In order of importance

1. Outside mids
2. Forward depth
3. Midfield depth
4. Defensive depth


Our forward line is 1 or 2 small forwards away from being pretty good and we need another good midfielder to compliment Fyfe"

Losing Hill and Langdon makes young outside midfielders a priority
 
Small crumbing forward, key forward and pacey half back.
 
#1 a new coach
#2 fast paced, consistant, quality ball user, foot skills to compliment inside and outside midfielders
#3 a new utility since we will be losing Howard
#4 a quality link up half forward with quality hands and foot skills
#5 a key forward who can actually kick bags of goals each game.
#6 did i already say a new coach?
 
Onballers. We’ve spent big on outside types recently but our inside mid stocks are worrying and need a couple of potential A-graders.

Ruckmen are a significant problem too but need an option that is actually good and don’t think any of them are actually in our price range.

Would be very open to some half-back speed and carry. ATM only Lloyd can play that role that is kind of like this but is more of an accumulator.

Probably also a KPD with Grundy gone and Melican looking a possible bust.

Blokes who can kick, outside run, tall defender, small forwards
 
Essendon Needs

1. Inside clearance midfielder
2. Hard running/skilled wingman
3. Key Position Forward
4. Development ruck

Essendon gets;
flaky flanker
poorly skilled runner
third tall/mobile half back

A/ #11 Elite ball user with pace

B/ Big Bodied Mid, Small Forward, Tall Defender
 
- Pacy wingers/outside midfielders
- Tall forwards (1 x youngster, 1 x mature age preferably)
- Small forwards who know where the goals are
- General depth (we were exposed this year as having limited to no depth which was a large reason as to why we finished so low)

Will all depend on how many of these players we are linked to end up happening. Tomlinson & Langdon looking very likely which would somewhat eliminate the need for more wingers. Elliott and Murray the next two we're being linked to. Still think we've got something HUGE planned for that pick 3. GWS, WCE and FREM seem to be in need of a pick as high as possible.
