Essendon 2022: Is there room for one more explosive centre?

Right about now, as the Bombers lick their wounds and hear from Blake Caracella and Ben Rutten about how this elimination final will not shape next season, we come to think about what they have done this year and what key ingredient could be missing.

After a storming finish to the season, how far can Jake Stringer take the Bombers in finals footy?

If the first half of the year was all about the sharp rise and growth of Bombers midfielder Darcy Parish, then surely the back end of the AFL season has been all about Jake Stringer catching fire.
