Was quietly bullish on Murky and thought he might fly under the radar and then surprise a few early season, especially with Tippa out. But haven't heard much at all and not named in the practice match for tomorrow.

Most likely to be playing VFL midfield so they can get a read on his development going forward.

Is this guy still around?

Is this guy still around?

Look he's chunky but round is a bit unkind

 

[Yoda_]

He's back

 

[MiguelM]

Hopefully he grabs his opportunity with both hands. With Wanganeen providing some speed it might help Waterman.

 

[Shane Heard]

A solid performance today.

It’s either him or Tippa for that spot and I’m sure he’s quite aware of that situation

It’s all up to himself to cement a place in this senior side

 

[naraku]

Was handy today.

 

[The Devils Advocate]

I really like him with ball in hand, need him to really hit some idiots though.
Has to up his pressure game.

Tippa would most likely come in for Wanganeen I would've thought.

Waters is very trustworthy in front of goal. Nice action. Only Lloydy gave more confidence in front of goal.

 

[Call Me Cake]

He has a similar build/frame to Stringer and I reckon he's a good stand-in for the Stringer role up forward.

He plays taller than he actually is, giving up a good 10cm to Stringer. That said he is a reasonable fill in and I have no problem with him having a crack at it, along with Martin and Perkins.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

I would always play him when fit. Adds a different dimension to our forward line.

 

[MiguelM]

Needs to be given a few games in a row.

Wasn't he a highly rated min in his junior days before his illness wrecked his tank?

would be a good plan B for the handfull of games stringer misses each year

 

[DapperDon]

Classic Essendon new age player who everyone seems to love because he kicks a goal from outside 50m once a month. He might actually be the laziest player on the list.

Should be delisted at seasons end, but watch us give him 2 years.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Can't say for sure but it feels like he's slimmed down. Noticed it during the moment of silence camera-pan, definitely a more defined jawline. Will never be a lightning quick unit but losing maybe 5 kegs I think has made him nimble enough to better on a lead and a bit more effective at ground level.

There is a reason teams run it out of our f50m with such ease.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Only Essendon can play a 80s style midget FF in today's game

Haha I said the exact same thing to my mate I was at the footy with today

He's be a weapon in local footy, would kick some absolute bags.. and noone would care he doesn't put a whole lot of pressure on

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Should be in the team for the rest of the year. Provides more of a marking target than 2MP…

Personally I like my forwards to kick goals instead of tackle.

 

[BOMBERROB2000]

love that Waterman is back in the side and should be there all the time. he adds a bit of hardness and can take a good mark and more importantly finish off . but we do sadly miss Tippa a lot and I hope he is back in the side soon as we miss his forward pressure something we are badly lacking..!!!
