2013 Player Profiles: Michael Hurley

[Cicjose]

2011 average: 68 from 17 games

2012 average 65 from 16 games



As a former top 5 draft pick Michael Hurley has been a player who's expectations have not translated into the type of player to drag Essendon into finals contention

despite missing 6 games of the season due to injury he still ranked 3rd for goals, 9th for marks and 10th for Frees for

as a developed key forward he will need to prove to the Bombers that he can be the long term target they have developed him for and will need to produce better than the 5 games with 2 or more goals in 2012 for next year, which I believe he is capable of.

as Essendon relied on too few players and didn't have their best 22 in the majority of games in 2012 which includes Hurley, he is one player who will need to work extremely hard to get his body right to play a complete season to drag the Bombers back to the finals.

my expected average: 75

[Windigo]

Promises so much, delivers rarely.

Not going to find a way in my team until I see a couple years of good scoring.

[KoopKicka]

Not for a couple of years.

[Kellogscrunchynut]

Only when he starts scoring consistently and stops being switched around between attack and defence.

[Adamant]

Agree with all the above. Too inconsistent and unknown roles.

[Heppell21]

To inconsistent and injury prone. Should come good in a couple of years - Hopefully he lives up the number on his guernsey!

[Spinking]

Really like him as a player, but don't think he will ever be really fantasy relevant. Hope he proves me wrong though!

[Adamant]

Yeah, dont think he'll ever be a DT'er.

[Shihan7]

Pass for me.

[Capper]

Will he play up front??

Will he play down back??

Will he play at all?? Hamstrung...NO!!!!!!!
