Matthew Dea, a seasoned Australian rules footballer, has left an indelible mark on the field throughout his career. Born on 13 October 1991, Dea began his professional journey when he was drafted by Richmond as the 44th overall pick in the 2009 AFL Draft. Dea's debut against Melbourne in round 4 of the 2010 season showcased his immense talent and determination. His prowess on the field was further highlighted in 2015 when he clinched Richmond's VFL best and fairest award, a testament to his exceptional skills as a defender. Despite being delisted in October of the same year, Dea's resilience shone through as he signed with the Essendon Football Club in January 2016 as one of their top-up players during a challenging period for the club. Dea's contribution to Essendon did not go unnoticed, as he demonstrated unwavering commitment and skill throughout the 2016 season. His dedication and performance led to his re-signing with Essendon in November during the delisted free agency period, solidifying his place as a valuable asset to the team. Standing at 186 cm (6 ft 1 in) and weighing 85 kg (187 lb), Dea's presence on the field as a defender has been formidable. His journey from Richmond to Essendon is a testament to his resilience, talent, and unwavering passion for the game, making him a player to be remembered in Australian football history.
