David Zaharakis and Michael Hurley have been declared fit and ready for Essendon’s season opener against the Crows on Friday night. Doubts were cast over the pair after suffering injuries in the pre-season.

Adelaide recruit Brad Crouch was not named in the Crows side, the 19 year old was recruited at the end of 2011 in the mini-draft but was unable to play in 2012.
