Here’s a banger of a post draft player description:
He’s a top ranked young midfielder, much along the lines of many of the younger midfielders who have come through the draft in previous years early on, without naming names because it does put pressure on guys.

HURTING Essendon star Andrew McGrath is determined to ensure the dramatic events of the Bombers’ extraordinary loss to Collingwood never happen again.
The AFL world is still comprehending how Collingwood could defeat the Bombers through an after-the-goal siren to Jamie Elliott on Sunday.

I was planning on doing a “Bag Essendon” thread after next week. This is along those lines.
There has been a lot of false dawns over the past 20 years and plenty of misery.

The most frustratingly overlooked moment in the last 20 years of this club.
Mark Williams should have been coaching us in 2008 and for several years afterwards. I highly doubt he would have still been coaching in 2024 but I can guarantee the trajectory the club would have taken in the following years would have been considerably different to what transpired. We would likely have avoided the supplements saga, draft penalties and I reckon we would have had, at least, a couple of finals wins somewhere in there.
Sliding doors moment.
Port Adelaide premiership coach Mark Williams has revealed that he was offered the Essendon coaching job the week before the 2007 Grand Final.
…
Williams told the Herald Sun’s Sacked podcast of the events that transpired.
“St Kilda were certainly trying to get me and Essendon, the week before the 2007 Grand Final (Dons CEO) Peter Jackson offered me the job and I said, “We need to wait”.
“And that week he announced Matthew Knights as the coach and I just couldn’t believe it … Couldn’t believe it.”
“I have spoken to people who know Mark Thompson, He thought he was going to coach there as well. (Essendon said) ‘we want you to be the coach’. I was thinking (waiting) was the respectful thing to do.
“I have no idea what happened anyway but that’s a bit of history."
