He played all last year as a lock down defender. Very different running load with that compared to a sole ruckman

2MP will pinch hit until Bryan comes in

I dare say he will do that all season. Itās who of Blacko, Bryan or Vigo is the #1. I donāt think you can play 2 of that trio. Neither of them look to have enough forward craft where you can play one of them as a majority forward. And with 2MP up there it becomes too top heavy.

This is the thing. I rather 2MPs ruck load be kept to a minimum. He shouldnt come in for centre bounces, just ruck sometimes in the forward half.
2MP is too important to our forward setup to risk injury. He goes down and Caddy becomes the number one target. It all spirals downhill from there.
Can you tell Iāve been scarred from Essington injury issues

SEN have given The Divine Ponytail a massive pump up. Best value player in the AFL according to Sam Edmund.

As was correctly pointed out, the new ruck rules suit him perfectly. Good on him, heās got a chance to carve out an AFL career.

And we expect his next game after that to be completely awful right?
If he follows in the footsteps of past Essendon ruck luminaries like Phillips, Bellchambers, Draper, McKernan et alā¦ absolutely!..
Never forget . . .
(Couldnāt find any clips of Zac Clarke in Essendon colours!)
Deserves a new deal i reckon

Personally I expect him to be. Heās a fair superior ruckman to Bryan (albeit 3 years older than him).
