016 Guilty: court bans the Essendon 34 for 2016 Travis King 12 January 2016 12 January 2016 Australian Football League Squad Essendon Football Club black white black white Playing list, Coaching staff 20 October 2012 Senior list 2 Ricky Dyson 3 Scott Gumbleton 4 Jobe Watson (c) 5 Brent Stanton 6 Angus Monfries 7 Leroy Jetta 8 Jason Winderlich 9 Brent Prismall 10 Mark McVeigh (vc) (vet) 11 David Zaharakis 12 Stewart Crameri 14 Sam Lonergan 15 Courtenay Dempsey 16 Tayte Pears 17 Jake Melksham 18 Michael Hurley 19 David Hille (vc) (vet) 20 Henry Slattery 21 Dyson Heppell 22 Jake Carlisle 23 David Myers 24 Alex Browne 25 Ariel Steinberg 26 Cale Hooker 27 Luke Davis 28 Elliott Kavanagh 29 Alwyn Davey 30 Paddy Ryder 31 Dustin Fletcher (vet) 32 Travis Colyer 33 Jackson Merrett 34 Kyle Hardingham 35 Nick O'Brien 37 Kyle Reimers 38 Michael Ross 39 Heath Hocking 40 Ben Howlett 42 Nathan Lovett-Murray 43 Michael Hibberd 44 Tom Bellchambers Rookie List 13 Anthony Long 36 Lauchlan Dalgleish 41 Brendan Lee 45 Hal Hunter 46 Mark Baguley 47 Cory Dell'Olio James Hird Mark Thompson (senior assistant) Sean Wellman (defensive structure) Simon Goodwin (midfield structure) Matthew Egan (forward structure) James Byrne (development) Rick Ladson (development) Hayden Skipworth (VFL coach) (vet) Veterans list Trades 2011 AFL Draft#Trades 2011 AFL Trades In Player Traded From Traded To Traded ForNone Out Player Traded From Traded To Traded For Victoria Josh Jenkins Draft pick No. 41 Essendon Adelaide Draft pick No. 31 Drafts 2011 AFL Draft National Draft Round Pick Name From League 1 19 Victoria Elliott Kavanagh Western Jets TAC Cup 2 31 Victoria Jackson Merrett Geelong Falcons TAC Cup 3 59 Victoria Nick O'Brien North Ballarat Rebels TAC Cup 4 75 Victoria Stewart Crameri Rookie Promotion Rookie Draft Round Pick Name From League 1 11 Victoria Lauchlan Dalgleish North Ballarat Rebels TAC Cup 2 29 Western Australia Cory Dell'Olio South Fremantle WAFL 3 47 Victoria Mark Baguley Frankston VFL 4 46 Victoria Hal Hunter Calder Cannons TAC Cup 5 78 Western Australia Brendan Lee East Perth WAFL 6 85 Victoria Anthony Long Essendon AFL Pre-Season Draft Round Pick Name From LeagueNo Picks Delisted SeasonsNote4 s s Player 4 Darcy Daniher 4 Jay Neagle 2 Mark Williams 3 Michael Quinn 3 Tyson Slattery 2 Taite Silverlock 1 James Webster = Retired Guernsey auto Standard Home Away Special Versions Anzac Dreamtime at the 'G Clash for Cancer Heritage Heritage Round(s) Worn 5 Round(s) Worn 8 Round(s) Worn 13 Round(s) Worn 15 Round(s) Worn 16, 22 Heritage Guernsey On 2 July unveiled their Heritage Guernsey.
