Bombers rebuild continues as they take damaging left-footer as mid-season No.1

Essendon picked running defender Jaxon Artemis at No.1 in the 2026 mid-season rookie draft Wednesday, beginning their post-Brad Scott era. The 19-year-old left-footer has impressed with Tasmania Devils in the VFL after joining from South Fremantle's 2025 premiership side. Artemis could debut this week after being overlooked in two previous drafts despite earning WA's under-18 MVP award.
