Michael Hurley

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 ^^?

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

    Dodoro - We would like Petracca, Viney, Hogan and Oliver

    We can package a 2nd rounder with Hurley as a sweetener

    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 hope he does walk and bombers get nothing, even if it's not to us I want to see at least 1 player walk from the club the bombers deserve it after what they put them through, and the bombers supporters sooking would be glorious

    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?

    I know, every time i think about it, i feel like i need a shower. Would Hurley truly be worth it?

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

    Next!

    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.

    Hurley to Tigers for their 1st round pick #6 plus Ben Lennon

    If he wants to go, that would be a good result for the bombers

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
