If he keeps this level of involvement, he’ll end up being one of the best players in the league, never mind EFC.
The talent and smarts have always been there.

I don’t reckon his best has ever been seen. Footscray wasted a prodigious talent by pigeon holing him as an opportunistic forward. We are developing him way beyond that. In 18 months or so he will be one of the premier players in the comp all things being equal.

Jake still has so much more improvement in him too, If he keeps putting the work in he will be scary
Ship him of for a late 2nd round.
Solid game. Very good work rate both ways. Like it.
Wtf was that kick out on the full hahahaha
Yeah, this. Was saying it since we started getting into trading for him. Dogs played him as a forward out of necessity, cos he can play anywhere and they didn’t have any forwards worth a damn.
But he’s too good to not be putting him where the ball is.

Dodoro a big fan of the Bont
Still think we should get Wallis
Dogs are Essendon in reverse, bemoan turning gun mids into OK forwards.
I dunno. Life’s too short to spend it watching Dogs games.

He is looking very, very ominous and is going to destroy a team soon.
It is slowly coming together for him.

No articles about how well he’s developing, after 100 in the first few weeks about how ■■■■ he’s playing, when he’s finding his feet in a new team.
Look forward 5 years and he’s the ■■■■■■■ star of the competition. Can dream, but either way, he’s going to be a great Essendon player, worthy of the 25.

How good is he going to be when they introduce measures to reduce congestion? Giving him more space, he would freak it up.

Not really no. But if people keep having shots about players, I will keep defending the players. I make no apology for that.

Yes they are. But they are also trying to protect him a bit as he was getting belted up as the only midfielder in their group. He was being double teamed and often getting slammed hard in tackles and it was taking a toll. So they moved him forward to protect him and also try and score.
