I mentioned it three hours ago that we should go after him, not that i'm the first. Is Robbo a member of all clubs forums? I'd be suitably impressed. "Are we making a play for Michael Hurley?" just seemed like the most glaringly obvious question to ask after yesterdays defensive effort. 

 

Does anyone love how the chrome tab has a melbourne icon next to the name Michael Hurley above ^^?

Was just mentioned on SEN that Hurley is 50/50 to be at Essendon and Melbourne is a massive chance due to the Simon Goodwin relationship.. Giddy up!

Hypothetically if he wants to come to us, and doesn't/cannot void his contract what would you entertain in the form of a trade? 

Open the offer with 2017 1st Round Pick & Dawes to help Daniher out and go from there.

They managed to get a decent pick for milkshakes from us and managed to make the saints fold regarding carslile.

I have full faith in the footy club now but I do worry how much we would have to give up....

 

Hopefully Hurley hates Essendon now after everything, tears up his contract and gives them the 2 finger salute walking out the door.

Considering that he signed in March 2012, and that WorkSafe imposed their heaviest sanctions against the club, and that he was banned for 12 months.

I have no doubt he or lawyers could argue that his contract is void, and if he is enticing a move at years end, he and his manager will be ready for a pre-organised exit.

I'd be annoyed if they all come back next year 'on a mission' having gained a top 3 draft pick and leap frog us into finals.. 

Hurley leaving for nothing seems like a great way to end their punishment...

Especially if he comes to us ;)

Just the thought of dealing with Essendon for a trade with Hurley. 

ugh, they will demand Viney and Hogan as a start.

they thought Ryder was worth Wines or Wingard and a first round pick

Don't think we will go for Hurley unless he is a free agent.

Agree, don't give Essendrug an inch. Let alone even one of our scraps that will be delisted at the end of the year.

If Robbo is saying he is a chance to leave it probably isn't far off the truth, he is a mad Bombers fan and wouldn't be passing on bad information about Essendon.

Except their innocence....

Haven't read every page so this may have been mentioned. Can Essendon rort the salary cap by paying its players "compensation"....??

 

How does the AFL differentiate?

You can imagine this Club, Essendon, would be like Maxwell Smart's "Cone of Silence" joining the Joint( Hah, play on word) and Knights Templar expulsion trying to get out.

I have been wondering exactly the same thing. How is the compensation decided? Does the club get to negotiate and reach an out of court settlement? If so, what's to stop them paying a million and a half bucks to Heppell as compo and then putting him on, say, a $400k/year contract over 5 years?

My mail is that another AFL club has offered him squillions. Nup won't be coming to us!

Thatcwould depend on who it was and what he wants. If he wants cash then he will go there, if he wants success and that team is at the bottom with no hope of climbing in the next few years then we are still in the hunt.

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie
