List Mgmt. Welcome Campbell Chesser (Pick 14, 2021 National Draft)

[JordanWCE]

ATHLETIC BACKGROUND

 

[Wild Kelly]

Nice plucked and manicured eyebrows! Doubt Cole will like him.

 

[Nuke Fremantle]

This is getting better and better...

The pick swap we did with Port dropped us 2 places in the 1st round meaning that we missed out on this guy.

Pick 13: Essendon selects Ben Hobbs

The best pure contested midfielder in the draft, Ben Hobbs will be ready to go for round one. He's an absolute unit, hunting the ball and the body with absolute ferocity 100% of the time.

Hobbs is a natural leader, a future captain of any AFL club. The Bombers have a mega bargain here at pick 13.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

And his preferred position is half back. Perfect!

 

[kaII]

The most West Coast pick of all time.

Hope he delivers in spades. Unfortunately we need to find someone who offers more than being a reliable 200 game player, so he may have that pressure on him somewhat.

 

[dkalphy]

Lmao i'm done with our list management, ain't no way we didn't draft a midfield.

 

[MaxHunt]

Spoke really well on the broadcast. Seems stoked to be picked and joining the Eagles. Welcome!

 

[BigManTyrone3942]

Man I hope I can come back here in several months time and laugh at how wrong we all were

 

[mick06]

Uuuggghhh


Not his fault so welcome Cheshire....a

But uuuugggghhhhhh

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

Ticks a

Ticks all the boxes against our shortcomings

Except contested ball, tackling and being able to get on the park

 

[Obeanie1]

If people want to whinge go somewhere else.

Welcome aboard Campbell. Hope you enjoy a great career at the Eagles

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Best outcome is if he becomes a quality winger.
Dunno if he has the defensive traits to replace Shep or Hurn.

It's that Nick Reiwoldt?

Ben Hobbs does seem like the type to become homesick.

 

[footballfreak]

The last thing we need is a half back flanker. And we got ourselves a half back flanker.

 

[Dylan82]

Welcome Chestnut - may your time at the Eagles be long and incredibly successful.

Except we didnt swap 2nds, we added Ports F2 and retained ours.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Looks decent in an Eagles guernsey I guess.

 

[RookiePick]

Not the kids fault but seriously. * this club.

We have seriously lost our way if we think this type of player is what we need.

 

[Off Tap]

Welcome Campbell, you're already my favourite draftee for 2021.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Needs to improve his tackling?

probably already our best

 

[bUCKET__]

We've been one of the worst rebounding sides in the league for a couple of years now, and every second melt in a game day thread is about our slow stagnant ball movement from the back half. Whilst Hobbs was my dream get and I hate that we passed him up, I can definitely see the need for a player like Chesser.

 

[Mulldogg]

Had my moment to melt (and it was a decent melt at that) but I’m prepared to get around Chesser now he’s one of us.

But prima facie this looks like another bemusing move after a couple of seasons which have left a lot to be desired both on and off field.

At least tell me all of our players have now had at least one jab or something to bring a bit more positivity. Sigh…
