Congratulations Michael Hurley

[abers47]

Well done Michael - Round 20 Rising Star nomination!!!

 

[AndyLesPaul]

Congrats to him.
There's no way he'll win it, but good effort this year nonetheless


I wanna see a pic of him over Riewoldt

 

[daffo]

He did play really well but I thought he would still be another week away from the nomination.
That's three Bombers this year with the nomination! Great effort by the development coaches.

whoops i congratulated him in the player watch part!! well done hurls youll be a star thats for sure!! too bad he didnt get the rising star nom next yr he'd prob go close to winning it with a full season!!

 

[Super Gusto]

awesome news. That makes three this year. Great signs for the future. Go Bombers.

 

[BrunoV]

Couldn't be happier with Hurley.

Took a few strong marks and kicked a few last week.

Went back against St Kilda and outmarket Riewoldt and seems very composed in the backline.

Such a versatile player, he will be a gun.

Can't he still be nominated and win it next year? If not that's dumb.

if he plays less than 10 games, my oath he can be nominated and win it next year

 

[keepzitreal]

Didn’t he already get nominated in Round 1?

 

[warney7]

Didn’t he already get nominated in Round 1?

Yeah, coz they nominate some guys twice....

Well done Michael!

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Didn’t he already get nominated in Round 1?

no. Try Rich on for size

 

[daffo]

Yeah, my memory Nathan Jones from Melb was nominated two years in a row.

Was this his eighth? Coz that's what I seem to recall, but that would suck.

 

[Brent Prismall#9]

Congrats hurley your a star and will be a star for a long time!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Andre 2000]

Should've picked Rich.

 

[Bombs Away]

A bittersweet day for the bombers.

Ther rise of one star on a day when another pulls the pin.

Congrats Hurls - lots of memories to come

Congrats Scotty - on all the great memories

 

[Kong]

I was just about to post something along those lines..

Anybody else find it 'funny' (for lack of a better word) that the day Lucas retires, Hurley receives his 'baptism'?

Both drafted with high picks as prodigious Victorian talents, noted for being potential stars at either end of the ground.

Our club is in great hands.

 

[james_omahoney]

Theres a debate and a half. Nice one big Mick. Well deserved.

Not trying to compare players per se', but it's interesting to note that Rich's best weapon Hurley also has - a long, penetrating, accurate kick. Obviously used to different effect, though.

He doesn't need no stupid midfielders award anyway, will just show what he can do for another 300 games.

And poor Carlton are stuck with C.Yarran

it's a beautiful thing

 

[The Dustbin]

Well done on the RS nom.

LOL at Carlton and Yarran. I love Hurley, instant man crush.

 

[essendon]

Well done to a future legend of our great club, give him the number 5 jumper next year he may be the closest resemblance to hirdy we may see for the next 10-15 years, its gonna b exciting to watch this kid

 

[Essendon_2000]

Will he be eligible again next year? If he is the award will be his.

 

[Tony Delaney]

Can't remember a better first half a dozen games. How good is this kid going to be. Very very exciting times ahead. Superstar.
