This week's Orange Poll asked Essendon supporters whether Jobe Watson should be given his father's famous number 32. The majority of BomberLand users said yes (77%) but there was also quite a significant vote (23%) that felt he should be given another number. A vote possibly generated by the feeling that it would put too much pressure on the promising midfielder. This week we ask who should play centre half forward in 2003?
The Essendon ruck division was always going to be a major talking point among Bomber supporters when the senior list was basically finalised for 2003 at last Sunday’s National Draft. With Paul Salmon retiring and Steven Alessio de-listed, it was undoubtedly an area where the club was a little light on. David Hille is promising, as is Simon O’Keefe, but they needed some back up and Essendon did it well at the draft. It picked up two of the most talented talls available and redrafted Alessio to give the club some experience.
