Sellers seems like a really good pickup.
I can’t help but chuckle at what I imagine is Paul Cousins reaction to all this.
Some mix between Hallelujah!! About bloody time!! and Why the Fark didn’t they do this when I asked/begged/demanded them too.
We didn’t reach the Prelim until Paul’s second year.
Fail.
Really looking forward to the VFL next year.
The Essendon Derby next year against Port Melbourne should be an entertaining one
One of the young lads in my cricket team is doing a pre-season with the Essendon VFL. Played Calder Cannons last year. He’s hoping to be a guy they can call up if we have injuries during the year. Fingers crossed!
Good luck to him! Are you able to share who it is?
I hope Wanganeen goes well.
Any word on where Jayden Davey is headed next year?
I find it interesting that Heppell has chosen to play VFL and not at Essendon. I know his time was up at AFL level, but surely his onfield experience could have been used in the VFL team?
Probably more money and perhaps a chance of a role after football
I think more than anything you’d just like a change of environment after being at the one place for so many years. Especially when it hasn’t exactly been a laugh a minute.
He wanted to play on next season…AFL.
Yeah, and he probably lives around that sort of area too. Instead of having to drive across the city to get to training, it’s a 10 min drive down the road.
Hird, Dodoro, Heppell… someone get Bomba and Paul Little down to the club.
Give Dank and Robinson a call aswell
His name is Daniel Shepherd. I’ve not seen him play but he’s a wingman/half-forward, your pretty typical 6’1” - 6’2” running player. Great young kid. I think he’s playing VAFA somewhere this season, but yeah for an invite from Essendon VFL to do the pre-season. He had a decent season with Cannons in 2024 by all reports…
He just wanted to play at his local club with mates.
Is the last guy they pan to in this Port Melbourne video Jayden Davey?
I think it is.
Certainly looks like him!
