Elijah Tsatas was a player in whom Essendon invested considerable hope as the club’s first top-five draft pick since the troubled days of 2015-16.
Tsatas, as scouts from clubs knew, possessed power, a burst from stoppage and had the knack for winning the ball in the under 18s. At 187 centimetres, he was taller than many of the smallish Bomber midfielders, albeit not a beast like Patrick Cripps or Christian Petracca.
But, as JAKE NIALL reports and the Bombers would discover, there was a snag: his disposal by foot.
