Talk about everything Essendon. Past, Present and Future if it's about the Bombers this is the place to be.

Did a lot right against a team that often takes us to the cleaners with quick ball movement.
One thing I'm liking this year though - it's usually been hard to do the Votes because it's been a proper "team effort" most of the time.

Lots of room for improvement though.
In the team ... or in doing the votes?
LOL.
Lots of room for improvement in the team.
I could include doing the votes too :P but that is a subjective matter, so each to their own.

Ill say this much, a more streamlined midfield cohort where everyone has a clear role is better than playing every mid (missing Friday night, Tsatas, Perkins, Setterfield, Shiel) with most of them out of position.

It was a much better balance allowing young guys like Durham and Caldwell to shine in a specific role as opposed to being rotated in and out of the middle to accommodate everyone
True.
However there won't usually be 2 specific roles like that most weeks, so blokes will have to go and get their own footy and be creative with it.
Selection might become a "horses for courses" thing
