Unpopular opinion but ... why recruit Michael Hurley when we have capable depth in key defence and also players capable of developing beyond our current group (albeit not as good as Hurley) - I'm talking about Marsh, Keefe and .... shock horror, perhaps even White.

I'd rather save the money for an a-grade outside mid or half back - two positions we are already deficient in with very little coming through.
 
Essendon basically have a blank cheque to sign Hurley with regards to 'settlement' money, his manager is clearly just milking them for every last cent. He will not be going anywhere.

Also, people on here not rating him clearly haven't paid enough attention. He is an absolute gun and certainly is worth 900k with the coming increase in the salary cap. But we can't afford him.

This thread has taught me that Hurley's first name is Michael. I'm not convinced we have room for a Michael on our list.

Last good one I can remember is Mal.

He walked past me the other day and it's fair to say he looks a bit different now.

That's good news. He can be seriously considered now.

Sorry.
Can't comment on the hair on his head as he had a cap on.
The facial hair however, has exploded!

I REALLY LIKE HOW THE THREAD HAS A RUMOR PREFIX AND THEN THE TITLE IS ALL IN CAPITALS. IT'S LIKE YOU'RE TRYING TO GET US EXCITED BY IT ENOUGH TO CLICK ON THE THREAD. DO YOU BY ANY CHANCE WORK FOR THE HUN?
 
900K is too much IMHO, I prefer Reid and I don't think we pay him that much. Marsh will come on and with Keeffe back next year does the benefit warrant the cost?

We have 1 quality key back and he's injury prone. We either have a bucket load of cap space or our list management has been appalling. We should be able to recruit Hurley AND a mid and still have room to move. Keefe is an average soccer convert and he hasn't played for 2 years. Marsh might be a good player but there is a lot of water to flow yet and even if he is we'd still be short of quality down back and that's assuming he stayed here anyway. If we don't chase Hurley it sure as hell cannot be due to our backline quality options.
