ESSENDON managing director Peter Jackson says the club is 'extremely disappointed' in first-year player Michael Hurley who allegedly assaulted a taxi driver.
Hurley was taken to Fitzroy police station and questioned over an alleged altercation that occurred in the early hours of Friday morning.
The promising 19-year-old key position player has not been charged as yet but Victoria Police are still investigating the incident.
"We are extremely disappointed that Michael was out so late and that he put himself in a situation where an incident occurred," Jackson said.
"He started drinking at the Grand Final Footy Show after-party and by night's end he had clearly had too much to drink."
"As a club we work with our players to help them make good choices - and the vast majority do - so it is disappointing and unacceptable that this situation has occurred."
"We also run a number of community programs where our players work with young people to educate them about the dangers associated with binge drinking."
"We are treating the matter very seriously and will take appropriate action once the details are clear."
"The club will continue speaking with Michael and he will assist police anyway he can."
