ESSENSON is confident Michael Hurley will play in the season-opener against Adelaide despite the star forward wearing a moonboot to protect an injured ankle.
Hurley sustained the injury in the Bombers' easy win against Greater Western Sydney in Canberra on Friday.
The Bombers have this weekend off before their March 22 clash with the Crows.
While Hurley climbed onto the stage in his moonboot at the club's family day today, teammate Brent Stanton said he had assured the club he would be ready.
"It's a lot more precautionary than probably what you can see from the outside," Stanton said.
"He's confident, so is the doctor and so are the coaches.
"He's come in this morning - he's done extensive rehab over the last couple of days.
"But he's reassured us that it's just a general rolled ankle and he's going to be right to go in two weeks' time against Adelaide."
Stanton said the Bombers were content with their preparation after the 91-point thrashing of GWS, despite the Giants managing just three scoring shots in the the second half.
"GWS still had a very good crack at us and we were able to withstand it," Stanton said.
"We played the way we wanted to play - we were pretty happy with that.
"But we've still got a long way in terms of where we want to get to in our defensive structures."
