One or two Premierships should get him out of the Essendon mindset. I think winning a final would do it too.

There's enough info to figure it out though, Tweets are publicJust his/her username etc I'd say?
Interesting how the AFl runs this story about someone coming to the Hawks for money yet makes a big deal about others staying for the jumper when they know its not trueReally good article, love the honesty and as the article says, there a lot of stories like this in the AFL. I reckon I’d be putting my family ahead of the bombers too
Money talks: He says he loves Essendon, so why is Hartley a Hawk?...Test
For every Tim Kelly and Bradley Hill mega-deal, there are more stories like new Hawk Michael Hartley'sm.afl.com.au

and theres players who would have changed clubs if the AFL hadnt tipped in more money and then run articles about loyalty being the reason on their websitesI really don't think that's the point of the article.
It's about the decisions the players "off Broadway" have to make because their opportunities are limited and their careers are far from straightforward.
The "money" is a red herring. Almost every time a player changes club he's getting paid more money. You think any free agent has changed clubs for less?
"I love Essendon".......you are at the wrong club muppet
I would think Hartley is behind Frost.This really does free Sicily and Scrimshaw up, great cover for Frawley and means we don't have to rush Kosi's development.

What did you expect him to say?

Frawley didn't take a pay cut. Frawley had a front ended deal at Melbourne and in his last year wasn't being paid enough to be in their top 10% so he was an UFA instead of a RFA. When Melbourne knew that they would get pick 3 for him they low balled him hard to push him out knowing that they could never get that pick in a trade.I agree with you for the bulk of what you're saying, but yes. Tom Lynch quite obviously took a pay cut to leave Gold Coast, and I think Frawley may have taken a small one to come to the Hawks back in 2015.

I stand corrected. Bullshit that a player not in the top 10% paid players can net a club that pick in compensation.
Ever heard of Stockholm syndrome?"I love Essendon".......you are at the wrong club muppet
I think we need to cut him some slack.Would have loved for him to say “Hawthorn made me a better offer, I saw opportunity to work with Clarko and I’m pumped to pull on the brown and gold”.. he didn’t need to mention his love for that s**t stain, filthy cheating joint.
Man you need a new hobby if this is how fired up you get over a football club.Would have loved for him to say “Hawthorn made me a better offer, I saw opportunity to work with Clarko and I’m pumped to pull on the brown and gold”.. he didn’t need to mention his love for that s**t stain, filthy cheating joint.
Some people say footy is a matter of Life and Death, but that's ridiculous. It's much more than that!Man you need a new hobby if this is how fired up you get over a football club.
It's Essendon, maybe you should get a new hobby.Man you need a new hobby if this is how fired up you get over a football club.

People who come out the other side of a drug dependency often have lingering issues.
We should commend him on the steps he has taken so far.
lolI hate Essendon, I don't need hobbies, I need the players of the club I support (financially and emotionally) to understand that it's most important stakeholders (the ones that help pay their wages) don't want to hear about their love for that s**t hole. Pretty standard.
