Essendon's OOC players plus the 12

[Donakebab]

We can remove Hocking from this conversation. Fox sports news is reporting that he has resigned with Essendon.


ESSENDON midfielder Heath Hocking has become the first of the 12 banned players that remain at the club to re-sign.
Hocking, 28, penned a one-year contract extension to keep him with the Bombers until the end of the 2017 season.

Fox Sports News are a bit behind the eight ball, the club announced that last Friday.

Tom Browne tweeted that some sources think a deal with Freo for Hooker is just about done.

Yesterday he said Hawthorn. Tomorrow he'll say West Coast. And the day after it'll probably be Carlton for all anyone really knows.

Colyer was one of the players I thought might leave, but signs seem good with him in talks for a long term contract extension.

Toms work today is a thing of beauty



It's like Frontline.

Bit of a nothing article, but it shows clubs are picking at the carcass.

Hurley would have attracted interest the following year anyway, unless we extended his contract prior to.

Not surprising. It could be a great coup for any club to line up 3 of our critical defenders.
Hurley, Hooker and Hibberd know how to work together. I seriously hope we get all 3 back
Massive losses.

Considering Bombers are likely to have pick 1, I wouldn't think they would be too disappointed if Hooker left leaving them with picks 1 and 2.

We can only deal with one of Hurley or Hooker going, not both.
I'd prefer to keep Hurley, as I think he runs the backline, an absolute General back there.
I think we will have pick 2 and 3, we won't finish last

Pick 2 is not a definite gun though
Likely we go with a pair of Petrevski-Seton & Battle if we land both picks, giving us a classy mid and a good second forward prospect.

But i'd prefer to go into 2017 with Hooker, Hurley and Hibberd sliding back into defence.

Bags Hartley Hooker
Hibberd Hurley Tippa
= good backline.

No other team would want him lmao

Would love us to throw lots of monies at Hurley, perfect fit for us.

Great work from David King on AFL 360.

If Essendon trade all their good players they'll end up with about 15 top 25 picks in a two year period.

Cool.

He had someone giving them pick 25 for Howlett. LMAO.

Hibberd, too.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Howlett not worth 25 but for Hibbered it's about right.

 

[eth-dog]

Hibberd, too.

That's unrealistic? Hibberd averages 22 disposals as a back flanker over his career, as well as 4 rebound 50's. Very good player.

We got pick 25 for Melksham, Hibberd is a way better player than him

Careful eth won't be too long till people start yelling the old "Essendon are hard to deal with" line.

Still scratching my head about how melbourne traded for Jake

Your not alone. I think most Melbourne people were happy to give up a later pick. I don't think he's worth 25 though.

Thought the same. There would be zero point in doing that. I think he got a tad over excited.

You can't assume you're trading with Melbourne every trade in every trade week.

No, but the point still stands. Hibberd is worth a mid to late teens pick at best, but pick 25 is far from ridiculous for him.
