Hurley

[abers47]

Anyone think Hurley played well enough to get a Rising star nomination this week?

 

[essendon2008]

Is he not already nominated?

But yes. That body work and mark against Riewoldt was superb, as was his whole game.

 

[daffo]

He did play well but normally they need to play 3-4 good games in a row to get it. Maybe next week?

His last 3 - 4 games have been pretty good, with last night his best.

Should get it for this week.

Loved that one-on-one mark against Reiwoldt...everyone went nuts when he took that

Beat my by 3 Phat Toni

 

[warney7]

Hurley was good, but Anthony hasn't been nominated and probably deserves it more

 

[Lance Uppercut]

He got it.

awesome, take it the bank.

Congratulations Michael Hurley!

 

[Skeeta Olly]

Does anyone remember that mark he took on Kossi/Roo last night? What a ****ing gun.

 

[essendon2008]

Does anyone remember that mark he took on Kossi/Roo last night? What a ****ing gun.

I think that made everyone look and say "this kid could be great". There was no holding, pushing, etc, just pure body work.

 

[footycool]

I though that when we got him that we should of got rich, now last 2 week he will be better for us then rich

 

[mick7]

yep agree with you guys absolute star, reckon we picked up a great player ahead of watts for sure.

 

[Buddy Guy]

I am a Hawks supporter who has a big man crush on this kid.
He is going to be a star and IMO the best player to have come out of the 2008 draft.

 

[table tennis]

is there any other kids who havent been nominated that could take the nomination away from him?

He will probably be eligible next season for the award.

We done well out of the 08 draft.

Hurley
Zaharakis
Prismall

Not bad!!!!

 

[OzBomber]

I love him. Such a gun. He's only 19 yet he's the same size, if not bigger than Adam McPhee.

Can play forward or back and can match it with the best.

 

[MickBombers07]

He's gonna be a superstar.

 

[Baby Bombers]

Hurley,Gumbleton,Pears,Neagle & Daniher not too many other teams with that many potential key position stars of the future.

 

[abers47]

I am so excited about our future! What a great club we have!

 

[trystn]

Being at the game I was mightily impressed with Hurley. Should be a gun for sure.

 

[Duckworth]

I though that when we got him that we should of got rich, now last 2 week he will be better for us then rich

i agree, he is going to be a player. Even though he is young, I trust him with the ball in his hands down back.

 

[footycool]

i agree, he is going to be a player. Even though he is young, I trust him with the ball in his hands down back.

out of all the good things about hurley his contested marking yesterday was sublime. Duckworth is right, i trust him to mark and do something good with the ball
