Why Suns midfielder fills an important need at Essendon

Essendon is set to sign Brayden Fiorini after he knocked back rival interest to make the move to Victoria.

While Fiorini is a free agent, the Bombers will look to trade for the Suns midfielder to protect the value of the compensation pick awarded following Sam Draper’s move to Brisbane.
