      My top 5 (assuming some get locked away like Brown): Hooker, Heppell, Hurley, Daniel Rich, Zak Clarke.

          Hooker being unrestricted is a bit of a surprise. There has been no confirmation that other Essendon players like Heppell and Hurley will be free agents has there?

              Sidebottom signed a 5 year deal last week (I think)

                  My understanding with the banned EFC players is that they are not officially listed as UFA's, but they have been advised that should they choose to, they can walk out of their contracts due to EFC's conduct breaching the terms of the contract, effectively making them UFA's (in practical terms).

                  In that case, I'd put Hurley right up there with Hooker at the top of the list. He would fit into CHB for us perfectly.

                      Hooker's 27 and 2016 will his 9th year on Essendon's list. It catches people by surprise because he took quite a while to hit his straps at AFL level.

                          No I mean it's a surprise he's not in the top 25% of earners at the bombers. Apparently he signed his current contract in 2013 so I guess it was before he emerged as a top line player and consequently isn't on big dollars.

                              This.

                              He's grown immensely as a footballer in the last 2 years.

                                          Rumours are Hooker's management have some major indicative offers for him to leave Essendon. My uninformed guess would be Freo.

                                          The other rumour is Hurley is not training with the main Essendon group. Maybe he's not going back...

                                                  But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.
