Re: Michael Hurley
A big yes please to Hurley. Not a fan when he does the red and black but in our colours he will be a sensation.Comment

Re: Michael Hurley
Tony Leonard mentioned today that Hurley has agreed to the deal in principle and that he is 99% likely to be a Bulldog next year. He said he is dirty with Essendon and will not care one iota if the Bulldogs get him for free. Expect the 5 year deal to stand, contract undisclosed. Leonard from Connors direct.But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.Comment

Re: Michael Hurley
Interesting. Though I'm not getting my hopes up.
I wonder what Connors gets from disclosing this information to Leonard, given Leonard just blabs it out at the first opportunity! Could it be he's escalating the process to see if he can squeeze more from other interested parties? Or is Leonard just plain old lucky?TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.Comment

Re: Michael Hurley
Hurley as a DFA would be the second best free agent signing behind Buddy. Hopefully he can bring some disenchanted Essendon members over to us.

Re: Michael Hurley
I think there is a huge advantage for Hurley and Connors if there is speculation that the player has all but agreed to go to one club so early in proceedings. Teams like Essendon and Richmond who are just playing out their season can have a good look at things and see how they can sweeten their offer and change his mind. It also allows team like Adelaide and maybe North, who are likely to review their Dads Army approach at the end of the season, the chance of entering the race for his services given they now might have a benchmark that they can work towards.
Until clubs rule themselves out of the race for him, much like GWS did with Franklin, or the media still have us as the favourite in late September I tend to think there is a lot more to play out here.
While its great to have our name so strongly linked with him I also remember Crameri nearly back flipped a couple of times before he made the hard call.

Any audio of this?Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.Comment

Re: Michael Hurley
Yep. I think his signing would be huge for memberships too. Let's say it happens, would we ever have had a better, more talented or highly selected spine in one/two years time:
Adams (35) / Collins (26)
Hurley (5)
Bontempelli (4)
Stringer (5)
Boyd (1)
Edit: Imagine if we got Marchbank (6) - Our spine on cumulative draft order numbers would be a mere 21. The lowest in history is guess.Last edited by bulldogtragic; 20-07-2016, 09:50 PM.Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023Comment

Re: Michael Hurley
Yep. The 7th one was one of the most disrespectful goals I've ever seen.
