🚨 KIDEY COLEMAN IS A BOMBER! ❤️🖤
Essendon has secured Keidean Coleman and pick 25 from Brisbane in exchange for picks 21 and 27 in the dying minutes of the trade period.
It's a move seven years in the making after Essendon first bid on Kiddy in the 2019 National Draft, only for Brisbane to match.
At his best, Coleman is one of the most damaging ball users off half-back in the competition. His elite left foot, speed, agility and ability to take the game on are exactly what our defence has been crying out for!
His 2023 Grand Final performance was outstanding. He finished runner-up in the Norm Smith Medal after collecting a game-high 23 kicks and also finished second in the Gary Ayres Medal for the best player across the finals series.
Injuries have cruelled his career since, including an ACL rupture in 2024 and further setbacks in 2025. But he returned to AFL football in 2026 and now gets a fresh start at the Bombers.
Matt Rosa made it clear the club was aligned on getting the deal done, and Kiddy is excited about the opportunity to play for Essendon.
We get a genuine difference-maker in an area where we desperately need better ball movement, and we also get pick 25 back.
Welcome to the Hangar, Kiddy! Can't wait to see that left foot in the red and black.
