Neagle has been promised a rookie spot if he can meet standards set by Hird before the December 7 draft.
“Jay has been training really well and doing some extra sessions to get his body where it needs to be in time for the draft,” Hird told essendonfc.com.au.
“We have spoken about the targets that he needs to meet to be an Essendon player and if he is able to meet those, then we will be true to our word.”

"We've set some standards he needs to meet and I'm pretty confident he'll meet those."
However, Neagle has nominated for Thursday night's NAB AFL Draft - to be held on the Gold Coast - in the hope of being picked up as a senior player by another club.
"We haven't spoken about that with Jay. We've spoken about the targets he needs to meet to be an Essendon player," Hird said.
Wouldn't be suprised if someone pinched him from under our noses.
payback from geelong maybe.
I don't believe they have much contact, Merv's up north still I think with his other missus & kids.Definite claytons de-listing. Good luck on the rookie list. Clubs find it very hard to cut the father/son umbilical cord. If it wasn`t for his surname he would have gone 2 years ago, he has the worst body language at quarter time and 3/4 time huddles I have ever seen. He is lazy and looks dis-interested. His father was my favourite Essendon footballer of all time, from what I can gather he was a bit of a hard arse off the field Merv, hopefully he gives his boy a rocket.
