Isaac Kako and fellow first-round draft picks Nate Caddy and Elijah Tsatas have given Essendon a tantalising glimpse of what their AFL future might become. Kako kicked four goals, Caddy contributed three and Tsatas racked up a game-high 10 clearances in the midfield as the Bombers beat Geelong by 21 points in Tuesday night’s pre-season match.

Essendon kicked six goals to two in the last quarter, finally breaking clear after a see-sawing match.
