Essendon Targets Hawks Midfielder and Eagles Defender
Essendon is actively pursuing new talent as they look to bolster their squad for the upcoming season. The Bombers have set their sights on two promising players: Finn Maginness from Hawthorn and Josh Rotham, a free agent from West Coast.
Finn Maginness, a skilled midfielder, is currently under contract with the Hawks for another year. This means that for Essendon to secure his services, a trade would need to be negotiated. The Bombers are keen on adding outside run to their midfield, and Maginness’s agility and pace could significantly enhance their game plan.
On the other hand, Josh Rotham has caught Essendon’s attention as a versatile defender. As an unrestricted free agent, Rotham has the flexibility to choose his next club, making him an attractive option for the Bombers. With his future at West Coast uncertain beyond 2025, Rotham could provide much-needed depth and experience to Essendon’s backline.
Both players represent exciting opportunities for Essendon as they aim to strengthen their roster ahead of the new season. The potential acquisitions of Maginness and Rotham highlight the Bombers’ commitment to improving their competitiveness in the league, paving the way for a more dynamic and effective team on the field.
