Essendons New Draftees - A Profile on each player

[Andrew Lovett]

Angus Monfries
Is a classic midfielder who wins plenty of the ball and doesnt waste any disposals. Was recorded running about 15 km one game and definetley works hard for his posessions, has pace and can kick goals aswel.Was an AFL/AIS Graduate and played well for Australia against Ireland. Looks like a player of the future and hails from Walkerville/Sturt


Andrew Lee
Is a tall Centre Half Forward who stands at 195 cm and is a strong mark who will always give a contest. He is a good set shot for goal and he has very good recovery skills and is a good leader ( Captained Tasmania 2003,2004 )
Performed brilliantly in the Agility test at the Draft Camp. Looks like a good prospect but has to work on his Consistency

Henry Slattery
Is a classy wingman with good hands,pace and reads the play very well and already has senior experience by playing 7 games in the seniors for West Adelaide. He is a left footer and is physically ready to play AFL Footy. Has been likened to Gary O Donnel.

Paul Thomas
Won the Magarey Medal as best player in the Sanfl and he has worked his Arse off to get back onto an AFL list (Previously on Adelaides Rookie List ) and he said himself he knows he is ready to play AFL. Paul has good pace and loves to run the ball out of defence, he is also a very good tackler and definetley will get a game next year

Well.....apart from the fact that none of us will see them play for 3 months. We can all write what we've heard or read about them, but WTF cares about that?

That's right...people who treat Wisbey's Wafflings as the Bible of TAC football.
