Bellchambers has been linked with a move to Greater Western Sydney, but the 201cm ruckman told AFL.com.au his focus remains firmly on 2013.
"It doesn't play a role in my head at all. I go out there to play football for the Essendon Football Club and that's all I can control at the moment," Bellchambers said after Essendon's loss to Hawthorn on Friday night.
"My manager's in constant talks with the footy club and hopefully we'll get something done sooner rather than later."
The 24-year-old started forward in Friday night's 56-point pounding at the hands of the Hawks at Etihad Stadium.
The Bombers started the game with Bellchambers and Patrick Ryder deep forward, alongside Michael Hurley and youngster Joe Daniher in an attempt to stretch the undersized Hawks backline.
The method appeared an act of genius from Bombers coach James Hird, initially, as Bellchambers and Ryder both booted goals opposed to Hawthorn captain Luke Hodge.
But as Hawthorn began to control the tempo of the game, Essendon's tall forwards were simply unable to apply the necessary pressure to stop the Hawks rebounding from defence.
Michael Hurley (three goals) was really the only Bombers forward to have any effect on the game, while the Bombers substituted Daniher for nippy forward Leroy Jetta at three-quarter time.
Bellchambers' role in the side is an interesting one. As the backup ruckman to Ryder, the out-of-contract big man is being forced to spend significant chunks of the game up forward.
The Bombers' lack of forward pressure was a sticking point identified by Bellchambers after the loss.
"I think they were probably running the ball out of our forward line a little bit too easily," he said.
"The number of uncontested marks they had was really high so, I guess, when you play the three talls down there it probably does take away from that ground level pressure.
"It puts the backs under a lot of pressure and that's why Buddy (Lance Franklin) and Roughy (Jarryd Roughead) get that kind of delivery."
As Bellchambers alluded to, Hawthorn had an excessive amount of uncontested marks – leading that category 117-81.
Bellchambers said they were "taught a lesson" by the Hawks and with a big five weeks coming up, starting with Collingwood next round, the Bombers have plenty to work on in the lead in to finals.
Stewart Crameri missed Friday night's game with an ankle injury and his inclusion will add some much needed mobility to the Bombers' forward line.
With usual defender Jake Carlisle able to be swung forward at the drop of a hat, you get the feeling there's still plenty of scenarios and options to be trialled by Hird and his coaching staff before September.
