I believe Tayte Pears has agreed to a new deal at Essendon. Expect contract to be signed in the next few days, announcement next week.

Leroy Jetta is apparently on the table.

no surprises, too many games if the VFL, hope he finds a new club, don't mind him as a player

yeah, we can play both ruckman without having to flip a coin, and with joe - hurley combo. I've said it multiple times i'd also like to see hardingham spend some time up forward. So we could easily get rid of 2 key forwards and get a shaw type player. hibo could slot into the midfield like nothing.

edit: Hardingham could play pretty well as a defensive forward, can contest packs with his leap, whilst still being small and fast enough to crumb, his one weakness (disposal) isn't as crucial in attack.

is hurley maybee a look in SC if he stays fit for the preseason.

only priced at 76 average posted some nice socre towards the end. Fit what can people see him scoring is they lose the forwards.

Apparently Gumby's looking for opportunities elsewhere.

Oi, nobody has mentioned potential of duscher being put on our rookie list. Personally I would love it if he was drafted as a rookie, love his work and would love to see him play a few seasons.

Average player who talks-the-talk but can't walk-the-walk on the field, stages for free kicks, sprays senior (and better) teammates like (Watson :o) for not passing to him.

That's the reasons I dislike him.

If he is fit yes, as soon as there Is an injury though jump off him, even if it's a 1 week injury.

He was arguably our best forward of the season. His averages & stats are fairly misrepresented because he was subbed out of a few games early through injury. Against Brisbane he was subbed with concusion after like 5 minutes, against saints he got 112 with only 61 TOG. So he def has potential if he plays a full season without carrying any injuries or soreness.

yeah that and i find him very frustrating to watch with his defensive game so many times players just shrug off his tackles and he just goes missing for long periods only really plays well wen the team is, i'm not a huge fan of Davey either for similar reasons imo we will never win a flag with one or two of these guys in the team

Looks like Chapman is joining the Bombers
