Pre Season SnapShot - Essendon

[HTM]

ESSENDON

Medical room: After a few injury hurdles, the Bombers looked good heading into Christmas. David Zaharakis (knee) and Tom Bellchambers (knee) were in full training for the first time in the club's last week, David Hille (knee), Scott Gumbleton (knee) and David Myers - who started pre-season in a moon boot - were close to rejoining the main group and Tayte Pears (foot) and Taite Silverlock (foot) were progressing well.

Who's burning: Former Hawk Mark Williams had a first season to forget at Essendon with injuries and form issues hampering his progress and keeping him to just four senior games. He's finally over the ankle injury that plagued him in 2010, has completed every session and has dropped eight kilos.

Draftee watch: South Australian draftee Luke Davis quickly found his feet after moving in with Angus Monfries and has fitted in with the group so well, he's already adopted a nickname.


Added: I also hear Brent Stanton having a ripper preseason

[McRooster]

I'm actually semi serious on Hardingham, if he's been focussed on his goal kicking drills over the off season I can see him being quite a unique forward option.
The small impact he may have possession wise may have game changing affects on the result from goal kicking alone.
