Essendon’s talent and operations manager, Matt Rosa, has provided insights into the club’s list strategy for the 2024 season, addressing inquiries about potential free agency targets.

Rosa, who oversaw a successful off-season last year, highlighted the acquisitions of Ben McKay, Jade Gresham, and Todd Goldstein through free agency, along with Xavier Duursma via a trade with Port Adelaide. Despite these additions, the Bombers have maintained their first-round draft selection for 2023.

While acknowledging the contributions of these experienced players to Essendon’s current third-place position on the ladder after nine games, Rosa emphasized the club’s ongoing commitment to strengthening its list through various avenues.

Expressing openness to bolstering the team’s young core through free agency and trades, Rosa emphasized the importance of maintaining draft capital while exploring opportunities to enhance the squad.

Regarding potential targets like GWS free agent Harry Perryman, Rosa neither confirmed nor denied the club’s interest but stated their willingness to engage with players seeking a new opportunity.

In the immediate future, the Bombers are set to participate in the Mid-Season Draft, aiming to fill a roster spot left vacant by Jaiden Hunter’s injury. Rosa stressed the significance of thorough scouting to identify prospects who can contribute both in the short and long term.

Highlighting Peel Thunder talent Jacob Blight as a noteworthy prospect, Rosa expressed admiration for his achievements in the WAFL and hinted at his potential inclusion in Essendon’s draft plans.

With Pick 15 in the Mid-Season Draft, the Bombers are poised to make strategic selections to further strengthen their roster for the remainder of the season.
