Essendon Bombers Lyrics
See the Bombers shoot up, up!
To win the premiership flag,
Our boys who play this grand old game,
Are always striving for glory and fame!
See the bombers shoot up, up,
The other teams they don't fear,
They all try their best,
But they can't get near,
As the bombers shoot up!

Putting aside how Jacobs left the club, his tap work was among the best in the comp. Salivating imagining how much more amazing ROB will be!

I like that subtle little dig at the bottom of the article:Saints loving them some ex Crows...

I should say I'm probably being a tad harsh on Jones, as I'm optimistic about his chances of rebounding in 2021 seeing he looks like he's put some work into his body over the off-season, but he's coming from a long way back after his struggles last season. Though McHenry got bumped into the optimistic section based on the improvements to his body, but that's really the major flaw of Neds profile as he needs to be big enough to be a Zorko like player in the midfield.
Worrell enters the bit worried section because there is a really noticeable apathy around him at the moment. Borlase isn't a profile I'm that excited about to justify my position, though I can certainly see an AFL player in Borlase more readily then some profiles I am bullish about (i.e. Gollant, where my excitement is entirely from how much Adelaide keeps mentioning him as a player who is impressing).

You haven't mentioned Cook. I am optimistic about him, although he might be a boom or bust type of kid. Bit hard to tell after an explosive entry into the draft!
Change but they can't get near to

I like all those mids, though I'm curious about how we're going to fit them in.

I blame the list I was given
Though Cook is definitely in the optimistic category for me. Disappointed we're yet to hear anything, but it's too soon to be anything but, especially after his draft year.

I reckon he'd still be in the rehab group at this stageI blame the list I was given

A good of a reason as any.
Where's McAsey on that list?

Smack bang middle of optimistic.
I was pretty content with Fishs first season. He showed off a bit of flexibility, contested marking and cleanliness with the ball in hand, though his defence is all or nothing at the moment noting how much he likes front position. I am also a big fan of Fish liking the front position because I want him to be that type of key back that'll back himself to get the intercept, and I can live with the occasional goal that occurs if and when that kind of positioning fails. You can get the negating "Daniel Talia" type cheaply to compliment McAsey. Considering he was thrown to the wolves, playing all of those games in a side that was absolutely useless, he gets a pass for flashes. Collapsing during the 2km run is something I'm willing to ignore unless he looks genuinely unfit during the season.
Fish is certainly looking like the type of defender who'll be very hot and cold for 3-4 seasons, then overnight morph into one of the better key backs in the league. Mind you, if you offered me a mulligan on McAsey (or even a slight downgrade, say picks 7-10), I'd take it without much thought. That was way too much to spend on a key defender.
Speaking of ruckmen, is anyone else besides me still pretty surprised we kept strachan and frampton?
Frampton mightve been saved by his contract and might be good backup depending on how tilthorpe goes this year. Strachan tho, we must see something in him surely. He's pretty tall isn't he, 206 or something like that i reckon. I've seen in one of our pics that he was going to outdo ROB in a tap. If he can put some beef on but not lose running power he might end up being a really good tap ruckman.

Clarke was no slouch in the tap ruck business.
The question I have is Jacobs only helping due to Clarke absent due to Covid quarantine issues

Strachan should have been delisted last year and will be end of year imo. Frampton will be delisted once his contract finishes.

And our Ruck depth if ROB goes down is what exactly?
We didn't draft Thilthorpe to ruck.
