Apparantly we're not into Hurley after all.

Richmond says it has no interest in trying to lure Michael Hurley from Essendon

RICHMOND says it has no interest in luring banned Bomber defender Michael Hurley to Punt Rd.

The Tigers on Tuesday night scoffed at claims they had offered Hurley a five-year $900,000 a season contract.

A Richmond official said the club had no interest in the 2015 All-Australian centre half-back.

It is believed the Tigers have also made their position clear to Essendon to help stamp out increasing speculation Richmond was zeroing in on the 193cm key position player.

Hurley, 25, is contracted for next season but is yet to recommit to the Bombers.

He is one of 12 current Essendon-listed serving a one-year ban over the club’s 2012 supplement program.
 
Essendon is increasingly confident of keeping Hurley after securing the signatures of key pair Dyson Heppell and Cale Hooker.

So just so I have the timeline right

Barrett on Monday night said Tigers going hard at Hurley with a big offer

Tuesday night and Jay Clark from the HUN goes with we are not interested, quoting a "Richmond Official" no less

A lot of people on here believe the club always lies, so in this case is said "Richmond Official" lying or telling the truth

Funny stuff indeed

What benefit do we get out of saying we're not interested if we are? none bc he can walk for nada. So you have to take it at face value. Also, we actually went to the lengths of contacting essendon to ease their fears?

stuff me

It does not say we contacted Essendon.

Anyway, it's May and I don't believe any poo that journos and the club supposedly says at this time of the year. It's all speculation.

It does say it - whether its true or just speculation... thats why I finished that statement with a question mark.

It is speculation, but answer this, why would we bother coming out and saying we are not interested in Hurley? To what end?

Would put the money on us NOT going after him, too scared sitting in the corner with the thumb in the mouth rocking back and forward..while the other clubs actively chase him. :help

If we chased him we wouldn't get him, same as Treloar, so we are doing the opposite ergo

Chase him and don't get him>
Don't chase him and he will come to us

Very very sneaky!!!

From what I understand of the rules, it isn't trade week so we cannot admit talking to him or his management.

What purpose would it serve to admit to it apart from getting into trouble with the AFL? :whistle

What are you going on about? no one said anything about having to come out and admit that we're interested....
My question is why bother going to the trouble of coming out and saying we're not interested? whatever happened to the old generic response "we don't like talking about opposition players"?
Did we go to the lengths of stating we weren't interested in Yarran or any of our other previous targets in recent years? No. If anyone thinks its just smoke and mirrors and we're secretly still into it, then you are extremely naive

TM, it's press speculation. Has the club officially released a statement saying we're not interested?
An unknown club official scoffed at offering Hurley 900k a season does not equate to being not interested.
