And I'm not saying that Essendon are going to be a premiership team.

We talk about Essendon finally in a positive frame of mind, and it's just too much for some people out there.

They needed a win.

They got a win.

They face a really difficult game this weekend against the Gold Coast Suns, so that's going to test them even more.

But I just hope that they leave McGrath in the midfield and they match him up against Norr Anderson this week or they match him up against Rowell or...

They match him up against Miller, somebody in the midfield, and they leave him there.

That kid's had some really tough love in the time that he's been playing football.

He's been pushed back, and he's played a lot of good games in the VFL.

He's had a lot of the ball.

I didn't think his kicking was horrendous.

Like, he hit targets a couple of times, as you'd expect an AFL player to be able to do.

What he has got, he's got this amazing ability.

Not amazing ability.

He's got a great ability to be able to win the ball and find himself in the right position either to win the ball or to receive a handball.

And he's very good by hand.

And he's a big, strong body as well.

So, you know, full credit for them.

to force him to actually have to play back at the other level before he proves himself that he can do all the things that they want him to do.

But all you need to do is go and watch the way the Sydney Swans played against them last week, the Suns.
