The Club are happy to confirm that Lewis Hayes will not require further surgery on his ACL, after an exploratory arthroscope this morning confirmed an ACL sprain.
Hayes is expected to be available to commence training at the start of pre-season 👇

@AllEssendon I think the extra rookie list spots similar to what West Coast received are as valuable as anything too - more talent on the list = more chances for good players to come through and we don’t need to make calls on players early
If the AFL says no picks I’d hope we still get that
@AlexJDonnelly Yeah with a % of 98, 6th worst in the league…
Had a soft fixture but got absolutely whalloped by half decent sides. Doesn’t suit your narrative though hey
@FOXFOOTY End of the day if they get the gig that noise is there regardless of if Hird was ruled out before a process, or you beat him out during it.
If you want the job with him not in the running might as well go for it now, won’t change anything to be frank
@reecehutchy45@FOXFOOTY I mean if you get the job over him and the fanbase doesn’t leave you alone, then let’s be real, ruling him out first and you then get the job isn’t changing that.
Say what you want about Brad Scott, but it’s been a classy exit.
Didn’t always agree with his on-field coaching, but there’s no doubt he did a lot of important stuff that went unseen to get the club on track. Think history eventually will be kind to his tenure.
@ScooterMcNeice@Curtopuntshard Perkins best games across his career have included decent midfield minutes. He’s an excellent kick and strong through tackles
His last 3 weeks have felt brought a much better intensity, give him a real crack in there I say
@SilentGhost263@SilverTopHurls@JasonC988635@FootyLock6@AnthP_@CraiG_Mc I think even beyond that they know the noise won’t go away once they get the gig.
We aren’t going to suddenly make finals next year, so you get the job, we’re ordinary and the first bad loss the whispers will be everywhere calling for Hird.
That’s arguably the biggest issue
@ess_b_11@kanecornes I think you missed the point with Kane.
He was somewhat tongue in cheeky - SURELY Hird said no last year so it’s still no now, I think he knew Hird wanted it but was trying to make it sound silly.
More so Caro’s news that might seem off now
