AN Essendon player has been arrested after an altercation with a cabbie on Hoddle St early this morning.
Police said his morning that a 19-year-old from Rosanna has been arrested over an altercation with a cab driver in Hoddle St.
AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou has told 3AW radio that the player in question is Michael Hurley.
The Herald Sun understands the player was picked up by a taxi outside a South Melbourne nightclub about 5.30 this morning and went to a Hungry Jacks in Hoddle St.
He left the taxi for some food and when the cabbie pursued him asking for his fare, the player kicked the driver in the groin and punched him.
Police were called arrested the player at the scene and took him to Fitzroy police station.

Fevs worst crime was putting someone in a headlock and offending people but it's played out in the media and a 5 page thread on safooty, this man has a violent charge he has to face up to and this is the fourth comment about it and it probably won't get longer then a page.

Works on so many levels.

Totally agree. Its a case of who it is not what they did. Fev wasn't arrested but everyone calls for his head. Hurley was arrested but this will not cause anywhere as big stir in the media. Weak as

- young bloke with his first alleged offence
- Fev may have lesser "crimes" however he is 10 years older and the incidents recur year after year
- this is mainly a South Australian forum and Hurley is from Essendon and not as widely known as our mate Fev
- SAFooty's AFL board has far less traffic than pure AFL sites (compared to BigFooty where the Hurley incident was the most popular topic on Friday - up to 20 pages last time I looked)

So I don't think the length of this thread v the Fev one is an example of Fev being unfairly scrutinised or victimised. Even Judd has had enough of his repeated incidents.
