Essendon has made a further two changes to its list ahead of the 2017 season.
The Club would like to thank Nick Kommer and Yestin Eades for their contributions to the Club after both players were delisted today.
General Manager of Football, Rob Kerr, thanked Kommer for his service over the past four seasons.
“Nick is a wonderful young man and an extremely popular member of the playing group,” Kerr said.
“Despite the injury setbacks Nick has faced since arriving at the Club, he has always maintained professional standards and shown commitment in his approach to developing his football career.
“Nick is also a great role model and leads by example in his efforts within the community, in particular his work with Ladder – supporting young people at-risk or experiencing homelessness."
Kerr also thanked Eades for his efforts during his first year as the Club will consider its options to re-list the 19-year old.
“Yestin has a lot of raw talent and he will be given every chance to secure a spot on the Club’s rookie list in the upcoming rookie draft,” Kerr said.
“We will continue to follow his journey and progress over the coming weeks.
“Both Nick and Yestin will always be welcome at the Essendon Football Club and we wish them all the best for the future.”
Kommer was drafted to the Club with pick 73 in the 2012 National Draft and played 22 senior games for the Bombers after making his debut in Round 1, 2013 against Adelaide.
Eades was drafted to the Club with pick 64 in the 2015 National Draft and made his debut in the VFL during the 2016 season.

- Michael Hibberd – Traded to Melbourne Football Club
