BOMBERS NARROW DOWN DRAFT TALENT
Essendon's recruiting staff are still sifting through the talent that will be on offer at next month's National Draft but the field of candidates has narrowed. ""We have had a good look at the videos and I am currently presenting our thoughts to the match committee,"" Essendon recruiting manager Adrian Dodoro said. ""We have a fair idea of who will go early in the draft and we will make some decisions on the type of player we need and match that up with the players who we think will still be available."" Essendon's first five selections at the draft are 18, 31, 34, 47 and 50. The 2001 National Draft will be held on Sunday, November 25th.
