Sheedy Not Expected To Play Gumbleton, Hislop Or Jetta
The Bombers drafted some exciting prospects in the first couple of rounds in the AFL National Draft but Essendon fans might have to wait to see them in action. While Alwyn Davey is a possibility, the Bombers don’t look like playing Scott Gumbleton, Tom Hislop or Leroy Jetta against the Crows.
From the Bombers site: Debutants may have to wait – Sheedy
AFL Fantasy Impact:
Gibbs, J Selwood and L Hansen are some players who could start their careers in round 1. They will all be useful for fantasy teams. Alwyn Davey should also be on many fantasy teams if he is named for round 1, although in most cases he will be on a fantasy bench. Gumbleton can probably play in any of the tall positions, but at Essendon when everyone is healthy there is a lot of veteran depth. Only injuries will open up a lot of playing time for Gumbleton. Jetta and Hislop are midfielders with experience playing senior football in lower leagues. While they may not play against Adelaide they both should get a chance early in the season. Jetta’s pace will be a welcome addition while Hislop is a very complete player who is ready for AFL.
