I believe Essendon are allowed to promote 5 of their six rookies (they have two category B rookies) as well as adding up to 10 players. PA will promote 2 rookies, leaving them one player short of Essendon. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/teams/essendon/essendon-guilty-verdict-afl-announces-measures-to-allow-bombers-to-play-in-2016/news-story/2353a944791a6c619a30348875538a31

Ted Lasso 19,586 Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Really bothers me that there is almost a celebration of the players that are being signed as top up players, in my opinion the top ups should not be selected ahead of any of the remaining listed players and only used in the case of injuries, remembering that this situation has come about as a punishment, and really it's just becoming a case of minimizing the damage.

Of course some of our more sanctimonious supporters won't want a "drug cheat" at the club, but I'm far more interested in trying to win a flag.

DistrACTION Jackson 10,806 Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 How sweet it would be to snatch Hurley from the Bombers....
Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,681 Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Don't want to start a new thread about these scum, but had to post my disgust WRT Anzac day. After having their rights to the day questioned, their response: "“Everyone understands this game is about Essendon and Collingwood. It’s why the game is played, it’s the clubs that have driven it for so long." I always thought it was meant to be about remembering the diggers
whatwhat say what 24,024 Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 for so long? it was 1995 that they played that epic draw, wasn't it? that was the first one i seem to remember.

Let's hope by the end of the year Essendrug is such a basket case that that applies to their good players too - regardless of where the players actually go.

Of course some of our more sanctimonious supporters won't want a "drug cheat" at the club, but I'm far more interested in trying to win a flag. I had no info at the time, but Mark Harvey has told a good source that Melbourne are right into Hurley. Now I know a lot of clubs would be, but Melbourne was specifically mentioned. The only club mentioned. Who knows ? He'll probably stay, but he might want a fresh start and at 24-25 he might not see a flag at Essendon. Plenty of his mates have moved on, including Melksham. And he'll also be familiar with Goodwin. I hope we go hard. Hogan up front, Hurley down back with that developing midfield could be very exciting. I'm sure the Hawks and Pies, etc. will be just as keen.
whatwhat say what 24,024 Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 would love hurley at the dees. he's the player i most wanted when we picked watts. he's no guarantee to stick to the bombers.
