Footy is nearly back and for every fan it's exciting, what is in store for your club? Are they ready to leap up the ladder? Or are they about to turn to youth?

Essendon
The big three
Bombers fans may not know exactly where there club is at just yet, finals or rebuild? It's hard to tell and patience will all be dependent on communication from the club. But one thing the club will preach is the bright future of Archie Perkins, Zach Reid and Nik Cox.
The trio were drafted with picks 6,7 and 8 respectively in last year's draft and look to be the future of the Essendon Football Club. With so many key names leaving Tullamarine, it's the three fresh faced baby Bombers who will likely have to show glimpses of a bright future to keep Dos fans happy.
