I'm assuming this is a drunken bait thread (Essendons resurgence isn't unprecedented at all, WCE made a prelim in 2011 after a spoon in 2010, Essendon haven't even secured finals) but I'll bite.
Essendon are one A grade inside mid and a couple solid B grade mids (Think Dom Tyson level) from challenging for a flag. Probably need a medium forward too but I really rate their list.
I think our midfield will be fine TBH, it's just a year or two off.
Next year the core rotation will be:
Heppell (25), Zach Merrett (21), Zaharakis (27), Parish (20), McGrath (19), Myers (28), Bird (28), Colyer (25) with Tippa (24) and Fantasia (21) rolling through.
We've got a few good kids coming through in Langford (20), Laverde (21) and Mutch (19) who have shown a bit at both AFL and VFL level. My expectation is that Langford and Laverde will gradually push Myers and Bird out of the rotation, they're big bodied kids (both 6'3") who should come of age over the next 18 months. Begley (19) is a big, competitive beast who also looks like he could roll through the midfield and do some damage.
We need to find some rebound off the half back line to replace Pops Kelly (retired) and McGrath who will move up to a wing but other than that the list is in reasonable nick. Dodoro and Keane have done a great job with very limited draft resources over the last few years.
Ambrose, Hurley, Bellchambers, Daniher, Hooker is a really good spine and we have tall depth with Mitch Brown, James Stewart, Aaron Francis, Mick Hartley.
