LIVE AFL: 'Swagger' star 'threatening to tear game apart' against brave Crows.
So I think Wright has been the big beneficiary from two big ruckmen.” If you’re playing two ruckmen, it allows them to have the energy to get up for these hitouts. “You need your energy for those power moves to shake your defender. They’re hitting the bench and changing up and really running him around,” Cameron Mooney said at half-time. Taylor Walker was treated to boos from the crowd in his return game from a racism incident last year. “How good is Rachele?” Brown posed during the call. And then in turn it allows the midfielders to be a bit more proactive and attacking. You’d lvoe to be a midfielder and play with this bloke,” Brown said.

It was ruckman Sam Draper, though, that dealt the decisive blow and snapped through a goal with three minutes to go to put the Bombers out to a 10-point lead that eventuated to be too much for the Crows to overcome, despite a late goal from Lachlan Gollant. The 24-year-old, who came third in Essendon’s best and fairest last year, missed the first three rounds because of a calf strain and was returning for his first game of the year, but he only managed one half before the calf injury seemingly re-surfaced. The topsy-turvy affair was one both sides would have been confident they could walk away with a win, as the Bombers had faced three of the top four teams from last season in the lead-up, and the Crows defeated Port Adelaide in the showdown last week.
