[Rowie6]

You would think we would re-sign our 4 unsigned players now?

 

[Rowie6]

Has Jaime Uhr-Henry been delist a week or so ago?

A mate said there was something on Twitter?

I don't think he has been delisted yet, but he is one of four players on our list yet to be given a new contract for 2026.

 

[MazHawk]

Hill and Uhr-Henry are Category B rookies so unless something untoward has happened they'll be kept on.
Mitchell, a Cat A rookie and Ryan are the only two OOC players.

Out of the 4, it would be Ryan I'd get signed first.

Uhr-Henry looked miles off VFL, I wouldn't be surprised if we let him go IMO.

Maybe there’s no one else that catches our attention.

If the AFl make the extra aboriginal rookie spot, Hill may move onto that…. Hill has some real speed and xfactor. Will be exciting to watch in 2026 after a year to find his feet.

Do you think Shammy and Bodie Ryan will be re-signed?
I know Seamus had 5 clubs showing some form of interest and with some of our depth gone I feel he would be more than handy to keep?

He has been given another year.

 

[bigmaxi]

Matt Hill needs another go around, definitely something there.

Shammy is gone, sadly. I expect he will get an opportunity somewhere else.

Not sure if this is the right place, but Percy Burgoyne posted a sora ai video of himself playing for the hawks, reckon that means hes committed to us under father son

What is the word on Matt Hill?

Where at? Tried Insta and he's on a private account.

So many WTFs in that!

It looks like he is yet to be offered an extension for next year and is the last of our current list to be out of contract.

Tik tok

Hill is probably already contracted for 2026. A contract that involves changing football codes is probably going to be longer than 12 months.

 

[TheFourPillars]

Matt Hill is hawthorn player in 2026

Hey team.

Just a query on our list for 2026. I understand we were not prepared to meet Essendon's demands for Merrett. Given he may only have 2 to 3 years of elite play left. And giving up three "first rounders" plus an existing player from our 22 was not something we were prepared to offer.

My question is in terms of list strategy/management (I'm a big fan of list building in the NFL), and how big trades can impact your list depth as you don't have access to first round draft picks. The 49ers (my NFL team) did this when they traded a bunch of first round picks to trade up for a quarter back. 3 first rounders. Trey Lance was a total bust, in fact one of the worst trades in history). Now that scenario is slightly different as the 49ers were trading for an unknown rookie who had never played before, whereas Merrett is elite and a known element.

I guess the principle is the same about mortgaging your future and not having first round picks.

If you draft and develop players well (as the Hawks seem to do) are the three first rounders more valuable than the one player who will be there for a shorter term?

Any thoughts on the Hawks not meeting Essendon's demands vs the picks we retained for refreshing our list in 2027, 2028, 2029?

Thanks in advance.

So many WTFs in that!

We just won the PREFSS Cup and have a new sponsor in HAWER. You can also now score goals kicking through the other side of the goalposts. Don't question it - just enjoy the ride!

We learned two things from that video...

1) Percy loves the Hawks

2) AI will be the death of us all.

AI will certainly be the death of some industries in the near future. AI really is only in its infancy. There will always be limits to what AI can do

How's Percy looking as a player?
