Welcome to the Essendon Football Club, Nick Kommer!

Height: 184cm
Weight: 78kg
D/O/B: 28/9/1990
Position: Attacking Midfielder
Recruited From: East Perth

Key Strengths:
  • Solid tagger
  • Huge engine
  • Tough as nuts
  • DAT BEARD POTENTIAL
Weaknesses:
  • Inconsistency could be an issue
  • With short hair, looks like he's from Seinfeld
I don't know enough about Nick to form a solid opinion piece, but he is certainly a decent pick up. With Hocko's tagging role appearing to not be working for him, I believe we picked Kommer up to have him thrown into a tagging role- Just to see what happens.
I'm not entirely sure if he'll make it onto the AFL list in 2013, but we'll have to see.
Also, dat beard.

Its clear we target competitve, hate to lose, determined, hard workers, tough nut type players now under the new Hird/Thompson era.

I honestly dont think much of him, he did come on a bit this year and may have a good season next year. I think Lee is the better player although having said that Kommers personality seems like it could more make it at the next level. I wouldnt say hes an excellently skilled player or damaging. Hes more workman like and might be able to play on the best small forwards to some degree and be a tagger i dont see much more than that.

A few WA watchers rate Brendan Lee higher than Kommer, and yet we got rid of Lee.

Kommer had a good end to the year for Easts but he really lacks a weapon, for me he's a less polished version Howlett.

Think his size and attack on the footy is what got him a look in, I'd be surprised if he plays 50 or more games.

A bit of irony in that Brendan Lee gave him his number after he was drafted to the Bombers last year. Never seen him play but a ripping hard nosed kid apparently.
