Essendon* coach Matthew Knights isn't worried about a knock to the heavily strapped hand of young star Michael Hurley.

Hurley appeared to favour his left hand at Bombers training today after he copped a knock during training on Monday.

The 19-year-old key-position player has just had plaster removed after post-season surgery and has trained with heavy strapping on his right hand.

He played with a thumb injury last year after suffering a broken wrist playing for the Bendigo Bombers in May. He missed two months of football before starring for Essendon* late in the season.

"To be frank, he had an incident on Monday whereby he jarred his wrist, but he went in and the docs cleared him, and he came out and trained today, so that would be just a little bit of a flow-on from that," Kinghts told the AFL website.

"There's a little bit of soreness still, but it was only a jarring incident, and he'll adjust."

Of course, we could just simply not give them any ammunition on a silver platter.

It's still before the courts ...and it got heaps of press.


The point is, don't give them ammunition.

I think that baby is flipping me the bird. With his toes.

a call to "Report stories in a balanced way" does not equal "our players are saints leave them alone"

Chewbacca, a wookiee, from the planet Kashyyyk living on Endor with the ewoks DOES NOT MAKE SENSE.

"To be frank", said Ratten, "he had an incident on Monday whereby he jarred his wrist". Ratten did not suggest that this incident had taken place in the early hours of Monday morning, but sources close to the club have expressed concern about the recent string of alcohol related indiscretions that have struck the embattled club. He would also not confirm that the 'jarring of the wrist occurred when he attempted to punch a crown casino security guard whilst handcuffed to a senior team mate"
