News that Conor McKenna has retired.

Told the playing group this morning.

One of those "where were you when" moments.

Tom Bellchambers has announced his retirement. He played 136 games over 13 seasons.

About 100 games too many, unfortunately we have a habit of keeping blokes like him on the list too long.
After seeing a couple of his home videos though I’m sure he will enjoy retirement

Finally the axe starting to be wielded
5 delisted today

Noah Gown
Kobe Mutch
Mitch Hibberd
Josh Begley
Shaun McKernan

With Tom Bellchambers retiring that’s 6 plus I think Hooker and perhaps Hurley, Saad and Daniher

[Armchair expert]

Thought Hibberd was decent enough, slow but big body mid which something Essendon lacks

Couple of big names in your last line there! Saad and Hurley in particular.

Just not up to it. Good solid second tier player

I think we might try to offload Hurley if he wants and we want to keep Saad but his asking price is getting fairly high. I think we would look at offers for him

Plus Connor McKenna gone home so that’s another spot.

Ridley wins B&F, not bad when only played about 26 games.

He is a ripper and one of the few highlights of our year.

F*** me, did they count the votes on the bus trip home from their last game?

Medal count was lunch time yesterday in QLD. Allows players/staff to head home and not hub any longer than they had to.

Sounding more likely that Saad is leaving. Club and his manager seem miles apart with talk Essendon are offering around $500-550k x5 whilst 2 other clubs are offering $700k x5. North and Carlton are thought to be the two clubs.
Reckon he would stay if we got a bit closer but that’s a stack to pay for a running defender

Markets gone bonkers!
Good player, but $700?
North lol. They'd still be nervy about the polec deal surely.

Carlton leading the race apparently.
$1.5m on 2 running defenders is a pretty penny

That's very Saad for you guys, I thought he was a good fit for you when he got there, he lifted a notch or two.

North still have a warchest and they really do use it well if thats what they are thinking for Saad.....it has Polec the 2nd all over it
