ESSENDON coach John Worsfold says David Myers is again available for senior selection, having omitted himself earlier in the season.

AFL.com.au revealed last month the veteran Bomber approached the club after its round eight loss to Sydney - when his after-the-siren shot fell short - and 'dropped' himself to the VFL to regain form and confidence.

He was also keen to see some younger teammates get opportunities through the midfield.

Myers has played at a high level in the VFL since then, and Worsfold said the 30-year-old has been back available for the AFL line-up for several weeks.  

"I talk to 'Myersy' regularly about what the team needs and where he's at and we weigh all that up then we make a call on whether he's likely to come in or not," Worsfold said on Wednesday.

"Basically, Myersy is available for selection as the team requires. That's been pretty much the same case for the last month or so, I would say."

Myers, who played six of the Bombers' first eight games before the move, is out of contract at the end of this season. Worsfold said he was yet to discuss whether he would remain at Essendon in 2020.

"I haven't spoken to him about next year in any great detail. We're getting towards that time where, in terms of list management, [where] we'll get a feel for what players are thinking about. We'll have those conversations I'd say in early August," he said.

Worsfold praised Myers for his decision to step back from the AFL side, with the 122-gamer also saying leading the VFL team had given him plenty of enjoyment. The Bombers are on top of the VFL ladder.

"I think it's a brave and selfless decision that he made around how he felt ... in his personal best interests, but which was going to definitely be in the team's best interests," the coach said.

"It's an interesting thing to juggle – what the team needs and what he needs personally and what we can work together.

"I've been really pleased with the way the whole group has handled that, match committee, coaches, players and David."

Myers, Mark Baguley and Mitch Brown are among the older Bombers who remain uncontracted for 2020.
