Essendon With A Big Win
The Bombers defeated the Indigenous All Stars in Darwin, 14 - 9 - 93 to 6 - 7 - 43. Courtney Johns had a big game as Lloyd was rested. Lucas was also effective in attack as Essendon had a big height advantage.
The Davey on each team was impressive. Alwyn Davey for Essendon was very quick, scored a late goal too, and he might be there for Essendon in round 1. Aaron Davey had a slight knock to his ankle but shook it off very quickly.
Goals:
Essendon: 4 Lucas, 3 Johns, 2 Hird, Houli, Jetta, Monfries, Stanton, Davey
All Stars: 2 Krakouer, 2 McLeod, Davey, Motlop
Will have a fantasy AFL analysis later, as there were new players to see and other players were tried in new spots. McPhee was in the middle of the ground a bit during the game, that could happen a lot more this season with the inclusion of Michael. While Johns was very good, and Neagle also was good towards the end of the game, when Lloyd plays it won’t be helpful to Johns’ statistics. Krakouer got a lot of the ball in front of goals, and with better accuracy he would have had 4 goals, so keep him as a possibility for a fantasy forward. Hislop showed a bit of potential too, his kicking was solid and his size was useful for him too, could be an option for a midfield bench spot for AFL fantasy leagues.
