I have hope that the ‘rising tide’ caused by Kako that we will see improvement in our listed smalls. I have hope that Menzie can get back to where he looked like he was going at the end of 2023.
I'm loving the video's have faith in draft night thinking its going to very interesting to see what we can do for defensive depths I'm not so worried yet about the forwards dursma caddy kako elhaui even so excited for next year think we will all be super suprised go bombers ❤🖤
Im going way too early here .....but we have another small forward Essendon NGA coming through next year: Hussein el achkar, kicked 5 goals as a under ager this year in a Coates under 18 game, looked sharp
Felix, do you know any indigenous small forwards in the draft? Is there any player who reminds you of Tippa? Looking forward to your comments. Didn't know how that meme ended up with my comments. I apologise. It was never my intention to put such a thing.
We need Kako and a running half back. A tall forward to replace Stringer would be nice. Give Caddy a chance. Don’t see that we have the draft capital to do it all.
@ I think so too but if Anderson is there on draft day - who knows. Could be undrafted players as depth. Stands to be interesting and exciting either way. Got my eye on next year already.
@ Anderson & Caddy plus Kako? I’ll take it 👍 Plus two in the top 10 next year ahead of Tassie? Essendon’s draft hand is underrated. Richmond are in the box seat but Rosa has done a great job so far. Carlton sold the farm for pick 3. Richmond might make them pay.
There has been way too much expectations put on Kako and supporters need to relax.....let's not put undue pressure on the kid coz it can ruin a youngster, (jack watts) I know he's good but let's stop acting like he's a 10+ year player before he is even contracted to essendon
I would stick with Kako only and just try to see where Menzie, Alwyn, guelfi and gresham land at the end of next year. If we were to trade back in for a first rounder I’d go with another key positional player. Defense or forward.
Small forwards seem to be the way is going presently. Sounds like a few there to consider. We do lack in that department currently.
Kako will help spruce things up at least
I have hope that the ‘rising tide’ caused by Kako that we will see improvement in our listed smalls. I have hope that Menzie can get back to where he looked like he was going at the end of 2023.
Hopefully Davey takes the next step as well
@everythingessendon548, if he can bring tackling pressure and nail set shots from turnovers, he'll be awesome.
If we were to trade back in I wouldn’t mind it being for berry
Looks a very good player

Plenty of good defensive options this draft

I think if he comes through writing is on the wall for Menzies and or Davey
Definitely a later draft option next year!
Do you think Dattoli could be available pick 30ish?
Possibly! It’s tough to judge that 20-40 range.
I'd call them forward pockets or half forwards. Collective noun - forward flankers?
Forward pockets in the case of Kako, forward flankers for Berry
Could the club look to bring on Oscar smart after a big preseason.
Could potentially train as an SSP option

Not really that we can get to be honest. Malakai Champion and Ricky Mentha are linked to other clubs unfortunately
We can never replace Tippa, my favourite player since Hirdy
We need Kako and a running half back. A tall forward to replace Stringer would be nice. Give Caddy a chance. Don’t see that we have the draft capital to do it all.
We will be able to draft in 3-4 players outside of Kako I reckon!
@ I think so too but if Anderson is there on draft day - who knows. Could be undrafted players as depth. Stands to be interesting and exciting either way. Got my eye on next year already.
@ could trade for pick 18. Two first rounders next year likely in the top 10.

We still getting kako?
Yep! He’ll be at Essendon
Alger looks about 12 years old!
Definitely doesn’t play like it

You won’t like my next video then 😂

Yeah fair enough, despite having a poor forward line we do have lots of younger small forwards that can hopefully improve
@ our forward line up isnt terrible. We just need to reorganise and accept that we will probably go backwards to go forwards.
