Jono and Ian go over the decisions the Essendon made in the 2024 trade period, what they mean for the club going into the draft and whether they could have been more aggressive. They also look ahead to the National Draft and look at what the Bombers will be adding in Isaac Kako. 

Jono and Ian present the Jack Kirby Medal, the Don The Stat best and Fairest Award for Essendon's 2024 season, as voted by the Hosts and Don The Stat Patrons. Who will take out this prestigous award?
