After spending three seasons with the Bendigo Bombers, Crameri was finally given a chance at senior football after strong rumours in 2008 that he would be drafted by Essendon.

In 2009, he was one of the few shining lights in a very dark year for the Bendigo Bombers who went through the season rooted to the bottom of the ladder and winless.

[3] Crameri has had a great 2011 season up forward for Essendon, kicking 34 goals and was the club's leading goalkicker.

On Thursday 24 October 2013, it was announced that Crameri had been traded from Essendon to the Western Bulldogs in exchange for pick number 26 in the National Draft.

He was suspended for two years which, with backdating, ended in November 2016; as a result, he served approximately fourteen months of his suspension and missed the entire 2016 AFL season,[6] including the Bulldogs' premiership win in October.
