Hes a very, very good player and if thats the decision Michael makes, ultimately we need to make sure we throw our hat in the ring.Adelaide and North Melbourne have also been speculated to be in the hunt to lure the star defender.Hurley, JJobe Watson, Michael Hibberd, Tayte Pears, Ben Howlett and Brent Stanton are the other suspended Essendon players still to declare their intentions for next season.ddddddddddddHurley would be a welcome addition to a side on the cusp of challenging for a premiership but Beveridge has more pressing concerns.The Bulldogs have been in damage control of late in the face of a flurry of injuries but Beveridge dismissed the notion his sides premiership ambitions will have to wait until next year as a result.Try telling our players that, he said.We feel like theres still a lot of growth left in us ... we feel like theres some boys who can definitely come into the side and help us on our way.Beveridge revealed there is a slim chance Dogs forward Stewart Crameri, also serving an anti-doping suspension stemming from Essendons supplements program, could play finals this season if the players appeal is upheld by a Swiss court.Beveridge signed a three-year contract extension on Tuesday, tying him to the club until the end of the 2020 season.
