Over the years players have been forced to come and go from Windy Hill during the trade period due to Salary Cap restrictions. Some young players have started their careers at Essendon and other older players have come and resurrected their careers with the Bombers. Some of these trades have been highly successful for Essendon, including the trade that saw Sean Wellman and Paul Barnard come to Essendon, Paul Salmon go to Hawthorn and Darren Jarman to Adelaide. We want you to pull your Crystal Ball out and tell us which of the following will turn out to be the best trade decision?
a) Ricky Olarenshaw for (pick 9) Adam Ramanauskas

Overall the Essendon fans we extremely pleased with David Hille’s season. They felt he thoroughly deserved his Most Improved Player award and 2003 was by far his best season at the club. The Bomber fans were happy with Hille’s marking around the ground and his ability to float forward and kick a goal. They believe he needs to continue to work on this ruck skills and improve his effectiveness at stoppages next season. Hille was awarded a ranking of 7.10/10 by the fans.
