Another shoulder injury ruined John Williams' 2009 season and he failed to play a senior game for the Bombers despite making his debut in the final game of the previous season.
The high leaping medium sized forward was delisted at the end of the season but re-drafted onto Essendon's 2010 rookie list and the club believes he has potential.
The fans gave him a 2/10 for the season, down from 3.4/10 in 2008 when they saw some potential as a strong marking forward.

Essendon farewelled one of its all-time great tall forwards when Scott Lucas retired at the end of the 2009 season after 270 games and 471 goals.
The premiership star struggled to have a big impact in his final season but still showed glimpses of the form that made him a fan favourite and a nightmare for opponents.
His report card rating of 5.34/10 was down slightly on the previous season's score of 5.65/10.

Along with Tayte Pears, Cale Hooker was the surprise package of the 2009 season playing 16 games.
He impressed the coaching department in defence and as a back-up ruckman and looks like having a long career, most likely as a backman.
Hooker's report card rating reflected his better output and he was given 6/10, up from just over 4/10 in his first season.
