I dunno about that, Polly.
From watching that game, I'm not convinced Hurley had any nads to strike. He certainly didn't display any when he took that cheap shot on Tabs and got what he deserved. I note the umps who saw it didn't think it was worth even a free, let alone a report.
Just another cheap shot from behind when Essendon plays at Subi....and there's been a few over the years. Actually, getting a bloke from behind is very Woosha-esque. Typical behaviour and fitting response.
