Rumour Hurley to stay at Essendon

[Xtreme]

Well if he came to Hawthorn I'd quit watching AFL.... so then I guess everyone would be hoping he comes to the Hawks then

 

[Doss]

No you wouldn't.

Quit talking out of your backside, Xtreme.

 

[Xtreme]

I actually would, I couldn't under any circumstance support a team of a league that recruits a player that has been found guilty of an offence by the CAS care of WADA.

Yeah, you're going to drop your Hawks like a hot potato if they recruit Hurley, sure...

I 100% would

Unlike the AFL media I do take drugs in sport seriously

I would so love it if the Hawks went after Hurley now. My guess is that the worst you would do is grumble about him being there, before eventually forgiving him after you conclude that he's served his penalty and everybody deserves a second chance. There's no way you are going to drop the team you've supported all your life over one questionable player.

The thing that makes me feel awkward about Melbourne's interest in Hurley is not the Essendon drug scandal - that has played itself out already - but the assault he committed on an innocent taxi driver. I'm not sure he's such a good guy.

Not quite, I was rope-able that they were "considering" Carlisle last year, don't want "tainted" players in the team. Luckily they saw common sense (and St Kilda leap frogged everyone).

I wouldn't want Maria Sharapova representing my country again in a sport she was banned competing in.

I'd want Maria Sharapova everyday of the week and twice on Sundays.

On topic: this thread is disproven by Essendon's press release from a few days ago.

A Hawks supporter with the loyalty of Tiger Woods- I'm SHOCKED . Probably a 4 year member too.

Yeah I'm sure your heart was genuinely in your mouth when Hawthorn pushed for Carlisle last year.

Anyway you're all talk and this a pointless discussion. If list managers and coaches had as inflexible a view as you do they wouldn't have a job.

You can read my thoughts about how stupid Hawthorn would be if they signed him on the Hawthorn board

 

[Doss]

You inhabit a curious world, Xtreme.

Stay gold.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

They literally had a press release from the club two days ago saying he has been offered a new contract, this thread is crap.

Yeah, followed by an article in the press of how he'd be offered a 5yr contract.

You can smell the desperation in getting that signature.

I do take drugs, seriously

You'd love our boy, ABASI MODERATOR but I would be amazed if you could afford to pay him, especially in light of recent rumours circulating regarding player payments at Hawthorn.

The important thing to note is that he is already contracted and the offer mooted is actually an extension...

But you continued supporting Hawthorn after injunctiongate?

A 5yr extension?

Sounds like they're not confident.

 

[hawks realist]

He will stay. Birds of a feather and all that.
I wish Carlisle,Ryder and co were still there too

 

[DERO]

A 5yr extension?

Sounds like they're not confident.

Maybe. Although he is worthy of a 5 year deal. Hibberd, Howlett etc are not.

[katana]

Righto, what's wrong with right now?

dont want to distract playing group from an important finals campaign.

 

[Milanista28]

Lol this Extreme bloke is struggling aye.

 

[pablo668]

I thought he had already signed.....
(My knowledge of Essendon et al is next to non-existent though)

Lucky he's not going to Hawthorn. I imagine it would be difficult to get into the game having to turn your back 25+ times.
