Essendon coach John Worsfold says the new-look Bombers deserve to be recognised as frontrunners for a return to the AFL finals.The Bombers have welcomed back ten players, including stars Jobe Watson and Dyson Heppell, from drug bans that kept them sidelined for all of the past season.Add to that this years No.1 draft pick Andy McGrath, a mercurial key forward with massive potential in Joe Daniher and a young midfield star coming off a breakout year in Zach Merrett, and Worsfold has plenty to smile about.Much of the preseason hype has centred on other top-eight hopefuls but Worsfold is confident the Bombers can bounce back strongly from their bottom-placed finish this year.(Finals) has to be realistic, Worsfold said on Tuesday.Were one of (ten) clubs that didnt play finals last year that want to play finals this year. We think we deserve as much recognition as one of the teams that want to challenge for that top eight as Collingwood, Richmond, Melbourne, Carlton or Fremantle.As an experienced hand at the helm of a Bombers side decimated by their long-running supplements saga, Worsfold faced little scrutiny when the team managed just three wins in 2016.That certainly wont be the case in Worsfolds second year at Essendon, and he wouldnt want it any other way.I love (pressure), Worsfold said.Id rather have that than people saying ah well, youre going to be last again. Thats not a good position to be in.The better your squad becomes, the more expectation there is, and as coaches, we should be thriving on that.A key priority for the Bombers over the offseason is improving their firepower.Essendon were dead last in scoring last season, averaging just 65.31 points per game, compared to Adelaides competition-leading 112.86.Worsfold is hoping the addition of James Stewart from Greater Western Sydney, the return of swingmen Cale Hooker and Michael Hurley and the continued development of Orazio Fantasia will give Daniher plenty of help.Its certainly an area we have to improve on. Weve struggled to kick scores over the last few years, Worsfold said.Theres been a massive amount of expectation on (Daniher) as a rookie but hes not a rookie anymore. Hes now developed to the point where we know how well he can impact and hes got that support around him now.Its okay having talent there (but) if you dont get it in there quick, it plays into the oppositions hands. We want to move the ball a lot more cleanly through the midfield and from the back half to get it inside 50 quick. Reggie Jackson Jersey . Brad Jacobs and his Sault Ste.
