Roughead re-signs until 2018

[Flukey!]

Speaks plenty about Roughie the person.

 

[James Colorado]

Jarryd Roughead will now go down as a one-club player. He's had an amazing career to date. I can't think of a better utility who can play forward/midfield/ruck that's as good as Roughead has been over the last decade or so. I wonder if he'd make our team of the century?

- Triple premiership player (2008,13,14)
- Dual All-Australian player (2013,2014)
- Coleman medalist (2013)
- Third in the MVP award in 2013
- Seven times in his career he's kicked 40 or more goals in a season
- Rising star nominee 2005
- Five goals in the 2014 grand final (the most by a Hawthorn player this era)
- Three times he's kicked over 70 goals in our premiership years

I honestly think that he was the true MVP in the comp in 2013, and that if not for the universal characterisation of the Brownlow as a midfielder's award, he would have been a worthy winner.

Awesome news. It's just great to know he is here for the duration.
Hate to think what he would be worth on the open market, much more than he has agreed to at Hawthorn, I reckon.
What a champion.

Any truth $hitney were offering $11M over 8 years? HAHA

When you consider what the dogs paid for Boyd

Awesome news. I get the feeling that the Hawks are sharing the Buddy around a couple hundred large at a time. This was Rough's turn once the list was settled. Awesome work Hawks.

Fantastic early Christmas present.

Hawthorn Legend... one club player, doesn't chase the dollars and genuinely loves the brown and gold!

Needs to hurry up and get the father-son wheels in motion

 

[Footy 1st]

Just when the euphoria of back to back settles into a lovely state of constant, we're only watching qtrs of the GF at a time & certain opposition club posters have slowed in the tall poppy Hawk hate... BANG! More great news!!! This guy is unique, not only a freaky gun, but a key forward that doesn't put contract negotiations off!!! Brown & Gold

 

[fit as a fiddle]

I'm absolutely wrapped

 

[Cyrillicious]

Bloke bleeds brown and gold

 

[Rich]

That's the kind of news that just makes your day.

Can we get a few of our forwards hooked up with some Opals or Diamonds players. Get those tall genes working together!

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

Great news. What a xmas present for all hawks supporters

 

[suedehead]

His old forward partner could have been remembered as an all time Hawks great, but chose not to be. Rough actually will ... what a champ.

Will be great if Roughead finishes with more premiership medals than he has now (don't want to get cocky but would be awesome if he retires a 5+ premiership player) and Buddy wins 0 at the Swanettes.

 

[grizzlym]

Lovely to see.

Embrace the club and it embraces you.

 

[Sixpence]

Definitely getting the number 2 on the back of my Gold Logo guernsey when they're released!

Champion!

 

[savagelunchbox]

He's going to look great wearing navy blue this coming season!?

 

[Manila_Hawk]

Sets a great example to all of the others as well (esp. the newer, younger ones).

Forget the rest, stick with the best.

 

[Baz_hawk]

Fantastic news. A one club player who has been instrumental in our success. Legend.

 

[becalm]

Gotta love the Rough.

 

[JoeHawk]

Nice to see there is still some loyalty in the game. On ya Rough.

 

[TazHawk15]

I'm absolutely wrapped

So are all my Xmas presents.

 

[Stranglers]

Fantastic news. One of my favourite players in the brown and gold. Hopefully he can snag another premiership or three in that time!

 

[Agent Smith]

I think we're about to see the best of Roughie in the next year or two. He's thrown off the shackles in the last two finals series and stood up to really make a noticeable difference. I can see Roughie going from strength to strength and should be hotly contesting the Coleman in 2015. Good to see he's a hawk for life.
