Ben Duscher- should we list him next year?

Ben Duscher has been with the club for many years and has consistently surpassed many of the Essendon listed players that have been his team-mates and have come and gone. What does he lack to make it at the AFL level? Are we making a mistake not drafting him?

No.

Agree saladin, too old now.

Be a ■■■■■■ good sub!

Not good enough

Would you give him games at the expense of Zerrett Gleeson Ashby Hams Colyer?

At his age you need 2 things: 2 dominant seasons in close proximity and a point of difference. Duscher has never dominated games consistently to scream pick me and he doesn't have any stand-out quality, or point of difference.

 

In comparison, Dwyer had a dominant season as a 24yr old, broke his leg the year after and didn't play much then dominated again as a 26 yr old to get drafted. Whilst Dwyer's skills particularly by foot can by shaky, he has pace.

Hear about him a lot in VFL obviously, but what type of player is he?

No.

If you believe the Essendon site, he‘s 4kg heavier than Steinberg.
LOL to the max.

Wouldn't be against it, as the last rookie pick.

I would [be against it]. To me it screams "Richmond". 

 

We have some good youth coming through and to me Duscher has the combination of age and no stand out feature. Just an accumulator who can come in and not embarrass himself in a **** to average side. I think that's what Dunlop was getting at.

Overlook Tippa at your peril.

Dusch & Tippa…great names…but I’m afraid I don’t want either of them on the list.

We are prone to overrating these Essendon VFL blokes, simply because we don’t have a clue what is happening elsewhere in the leagues!

what you seem to be forgetting in all of this is that Tippa is Tippa. bring him in

Nope, move on nothing to see here

He is leaving the club anyway.

Tipping he would find it in his heart to stay if he got drafted.

List him.

 

Does he have a brother? List him too.
