Pretty sure essendon looked this good last year in the preseason also.
But come the real stuff they will struggle wont be near the bottom aslong as lucas an lloyd play atleast 75% of the games.
It was a different type of 'good'. It was the same old 'good' peformances we threw in here and there. We actually started last season very very well until there were injurys here and there and the older players obviosuly couldnt run out matches, yet Sheedy insisted playing them.
They just seem so much younger and enthusiastic which i havnt seen since the famous 2000 season, thats the only reason im excited. If i recall last year i wasnt that excited because there wasnt anything "new".
But it doesnt matter really. I dont see anyone beating Geelong again. There got some fantastic youngsters aswell.
Ther hawkers will definetly be up there aswell. Good to see finnally Victorian teams making a comback as to the dominant side of the AFL.
A team which hasnt been mentioned yet is Collingwood. I can see them having a crap year, their backline is shot now...
