Essendon VFL concluded their season with a 38-point win over Coburg on Sunday afternoon.

Recording a sixth win from their final seven games, the Bombers' depth of AFL-listed players played a pivotal role in the side's build over the second half of the season.

VFL Senior Coach Blake Caracella reviews their performances from the final round.

Elijah Tsatas

41 disposals, eight clearances, seven marks, five tackles, one goal

‘Lij’ played a great game for us.

He was strong in the contest as usual and his clearance numbers gave a pretty good indication of that. He used it pretty efficiently by hand and foot from those 41 touches, getting involved in plenty of our attacking opportunities (13 score involvements).

Will Setterfield

27 disposals, six clearances, five tackles, four marks, one goal

A really typical ‘Will Setterfield’ performance.

He’s just real solid in congestion, connects with his teammates very well on the ground and always gives us an advantage in contested situations.

Another solid game from ‘Setters’.

Todd Goldstein

16 hit-outs, seven disposals

‘Goldy’ looked really dominant in the ruck early but unfortunately copped a corkie late in the first term.

He tried to run it out but couldn’t continue after the second quarter, sitting out the rest of the game.

Lewis Hayes

12 disposals, six marks

‘Hayesy’ controlled his opponent pretty well in the aerial contests.

Even when he wasn’t taking the grabs himself, his positioning was really strong to allow Will Hoare (12 marks) to cut across and get the job done as well.

He’s had a consistent year at the level.

Nick Hind

32 disposals (29 kicks), eight marks

‘Hindy’ was really important for us with his ground ball work.

He was clean with his hands, repelled opposition forward thrusts quite a bit and gave us his expected leadership and vocal presence out on the ground.

He was big for us in the last month of the season.

Peter Wright

37 hit-outs, 15 disposals, four clearances, two goals

Pete played forward early then moved into the ruck full-time after ‘Goldy’ went down, so it was a new experience for him.

His follow-up looked good after half-time and he seemed to embrace the change in scenery pretty well, still finding his way onto the scoreboard.

Alwyn Davey Jnr

19 disposals, four tackles

Alwyn had a pretty good game, pushing up to the wing and playing a couple of different roles for us.

We wanted to see defensive pressure from him throughout the day, so to notch up the four tackles was a good effort as well.

Luamon Lual

12 disposals, two goals

We finally got ‘Luey’ his goals this week, playing him as a deep forward late.

He’s had a few games where he’s threatened to make scoreboard impact and is showing he can play multiple positions for us, which is promising.

Jayden Davey

11 disposals, four marks

Probably not as much of the footy for Jayden this week but when he gets it, he makes things happen.

He set up a couple of goals in the second half on account of his speed, which has been a clear asset for him over this season.

Tex Wanganeen

16 disposals, seven marks

The defensive element of Tex’s game was better than in recent weeks.

He looked really well connected with the defensive group, even if the focus in that area meant he wasn’t able to get forward and gather as much of the footy this time around.

Saad El-Hawli

27 disposals, eight marks, three tackles

‘Saady’ found plenty of it again.

There’s no doubt he’s getting his match fitness back, obviously tough timing for him with the VFL season concluding as he’s integrating back from injury, but he showed great signs in those final couple of games.
