COBURG defender Michael Hartley is poised to take up the NAB Challenge for Essendon.
It’s believed the Burgers have given the Bombers permission to use the former Collingwood rookie as a top-up player in pre-season matches.
Hartley, 21 and 198cm, represented the NSW Under 18 team in 2011 and was with the Magpies in 2012-13.
But he was beset by shoulder problems and played only five VFL games in his two seasons.
Moving to Coburg last year, he found fitness and confidence, playing 15 matches and getting eight mentions in the best.
Coach Peter German noted he was rarely beaten in the air and read the play well.
Hartley attended the State Combine and was considered a rookie prospect.

I was impressed with an unusually tall (for VFL) defender playing for Coburg last year. None of our guys could get away from him and he certainly won the battle in the air.

Jones, Magner, Clisby, Brown.... The red sash will never be the same.

Petrenko I like though, I'd like to retain him permanently.

We've been here before. The jumper already wasn't the same.

Atkinson, Magin, Quinn, Williams and others have played.

Think it's a bit harsh to start having a go at these guys before they step on the ground. They're representing Essendon, let's give them a bit more respect.

they were delisted from there club for a reason. They were spuds.

Who cares?

 

[Doss]

Who cares?

Beggars can't be choosers here. If we're in a position where most of our first choice team isn't available and we're forced to top up, then we're going to have to get accustomed to the fact we're going to have some players who, all things being equal, aren't quite up to it.

These aren't exactly normal circumstances. Expectations need to be adjusted.

NO ONE from the list in 2012 is going to be playing in the NAB Challenge...

Spuds that can hopefully pinch a few games in the Nab would be worth it just to see Saints,Gws,Melbourne fans having a cry.

Yes, got to look on the bright side of this no matter what happens, all the players coming in will have a point to prove one way or another so at least we can be guaranteed 100% effort. & hopefully a few lol's along the way.

Okay, I am getting super pumped now. They may all be spuds, but for 2 or 3 glorious weeks they will by OUR spuds, and they will give their all.

For all those naysayers, here is compulsory viewing for the next 2 weeks:

Dodgeball: an underdog story
The Replacements
SemiPro
The Longest Yard
Kicking & Screaming
BASEketball
The Mighty Ducks (ALL of them)
Major League
A League of Their Own

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

The SemiPro Bombers.

 

[Ambrosia]

Always thought Mitch Brown was talented enough to make it.

 

[Ashton Agar]

Yeah, it's been pretty much untarnished up until now.

Yeah, but we still had our Essendon boys wearing the sash.

We've been here before. The jumper already wasn't the same.

Atkinson, Magin, Quinn, Williams and others have played.

Very true. Should bring back Jarrod Atkinson for the lols, saw him running around for someone in the Foxtel Cup, put on a bit of weight!

 

[BrunoV]

I don't expect that we will be able to but is there a chance of signing a player like Hartley or Mitch Brown for the EFC VFL team on a permanent basis (both of whom would be particularly useful given the lack of KPP depth in the reserves)?

 

[Doss]

Dodgeball: an underdog story

Does that mean we go from having shareholders...to not even having cup holders?

I reckon they would have already signed at other clubs by now

Wow, Times New Roman... It's like 1995 all over again.

Hartley already signed with another VFL team

Bring back the FEV for shits and giggles.

 

[Doss]

Fev would be weighing in at about 120kg these days I suspect. No thanks.

On that note, Derek Kickett. Give him that extra game he was denied 22 years ago.

 

[Ashton Agar]

Bring back the FEV for shits and giggles.

In all seriousness, I'd like to pick up Lewis Johnston to play up forward. Unlucky not to get a shot at Adelaide IMO, and he is a beautiful kick of the footy. Imagine Daniher and Johnston, from one extreme to the other!

 

[BrunoV]

Bring back the FEV for shits and giggles.

FEV, Travis Tuck, Ben Cousins and Dayle Garlett.

I can't help but notice you're missing Remember The Titans

 

[Pweter]

I'm getting VERY sick of some of the "****ing spuds, can't believe they're going to play for us, been delisted so they're hacks" comments.

If they were up to it they'd be on an AFL list, we can hardly go and raid other AFL clubs for listed players. ****ing moron mentaility that.

Stop being such ungrateful bastards, the alternative is to forfeit which does nobody any favours.
