Essendon Rookie Update

[Ricochet]

When Bomber Thompson was asked who he expected to debut this year, his response was.

AFL ‏@AFL 8m
.@nknoops20 Edwards, Aylett, Merrett, Gleeson and Ashby (and Chapman!) are the most likely #AskTheCoach

Edwards is a DEFENDER at $185,700
Aylett is a DEFENDER at $123,900
Merrett is a FORWARD at $117,300
Gleeson is a MIDFIELDER at $123,900
Ashby is a DEFENDER at $123,900
And of course Chappy

No better info than that straight from the Coach. Some worth considering anyway

Good news especially the defenders might help the bank balance , had my eye on aylett but not the other 2 and round 10 byes as well

[Ricochet]

Your not wrong mate. Hopefully they get a crack from Round 1

[Jroo]

A few defenders there which is good.
Since moving from GWS, I've thought that Aylett and Edwards won't be bad picks. If they're named round one, they'll probably be in my side.

Hard to see where they'll fit round 1 BUT I said that last year about Kommer. Here's hoping!

Defender rookies thin on the ground this year, I have Aylett in my team but can't really see him starting the season... And all Bomber has said is that he expects the to debut this year... might be in round 19 :P - Remembering Joey Daniher last year, played round 11 and 12, then 18, 21 and 22.
