Essendon reportedly increases offer for Jed Walter, according to Cal Twomey

Essendon is reported to have increased its offer for forward Jed Walter. Multiple outlets—The Age, Brisbane Times, and the Sydney Morning Herald—attribute the development to AFL journalist Cal Twomey. The reports describe the change as a “mega offer,” but they do not provide further details in the supplied excerpts on the proposed deal structure, the exact figures, or how Walter’s club has responded. The coverage is consistent in stating that Essendon has raised its bid and that the information originates from Twomey. No source in the provided material confirms whether Walter is likely to accept the offer, whether negotiations are continuing, or whether there are other clubs involved. The reports therefore focus on the update to Essendon’s interest and the escalation of its offer rather than on broader transaction outcomes.
