Essendon recruit Adam Cooney admits it was bittersweet to leave the Bulldogs and move to the Bombers in a trade for pick 37 at next month's draft. Cooney says the lure of playing at a 'big club' was main reason for his move.

ESSENDON can look forward to a "meat and potatoes type pre-season" as James Hird takes the reins of his side for its 2015 campaign.
Hird is back in charge after the Bombers board backed him to retain the top job earlier this month.
And after returning from overseas where he was finishing some studies, Hird is looking forward to planning the club's pre-season with his assistants.

Hird said the Bombers, like other clubs, would scale back their high-altitude activity this summer.
A smaller group of just four or five players will travel to Colorado in December but the majority of the club's playing group will stay at its Tullamarine base.

Earlier this month Hird said his club would stay closer to home to work on specific requirements.
"We will train pretty hard, it will be a meat and potatoes type pre-season but one where we work on all things we need to work on to get them in the conditioning they need to be in throughout the year," he told essendonfc.com.au.
RING-A-DING: BELLCHAMBERS LOOKING GOOD
This week the Bombers will narrow their focus on the long summer ahead.
"At the beginning of this week the coaches start to come back from their break," Essendon high performance manager Neil Craig told the Bombers' website.
"James comes back from overseas over the weekend and he is really keen to sit down with Mark Harvey, Nathan Bassett and Matty Egan to plan.
"They have done some planning but this is about 'let's really roll up the sleeves and get the detail into the program'.
"The players start to come back the week after and then all of a sudden it is back on you again so it is amazing how quickly it comes around."
Essendon's youngsters, including the likes of Dyson Heppell and Jake Carlisle, return to training on November 5.
