Robbo was very confident Hurley will return, he said 10/11 of the 12 will return.

Tim Watson: Suspended players impressed with Worfold

Essendon legend Tim Watson says the signing of All-Australian defender Cale Hooker is a great sign of positivity for the Bombers in the retention of it's suspended players.

The 27-year-old has agreed to a new five year deal worth around $4 million, passing up extra money from a number of clubs including Fremantle, North Melbourne, Collingwood and Hawthorn.

"I think this will be a very positive thing for those other players who may be thinking of doing something outside of Essendon," Watson has told Breakfast with Frank and Ox.

Michael Hurley and Dyson Heppell are under contract but that hasn't stopped rival clubs inquiring about their services after Essendon made it clear it would accommodate a trade due the circumstances of the players being suspended.

"I think you can say everyone has been very impressed with John Worsfold and how he's handled himself, how he's handled the players individually, how he's kept contact with the players".

"What he's building there, what they are seeing in terms of how the club is approaching it's next stage of development, and I think they want to buy into that and be part of that," Watson said

Cale Hooker is the latest player that Fremantle has missed out on getting as it tries to bolster its key position stocks.

Former Melbourne champion David Schwarz believes Demon Jesse Hogan will be the Dockers next big target, with the 21-year-old from Perth out of contract at the end of 2017.

I wonder whether Myers will return - Had no luck with injuries, and is a FA who will get offers - he may want a fresh start.

Watching Heppell on 360 doesn't sound like he is going anyway. "They have me signed up till 2020".
Do we need to hear any more from him or any other signed Bomber on this matter....or will we only hear something if its not good news?
Obviously Hooker was in a different situation as he was a Free Agent and his contract was over at the end of the year.

So has there training been to just keep them fit?
Or a bit of Globetrotters style n have some tactics that will confuse oppositions, a mighty ducks style give it to colyer n jus build a wall around him n stream all the way to goal, Bellchambers picking up colyer for the mark 10 meters in front of the pack.

Even the Hawks aren't that delusional. Belongs in the pearlers thread.

Yes, they've been training as a group under David Buttifant.

So this morning at work a guy I work with (he's a good bloke but massive Collingwood supporter. He also believes every rumour he hears in the media) He told me a friend of a friend knows Heppell and that pretty much Heppell wants out. Not I'm not posing this to be a credible source. I just found it amusing and wanted to share.

Well I suppose they are running out of candidates to run with the 'x really wants out just quietly' line.

Awesome post, you've won a bertocchi for that. Stay on the line so we can get your details

Just curious, but is anyone at all actually nervous/hesitant about heppell's status? Don't get me wrong, I thought he'd be a lock to return as well, but I can't help but worry.

His wording always seems calculated and planned when he's always on 360, and seems like he's always distancing himself from the club. He hardly says we" or any inclusive language. Maybe I'm just reading wayyyy too much into it but it sounds odd when he constantly refers to the club in a distant choice of wording. Even just his body language looks uneasy about it. Apparently his manager is pretty ordinary too. These are only little things I know, but still...

Maybe I am being a paranoid madman but I had to vent somewhere/somehow. Haha

Most weeks on 360 he has almost entirely referred to the club and issues around the club in an inclusive sense (i.e. "we" as you say).

It's true that he's qualified some of his statements, but there really isn't much to worry about. I'm no expert, but tbh I think he's just being careful while his compensation is being sorted.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Imo both the club and Dyson know he won't be going anywhere he's probably just being careful in what to say while his compensation is getting sorted.

And quite possibly to take the heat off others. Once he says "I'm definitely coming back" they'll stop asking about him and start asking about everyone else.
