I like many other Essendon supporters am optimistic about our season ahead, but I want to pick at 2 nagging problems that I have.
Ruck division – Laycock and Hille have the potential to be the best ruck duo in the competition especially with there ability to go forward. I personally believe that Laycock showed a lot of good signs this year and will be the number one ruck next year, but he is not there yet. Hille is lethargic and looks great one game and hopeless the next, he is a big risk each game he plays because sometimes we go out there with 21 players because of him. This pair will have a lot to do with our standing with in the competition at the end of the year.
Mcphee – what happened to this bloke? Was it the proxocide? Was it all the time doing his hair and looking in the mirror? He went from a bloke who use to refuse to come off the ground because he was such a competitor to the fairy he has become(im not questioning him having time on the bench because it’s the modern game but the shift in his desire to play alla 2003) On the surface he has the perfect build great kick strong mark and is athletic but he plays as a running half back who plays along the boundary lines going throughout the whole game without contact and using his foot which can kick and penetrate 60m to send passes 11m. I hope new coach and new position changes him.
