Hope this is the right thread.
Nice job with Smith, saad and stringer.
You guys will be very fun to watch next year...speed all over the park. Will easily be the paciest team in the afl.
I'm interested to see which way things go...whether essendons speed and run overwhelmes and breaks open some teams, or if your smaller bodies especially in the midfield and perhaps lack of inside mids will hurt.
Saw article on afl website today say essendon have a very small midfield with Smith, Merritt, parish, McGrath etc. Heppell one of the only bigger body mids.
But watching the rebound with mckenna, kicking to McGrath, handball to the running saad, pass to Smith, over the top to tippa to kick to fantasia running into goal will be sublime!
We should be fine enough with Heppell, Myers, BJ, Myers all in there, whilst Langford should be allowed more midfield minutes after an initial development year as an inside mid.
If anything, it appears we are looking to break open teams from behind the ball as we did in 2017.
