Pears feeling more comfortable
<SPAN style=""mso-bidi-font-family: Arial"">
Can you see yourself holding down a key defensive position in the future?(Luke Turner)
It’s hard to say at this stage but I think I am capable of holding down a key position. The only thing that may hold me back is my height because I am not an ideal size for the modern day half-back role.
You are known as key position defender, because you have great pace do you see yourself moving up into the midfield at anytime next season if you get a game? (Nicholas Loschiavo)
That would be up to the coaching staff. If I was to have a run in the midfield at some stage, I think I would need to develop my game further.
Who did you used to barrack for? (Caitlin Sexton)
I’ve never barracked for one team in particular.
What did you think of Essendon before you arrived at the club? (Caitlin Sexton)
It is a very strong club with a great history.
How did you feel on the day you were first introduced to Windy Hill? (Nicholas Loschiavo)
I was really nervous at first but all the boys got around us and had a few words to us and it helped us to settle in a lot.
Have you stopped growing in height or do you believe you can still get any taller? (Trevor Swain)
Being only 17, I think I have some growth left in me but time will tell.
Has the coaching staff indicated where you might begin your career? e.g. Half back flank,etc. (Billy Macleod)
At the moment I am mainly focusing on the pre-season training and taking it one step at a time.
Do you have any pre game superstitions? (Glen Sutton)
I like to listen to my ipod in the changerooms before we go out.
How does it feel to be selected by the most popular and best team in the AFL? How did you feel when you met the best players in Essendon? (Sarah Sordelli)
I was stoked to be picked up by such a strong club and couldn’t be happier. All the players came and spoke to us (new draftees) straight away so it didn’t take long to feel comfortable around them. Now they are like mates but it is still all just sinking in.
The Bomber boys will be trading in their footballs for golf balls when they hit the greens at the Heritage Golf and Country Club on Tuesday 19th February for the Bill Hutchison Foundation Charity Golf Day. Brought to you by the Dick Reynolds Club and Western Pacific Toorak, the day presents a perfect opportunity for Essendon fans to enjoy breakfast, a round of golf, and lunch with the players and staff from the Essendon Football Club.
