We took him at Pick 4, our highest ever draft pick.

It was like three minutes in to the game and he was in great position. Probably kicked it.The fact is, we may blame Hartlett, but we are assuming Charlie would have kicked the goal, big ????? on that one
probably worth it in that draft.We took him at Pick 4, our highest ever draft pick.
He's got no finesse. He always seems rushed and panics with the footy.Problem with Hartlett now was laid to bare sat night. So Burton goes off, sure its not an ideal replacement as a matchup for Charlie Cameron, but the fact that Hartlett wasnt sent to his is a bit of a worry. It makes you wonder what does he offer anymore. He not super quick, his kick is big but misses targets. He tries the faux tough guy stuff to compensate. I still think he plays some games here and there, but hes not first choice, and he needs to pay for poor form this week i think + be dropped to the magoos.
Yeah see that's not my understanding at all. In fact I was under the impression it was the exact opposite and he was told to go looking by the club. Against his wishes. Got an interview with Essendon I thought
Someone more in the know than me might be able to clarify.
Yeah, Hamish loves the club and never wanted to leave at any stage.
I understand the frustration people have with the guy right now, but let's not make things up.
Wasn't the story that he had an interview with Essendon and let it be known that he wasn't interested in moving clubs. I'm pretty certain that was Hartlett.
This is the final year of Hammer's long 5 year deal. If we keep playing him he will get a 1 year deal.

he will keep playing if he gets offered $200k+ contract. Where else is he going to make that sort of money?

Nothing will be proven this weekendHe will prove youse all wrong this weekend
That's not hard when there is witches hats for oppoHe will prove youse all wrong this weekend
I still remember everyone calling a premature end to Boakys career. Seems like some, still like to throw the old toys in the bin for the latest gadget.
Perhaps the prob lies in the failure to recognise that players shouldnt come back into the firsts after an interrupted pre season. He hasnt been up to par from his return and should have been allowed to find form and fitness in the ressies. He is a classic confidence player and the blame falls with selection committee.We quickly found out that Travis Boak isn't a forward flanker. What's Hartlett's excuse?
Yea, 150+ game players "finding form in the ressies" is a complete myth these days - the gap between SANFL and AFL is far too great.Perhaps the prob lies in the failure to recognise that players shouldnt come back into the firsts after an interrupted pre season.

Hartlett faux tough guy act reversed the free kick. He went up stupidly to Robinson and knocked him over. Pure stupidity.Hartlett is as brave as they come these days. I've seen him go hard at contests without a second thought, stand in front of leading forwards etc etc.
I don't see any faux tough guy stuff from him.
Still think he had a great season last season, and apart from a horror half against West Coast and a horror half against one other team recently, he's been pretty solid. Yes, he has made mistakes - but so has everyone else. It's just confirmation bias when he does it.
I do think Lachie Jones will replace him eventually, whether that be later this year or next year is anyones bet - but especially with our current injury list, he probably stays in.
Side note, did they ever show what exactly happened to reverse that free kick?
