@@Alby911 my point is about putting four quarters together against teams we know we should beat. West coast aren’t that far off North if your being objective. They’ve won the same amount of games over the last few years. Slight better list but nothing that should worry a team with the expectations of Essendon. I understand your point but the difference isn’t as great as your making it out to be in my humble opinion. Go bombers!!

That means we will win by 83 this time around.

It's scary to think that we might be 2nd on the ladder by end of this round. As we are expected to beat North Melbourne easily. Who would have predicted that? Finally, Essendon think tank decided to bring in Nick Bryan and Nate Caddy into the side. With Draper undergoing surgery and won't be available for at least 6 to 8 weeks, placing him on a long-term injury list makes more sense. He may be available by round 18 but would still be underdone due to long-term injury. Draper is going to be a no 1 ruckman for going forward. But he didn't set the world on fire this season. He may be playing with injury and probably the reason he was finally gone under the knife. By placing him on long term, which will mean Essendon will be able to pick up another gem from the mid-season draft and also play Nick Bryan, who is on form. I know there will be verbal brickbats thrown at me for my comments. My comments are based on what is good for our team.
