Essendon

Will Mason Redman make the cut, Jim?

Yeah, he will play.
The club is delighted with his progress, unfortunately for him it is a terrible week to debut

Agreed. I think this one might get ugly.

Buddy to double our score on his own. Not a great week for a forward to debut

Sportsbet offering $12 for Buddy to kick more goals than Essendon, huge chance

Took it at $11 this morning

[RustyCage]

Essendon have kicked 9, 11, 7, 6, 11 and 8 goals in each game this year. Buddy is definitely a chance here

Another of the 12 back on board with David Myers re-signing for 3 more years

[MW]

I wonder if each of these contracts for the '12' have a "cannot sue the club" clause...

They do not have a clause.
The compensation is a seperate issue and all players will receive compensation from the clubs insurers

Another relief for Bombers fans. Getting all the highly sort after players done first

True, Myers was the one I was most convinced was leaving and returning to WA. Good that a board member has friends in the right places and was able to facilitate employment for the 3 WA boys and their partners[emoji6]

Heppell has now committed to Essendon and will return in 2017

Yep, was always happening but just needed to get the compo sorted first

Richmond reportedly have a deal on the table for Hurley. As much as 900k apparently but as always who knows.

Old news, that was reported about 6 weeks ago. Melbourne also offering similar

I know the $900k figure was quoted on here and pretty sure at the time I mentioned Richmond and North were showing interest but that I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up a Hawk.
Seems like every week the media create a new article, guess with Hooker and Heppell staying he is the last of the keys that we need to commit

Will Zac Merrett play this week @Jim05?

Listed on afl.com as a corked calf, but Fantasy analysts reckon he will miss?

50/50 at best.
We have the late game Sunday so I would think we will give him up to Sunday and see how he goes. Personally I'd give him a spell if he isn't 100%

Bombers could be a silly chance today.... If Collingwood can beat Geelong, anything can happen. Go the Dons!

Belongs on the best joke thread.
Have said for weeks we will NOT win another game

Well I did say silly chance....Saints were on the rebound from Perth, not that they gave a yelp over there.
