Essendon Rookie Update

[Ricochet]

When Bomber Thompson was asked who he expected to debut this year, his response was.

AFL ‏@AFL 8m
.@nknoops20 Edwards, Aylett, Merrett, Gleeson and Ashby (and Chapman!) are the most likely #AskTheCoach

Edwards is a DEFENDER at $181,400
Aylett is a DEFENDER at $119,200
Merrett is a FORWARD at $112,800
Gleeson is a MIDFIELDER at $119,200
Ashby is a DEFENDER at $119,200
And of course Chappy

No better info than that straight from the Coach. Some worth considering anyway

[Money]

This is good stuff! He also mentioned that Hardingham and Steinberg have put their hands up to fill Crameri's role

[Rabid Hamster]

Hams at 119k is another one who could get games and he got some good numbers in the VFL last year. I'm not seriously considering any of them yet, but if a rookie gets a gig in the Bombers' forward line then I'll probably get on board.

[Mr.Craig]

Zach Merrett's an exciting prospect. No so keen on the others right now.

those cheapies

but will they be any more than 1 game, or not

[KoopKicka]

Van Unen has slid through the cracks already :(

[Master Q]

Quality pick up Rico.
