    Vikery and Cloke I'd say. If there are any woofers over 192cm get down to training
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

      They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

        I attended the Bulldogs CBD Business lunch today and Bevo was one of the speakers. He said Hurley rang him and apologized for not taking up our offer and explained his reasons. We were very close to signing him up.

          Did he mention what the reasons were?

          They can roll out the BS about loyalty, but this was a decision based very much on the power of the folding stuff.

              I still think Essendon have just created a bigger problem for themselves. They needed to take more pain than this. People (and the media) will start asking questions soon.

              I hope Hurley got a "Whatever, listen I've just got something, ummm, see ya." and dial tone from the other end of the phone from Bevo.

                Yep, easy to apologise and save face by spouting BS about loyalty.
                Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                  Of course the BS was rolled out on loyalty, but we all know it was the all might $$$$$$

                    Good in the sense that Hurley who is a good footballer is going to be a major drain on the Essendon salary cap - can see them trying to offload him on 3 years time

                      Re: Michael Hurley

                      Because the banned players have to give back their awards and honours and that then does Hurley have to give back his All Australian Jumper and trophy and medal and stuff?

                        Since when are the banned players giving back their awards?
                        More of an In Bruges guy?

                          Yeah I was about to ask. Watson still has his Brownlow.

                            Ongoing finals, Premierships vs dirty money. At some stage he will look back on his career with regret.

                              I'm sure he'll live in an ongoing state of despair

                                Yeah life for him sure is gonna suck earning $800k a year to play footy with his mates. Hopefully he can find a support group that will help him get through life day by day. It will be a struggle not playing for the club that posters on WOOF love, that's for sure, but hopefully with the right support, the young man will one day get out of this dark, black hole.
