JJ STILL LEADS HIRD
Despite missing the Elimination final against the West Coast Eagles, James Hird is only three points away from leading the TAG Heuer Player of the Year competition. The Bombers skipper is in second place on 44 points behind ladder leader Jason Johnson. Johnson has continued his 2001 best and fairest winning form, with another solid season in the mid-field. The 24-year-old is leading the Bombers kicks and tackles for the season, 309 and 82 respectively. However, the question on everyone's lips is - ""can he fight off the late challenge from James Hird to win the TAG Heuer Player of the Year competition?""

Essendon is likely to appeal a two match suspension handed down to Dusitn Fletcher by the AFL tribunal tonight. Fletcher was found guilty of misconduct in that he allegedly made unreasonable and unnecessary contact to the leg of Chris Judd during the second quarter of the First Elimination Final at Colonial Stadium last Saturday. If the penalty stands Fletcher will not play again this season unless Essendon make the Grand Final.
