Wodonga forward Darren Bradshaw and North Albury ruckman Ash Eames have added their names to the league’s off-season exodus, applying for clearances from the O and M.
Bradshaw, one of the league’s most dangerous power forwards in his prime, is set to play in Kalgoorlie in the Goldfields Football League, while Eames will join the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League outfit Frankston YCW.
Bulldogs assistant coach Robbie Jackson said yesterday the club wished Bradshaw all the best in his move west.
“We didn’t try to talk him out of it, I think a move to WA will be good for him,” Jackson said.
“We wish him all the best ... he’s been a great player for us.
“He only played a couple of games last year so it won’t affect us that much ... Guy Telford has been chomping at the bit to play forward so he’ll get a chance up there.”
Eames, who was lured back to Bunton Park after three seasons with VFL club Frankston, endured a horror 2009.
The colossal ruckman had to sit out the first half of the year with a foot reconstruction and then succumbed to rib and thumb injuries later in the season.
