If it were the 1980s he would have been one of the better players in the comp.
Unfortunately the game and the archetype of the modern key defender have changed and he’s going up against two guys in the air and getting exposed at ground level by guys like Allir Allir and Mac Andrew who are too quick and agile for him.
He has to get better at halving contests with physicality and improve his agility otherwise his only feasible position is ruck / forward.
This is the sort of thing the club needs to be better at. Every club out there knows that fans like to attend training. It isn’t that hard to get timings right for fan engagement. Pis poor management by the club, and symptomatic of a club that has very much lost its way.
Essendon rehab group at a fair size now. Or players not training today for some reason. Was a main session today and plenty missed it
McKay, Langford, Hobbs, Nguyen, Guelfi, Caldwell, Redman, Davey, Parish, Duursma, Cox, Ridley, Day-Wicks amd Johnson. Jones got an injury today. Looked to have a player land on his ankle
