What is the status of Kennedy? Having a bit of a look at Darling and would be more interested if there was no Kennedy. Thoughts?
JK nursing a calf at the moment. But should be fine for Round 1. Doesn't sound like we will risk him in the pre-season games. Will keep him in cotton wool until the season starts.

Darling has looked pretty good in the limited footage the club has released so far. You'd expect a passing of the torch this year with Darling & Allen taking on much bigger roles in the forward line and JK slowing down in what could be his last year.

This probably deserves a longer post but don't have time now.
Marshall is still F2 atm,but will definitely be leaving.
Z,D,I Z is in atm, D will not be included, I is on my watch and see list.
Seriously considering 2 metre Peter as part of my team rejig.
Am I crazy?
Feel he will be Essendons main target and is capable of clunking contested Marks and kicking multiple goals.
May also do a little rucking.
The only other time I have seen him mentioned is in an earlier post by me which garnered a few likes.

If you’re considering Wright, why is Daniher not being included then ?

Daniher will be BRL main target. Capable of taking marks and kicking multiple goals. Has had it confirmed by Fagan that he will be their second ruck this year, which backs up the intra club reports that he did a fair portion of ruck work. And he’s $60k cheaper.

Seriously starting to contemplate a starting 6 forward line of Ziebell, Daniher, Impey, Jones, Cahill, Kelly (Rowe and Tracey on the bench). Forward rookies are starting to line up nicely and there are question marks or potential value drops across a lot of the prem forwards..
My current forward line has Macrae F1.

Wright's best effort was 72 in 2016, he's only gone backwards as a player since. The only thing he's proven recently is that he's 200cm, not very enthusiastic, about as mobile as Sean Darcy and doesn't like to play in the ruck. If he plays the same way at Essendon he'll be doing it in the VFL whether they've got no other tall forwards or not.
