Cheers mate, fair calls. Hopefully we strengthen our draft hand and add some talented young guns. Together with the young talent we have in waiting, will be crucial to how we attack 2025 and beyond
Great video. Think if Reid can't stay fit next year we need to start looking at Hayes as that guy. If we don't give Hayes a crack and Reid doesn't pan out, we might lose both.
Lewis Hayes will be able to play a heap of games next year. I am most optimistic for Luamon Lual, we tried him forward and I think he could be like walla if we give him enough opportunity.
The fact that Hayes could stay on the park all season is a major plus. The amount of players drafted that end up with long term injuries is a big problem. Bodies that can stand up is a real plus.
We need to keep Baldwin & Weideman imo. Reid on his last chance next year. Hayes still a bit of an unknown for me; needs another big pre season in the gym. Give Lual time; seems to get to the ball but needs to be better at disposal. Very disappointed with Jayden. Alwyn very very lucky to be there still too imo. Just not strong enough. Vigo shows a lot of promise, and you nailed it with the summary. El-Hawli an excitment machine. Shows passion and commitment and involves the crowd.
@@ryanjames6831, neither are a number of senior players on what they showed last season. He is handy as a reserves player though to help the young lads up.
We must sign weederman long term he showed in his last game against the swans he could be a genuine AA defender. Hope we sign him before other clubs pounce.
I don’t buy into this too skinny too slim you aren’t ready to play if you’re not a premiership contending team. we played Daniher skinny too slim so was fletcher another great too skinny too slim, sheedy played guys off talent that’s when we were great. This is what the club has fed us all these excuses it’s ridiculous. I just think about all the good full backs now Sam Taylor got drafted and played 8 games his first year and 22 the next season although he wasn’t as slim as Hayes they were Both still raw now look at him. Another example Harris andrews very very similar framed to Hayes he played 19 games his first season and 17 the next. Essendon seem to have this ‘apprenticeship’ style about being in the vfl for a few years and it just doesn’t work it slows development you’re playing under a different coach different environment and different system. Caddy was another example he should’ve been playing rd 1. We wasted games playing weideman, Kelly, menzie etc. Heppell was fine because he was actually decent when he played.
@@everythingessendon548 Check out his Highlights there is not much to brag about and from what I have seen I still rate him around a late 3rd round to early 4 round

Need to nail our draft picks

Zach Reid desperately needs to stay fit if he wants another contract
@@everythingessendon548Brad Scott is on record saying we’re persisting with Reid as long as it takes

I didn't like him that much up forward but maybe I was missing something that you were seeing, if he can be close to Walla I would be happy
won't come close to walla, he has no aggression at the ball which walla had in spades

@@darcy4487 aggression can be taught.
@@everythingessendon548 yeah that’s fair I think it’s still his first year. It’s a matter of giving the players the confidence to be assertive
Thanks mate, looking forward to your next vid. Maybe a vid on which girls you see getting a run with our guys. LOL
@@aussie_al The girls at least play with a bit of heart, they are a lot easier to follow than the men right now
Hayes and Vigo will be guns.👏
Vigo brother is a gun tio
Saad El-hawli shows lots of promise. 👍

Weidman is not even close to afl standard.

Visentini will probably break into the side in 12 months time side if Draper leaves in free agency at the end next season.
Possibly ready by 2026, but a long way to go

Sarcasm surely
He’s in discussions with the Cats to hold up their defence. Shrewd from the cats

Ridley was injured so was Reid but we play laverde even though we weren’t even going to offer him a contract 😂
Imagine the confidence though of Hayes even getting a couple games and he played a couple good games for us it would’ve done wonders for the kid
I’m not saying he should’ve been playing every game but he definitely deserved 3-4 surely
Yeah this too skinny stuff is a joke. Players won’t learn any experience or technical ability while at the gym bulking.
Our small forwards are so bad I would beg Leroy jetta to come back
i reckon luamon lual will be a really good player in our afl side once he develops
Why is Nate Caddy called the horse
Can't wait to see hays fletch 2.0 I think he will be
Agreed, looks a really decent player
Alwyn doesn't seem to be any better than Jayden and has an extra year under him. Why not delist him as well?
Has showed a lot more than Jayden in my opinion, worth giving him another year as we are really lacking up forward.
Big IF
Peter Wright🤔
Wasn’t Tex delisted?
JAYDEN DOES NOT HAVE IT LET HIM GO DONT LIKE HIM
He will probably be delisted
Davey twins will never play afl again, they are both Bin
Kato is not that good you would be better off waiting to see if he slips down the order, I would place him around a late 3rd to early round 4 pick.
Not sure about that at all, he is one of the very best small forwards in the draft, if not the best.
@@everythingessendon548 Check out his highlights not much to brag about

Who is Kato lol 😅 I think he means kako
@@josephfailla3955 Kato was in Man from UNCLE i think?
