I honestly struggle with the loyalty thing. If my employer did to me what was done to these guys, it would inspire very little loyalty in me.

That is why 'loyal' was in quotation marks, guys.:rolleyes:

I'm sure training as a group would be beneficial for him. I'm sure his angst wouldn't have been with the players. 

Until he signs something IMO there is no significant development.

Him training with the bombers is no different to Stewart Cremeri training with the Essendon boys right now.

Hate to be bearer of disappointing news.  Channel 7 is reporting that Hurley has started training with the core banned players, (which he has refrained from up til now).

A significant development suggesting he will re-sign with EFC.

If he and Hibberd are a 'package' and will stay together or go together then we could almost cross him off the list as well.

If true good on them for being 'loyal'.

We all move on. I am sure mfc will strengthen our defence with an experienced player.  Full confidence!

Proves there was something going down which took till 15th June to sort out (cure) and someone had to do something about it quick. So C7 sniffer(sleeping) dogs pulled their collective fingers out  and were informed about  no smoke here anymore. Big powers at play in Bomberland  Some hell of reports to be read one day.

Pretty sure that same vision included Melksham returning to train with that same banned group? Unless they merged the two stories to make it seem that way. 

Butttt if it's the first then not entirely sure that hurley training is enough to say he is a bomber next year

ESSENDON would receive no free agency compensation pick if Michael Hurley walked out to one of a growing list of AFL suitors.

The All-Australian centre half-back remains unwilling to commit to the Bombers.

Essendon could have cashed in on Cale Hooker’s departure by securing a free agency compensation selection in the top handful of national draft selections.

But is understood if Hurley left as a free agent, it would be as a delisted free agent for which the club receives no compensation.

So no trade required, although it could be a good move to trade for him rather than go through the court process and setting a worrying precedent.

So it would be good to acquiesce to the outrageous demands of dodo, and sell the farm, rather than take a fantastic player for free?

 

I think if you were to join our recruiting team, That would be the worrying precedent.....

The precedent would only include those who have been banned for PEDs I would presume, hardly a common occurence

Im not sure this is such a good thing. In a way it makes it harder for Hurley to walk . It mean his old club, which he is bound to feel some allegience to, will get nada if he goes. A fcat, that should he go, would be bound to cost him friendships. If he's angry enough and wants to go then great but if he's waivering then this set up would probably lean him into staying.

Why would you feel any allegiance to a club that looked upon you as a guinea pig at best ??

Id burn down their club with glee before re-signing with such !!

This  old club stuff...just bullshlt that EFC want anyone and everyone to buy into

I would like friends who gave me advice that was beneficial to my overall wellbeing, not friends who had other allegiances and vested interests like the ones who have been around in the past.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
