Langford/Cooney - Ryder
He is great at this level but he doesn't have the game for the big leagues. He gets beaten badly in one on ones (even at VFL level) unless the ball to the forward is 50/50 or worse. He positions himself well to cut of a lot of entries but he's ultimately a poor mans Hooker without the tools to stand an AFL level key or even mid forward.
Doubt it. Doesn't have the mobility.Could he make it forward? (where he played when recruited)

I can't see any links on the Essendon, VFL or Channel 7 sites.Is there any way to watch the replay of this match?
No, didn't play. Unsure why- presumably either an injury of some sort or he's being managed back in because of his pre-season injury.Did Pears not play yesterday? I decided to be parentally present yesterday so missed the game.
Pears was nowhere to be seen. No mention as to why either.Did Pears not play yesterday? I decided to be parentally present yesterday so missed the game.

Gets beaten one on one because he is always asked to play on blokes 4,5 6 7 8 cm taller as we have no one else up to it. When he gets the right match up he is rarely beaten one on one. His problem is where does he fit in the side as at top level he can not be the tall defender. Was drafted as a half forward who may end up a midfielder so who knows. All i know is he is a top line VFL player who did ok in the few senior games he played in a role that was always going to be hard for him giving away height.
Personally i would like to see more at senior level before making my mind up but who knows if that is going to happen.
Aylett. had a closer look at him this week as his numbers surprised a bit last week. Very good small defender, not as much of the ball this week but his focus was more on his defense. Uses the ball very well most of the time. Could make a very good run with player in time.
Do you have any idea if he will get the chance or how he is viewed internally?
