Retired #18: Michael Hurley 🐻 - Staying on in a coaching and player welfare role! - 3/10

[Lore]

Non-contact for another week but otherwise has a full training load.

“Hurls had a shoulder reconstruction and he’s really at the end of his rehabilitation phase. He’s been training essentially fully with the group except for contact,” Rundle said on Tuesday.

“He’s at the end of his contact progressions now and should be integrating fully with the group within the next week or so.”

Injury update: Stars on track for return

A number of important Bombers are on track to hit the ground running in the 2020 season.

Paul Chapman...What a call.

 

[Liberator]

Woof!
Not really. :->

 

[Charliebrow 16]

Just total and complete euphoria. When I think of current day Essendon, I think Hurls. It wouldn't have been right had he... he... I can't even say it. Overjoyed to have you back, Mick!

 

[windyhill]

This is just great news - feel like the fog is finally starting to lift after the last 3 years of consistent bullshit our players and club have have to put up with. Well done Hurley

With Hurls now locked away long term and Hooker our back 6 is going to have some pretty good depth with the likes of Brown and Hartley and possibly Dea.

[ghostdog]

[Runk]

I think I'm going to have to log off. I need to chill out for a bit.

That's a back 6 that holds oppositions goalless for the odd quarter here and there.

 

[quotemokc]

$800k per year is a bargain. (same as Hookers $750k)

The teams that would have been chasing him would have likely paid him more.

Party like it's 2017.

Hartley or Brown in the Fletcher role?

 

[EnolaGay]

What a day of mixed emotions I've had, said a last goodbye to my 13 year old dog this morning and then this afternoon get this great news from EFC.

Thanks Hurls for making a tough day a helluva lot brighter than I thought it would be.

Go Bombers!

Oh, and how about that Connors, hey - maybe not the evil mastermind afterall?

Wow, emotional day mate. Hope this is a bit of a boost for you at least.

 

[EnolaGay]

Old age?

Yeah mate, arthritis etc. You prepare yourself for these things but they're still tough to go through. Thankyou Hurls!
