He's just turned 27, which gives him how long to win a flag at Essendon? 3-4 years?
With so many question marks over experienced players, it's not looking likely.

Cant tell if he's still in denial like so many Essendon supporters we've seen. Perhaps the players are innocent and are just guilty of being naïve if that's a better word for it. But this still leaves the club at fault in so many ways.

Well I guess he's kind of right as he didn't take the banned substance and had to sit out of a finals series. But the club refused to take responsibility and had this 'protecting the players' attitude. Were they protecting players or themselves? As we know the players were later found guilty and had to sit out 1 season anyway. (Luckily not 2 seasons).

Bloody hell. Is Hird responsible in any way or not?
A question I have is, will Zaharakis stay at Essendon as he is a free agent at seasons end?
Considering everything that's happened, with banned players mostly staying and the fact that he is a complete sucker for the club, I cant see him leaving. But has he had enough of his surroundings in any way? Is he still angry? Is he angry at the club? Is money an issue?
If a club with a chance to finish top 4 comes knocking, surly he has a look?
