Sam Draper will definitely play. So too will Peter Wright. The club loves what Harrison Jones and Todd Goldstein are doing. But do the all four talls fit in the one team on Anzac Day?
Sam Draper will definitely play. So too will Peter Wright. The club loves what Harrison Jones is doing and figure Todd Goldstein one of the recruits of the year.According to coach Brad Scott, Draper, the man who saved the day with his unpenalised man-on-a-grenade dive on the ball in the last seconds against Adelaide, will play.
Jones is finally showing the sort of form Essendon knew he was capable of and they would be reluctant not to persist with him. His pressure in the forward half has been just as appealing to the club’s match committee as his aerial contest.“I should know better than to look at the weather forecast in Melbourne a week out. It just keeps changing all the time. So that’ll come into play as well in terms of what we do there,” Scott said.
Three of Essendon’s four defeats against the Pies were by 13 points or less – the Bombers even led by 14 points at the final change in round 19, 2022 – before the round-24 outlier last year when the Magpies surged to a 70-point win. “They have built the midfield, a bit of a tougher midfield, obviously McKay has stiffened up the defence. The forward line is still a work in progress, but they get Peter Wright back now. They are in a good position, in terms of the ladder,” former Dons premiership star Matthew Lloyd told 3AW.Jones has kicked seven goals in the five games he’s played this year and is averaging six marks a game. Against Adelaide he also laid four tackles, a stat that appealed to Scott and the coaches.
