He is rock solid in defence. Would like him to go to pavlich this week.

 

[m7jebus]

The beauty of Hurley as a backman is he can genuinely shut key forwards out of the game. This knack will only become more important as the season progresses, when players get tired and the defensive system starts to loosen a bit - having a guy who can actually beat the Clokes, Riewoldts, etc one on one will be invaluable. It's all about fitness for him.

 

[eth-dog]

The next 3 weeks are a big test. Pav, Riewoldt, Cloke. If he concedes 6 goals between the 3 I'd be stoked

Is that guy still cutting off pony tails on the train? Maybe we can let Hurley's tyres down so he has to take public transport to training. One thing we know is he wouldn't be calling for a taxi.

Reckon that Hooker may get Riewoldt. Though they may rotate on Riewoldt.

Hurley to Reiwoldt, Hooker to Vickery I would think. Hurls has previously torn Reiwoldt a new one if memory serves...

And didn't want to shake his hand after the game.

I hate that "bundercut" that hipsters get. I don't know what else to call it.

 

[Jade]

That sooky princess Jack Riewoldt has ****ing nightmares thinking about the violation Hurley inflicted on him last time.....

 

[Runk]

My theory:
I reckon he's waiting to grow the ponytail longer, until he gets to the point where he turns up one day with the goatee and shaved sides looking all Vikings 'Ragnar Lodbrook!' on us. That'd be ****ing epic.

 

[efcboy]

If he cuts the hair he's AA

Didn't want to shake his hand after the game finished he has his number.

Is a gun. We have the genuine AA FB and CHB of the next three years

I wish. But we have a spine that is amazing.

 

[yaco55]

I hope that Hurley isn't Samson !

Back on topic...that ponytail really gives me the shits..real ####ing bad I tells ya.

 

[Doss]

Riewoldt's endless running was a bit much for Hurls the other night. Not that it should be a surprise in itself, Riewoldt runs more and is fitter than any forward I can remember.
