    I picked Hurley as a bit of a speculative pick hoping he would flourish this year (3rd year and all). Seemed to be going OK with scores an average of 85 across the forst 4 games but turned out a pitiful 42 against Collingwood.

    In his defence, Bombers have played all top 8 teams thus far and I'm thinking his run is going to get a bit easier.

    He's still up on his original price of $337k but I'm wondering if he'll ever get to that $450k player I was hoping.

    He is a very handy MPP in F/B which pairs up well with McKernan and Markovic. It's seeming more and more likely that these two are going to be permanent features in their respective teams so do I really need a 3rd MPP def/fwd??

    Don't have anyone specific in mind for the trade, maybe downgrade to Thompson and upgrade Krak??

    Thoughts people??

    I also spec'ed on Hurley.
    With no great trade available, I'm happy keep him until the Rd 10 bye.
    Essendon plays GCS, WCE, Bris and Rich.
    Happy to gamble that he scores well in most of those games then he's gorn!!

    Was a certainty to trade him after the game but thinking that there's not a lot of other options out there....

    After Collingwood is the worst time to trade out anyone! See how he goes against the GC before making any rash decisions.
