has become a crucial element of coach John Longmire’s team since the Sydney Swans secured him with their first selection at the 2016 AFL Draft. The Victorian has shown glimpses of exhilarating footy on a wing, most memorably when he jagged a runaway goal in Round 4, 2018 to seal a gripping victory for the Swans over the Bulldogs. But Florent, who’s also spent time on the inside of the contest, is determined to continue to grow his game as a hybrid midfielder in 2020.

[the hypnotoad]

goodly!

 

[Bloods86]

Great news!

 

[Cadsky]

2029 is a good year to come ooc. Mills the only other player ooc that year.

 

[caesar88]

Good news.

He'll be 31 when he comes out of contract so is as good as a Swan for life.

 

[Jewelsbon]

This makes me such a happy little Vegemite

 

[Adnico26Parker]

 

[Wheresbuddy]

So happy with this. Ollie is in career best form and having him and Liz locked up really sets up our half back for the future.

I was worried he would leave, not just for more money but also an opportunity to play mid.

 

[Nuggetz]

Look at those GUNS caesar88

 

[The King!]

Great news

 

[bedford]

Once again i did post this weeks ago , 1 more to sign and another nail in the coffin for Hayward

 

[Swannie0307]

S U P E R news!!!!

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Fantastic news.

Good for the team, Ollie and us fans.

 

[ashep]

5 years is an outstanding bit of business by the club and Ollie.

 

[Adnico26Parker]

 

[Swan4Life]

Putting aside his ability and current form for a moment, his demeanour and team-first attitude are highly appreciated traits.

As good a re-signing as any we will see this year. Now to lock up the two WAckers.

I know you have said all along but if McDonald signs soon do you think there's still any chance Hayward does? Or do you think unlikely to stay

 

[Dan87]

Once again i did post this weeks ago , 1 more to sign and another nail in the coffin for Hayward

Yeah you posted it right after media were reporting he's not really looking around and something will get done

 

[TheMase]

Awesome!! Always been a fan since he was drafted, so happy!!

 

[Nool Carpenna]

WTF!
Come to read all the doom and gloom about the post doing the rounds on social media lately, and this...

Great move by all involved

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Is Hayward tombstone already engraved?

Makes sense how we have prioritised.

As a UFA he could have screwed us wayyyy more than Hayward.

Reading between the lines don’t think we overpaid here…

 

[RubbaDuck]

I'm over the moon. A favourite son, one who is clearly loved and loves this club, signing up for another five years (100+ games) on the eve of his 150th is perfect timing. It cuts through all the media noise around the game and frames the game as a celebration for our players. A chance for his teammates to toast Florent's 150th at a very personal level, in the same way they got up for Rowy's 100th

Perhaps the playing group are sensing this is going to be a huge year, with a number of players really lifting their output alongside increased competition for spots.

We're already getting a taste of Ollie's prime as he seems to be pushing his game to another level this year. Whatever we paid is worth it for five of the very best years of Florent's career. I can't wait.

 

[bedford]

I posted before that , that Errol , Macca and Ollie would probably get the nod over Hayward
