## Resource

The Essendon Bombers are broken… but Tommy thinks he’s found the fix... On this week’s Aces AFL Preview, Tommy lays out his full blueprint to rebuild Essendon, why James Hird MUST be the man to lead the club forward, who should make up the Bombers’ support staff, the players who need to go, and the names Essendon should target immediately. Daisy reckons Tommy’s completely delusional… but the debate that follows might be one of the best chats on the pod ever! We also preview Round 13 of the AFL season, break down the biggest games of the weekend, who’s under pressure, who’s surging towards September, and where the value sits heading into another massive round of footy. And of course, the Prophet Propeller returns as we look to go BACK TO BACK! It’s getting hot and we’re not even halfway through the AFL season yet.
