Stats
Bio
A local Geelong product, John Hurley earned his opportunity as an 18-year-old during the latter stages of the 1902 season, a year characterized by significant list turnover at Corio Oval. Brought into the side as the club looked to blood youth amidst a middling campaign, he made his debut against South Melbourne at the Lake Oval in Round 12. Hurley held his spot for three consecutive matches, managing to boot a goal during his brief tenure, but was unable to secure a permanent position in the lineup. After a heavy loss to Fitzroy in Round 14, he fell out of the rotation and did not feature at VFL level again, leaving the game as one of many local hopefuls trialled during that era.
