Welcome Kyle Hartigan joins the Hawks in a trade from the Crows

[MrPremiership]

AFL media has amended its story to now report he's signing a "minimum two year deal" with Hawthorn. Let's not get our noses bent out of shape.

I thought FA deals had to be a minimum of 2 years.

So it's not really revealing too much

 

[Delecate Des]

I'm getting deja vu. Pretty sure this is the same reaction as when we signed Frost.

Pretty sure this is the same reaction when we signed Frawley as well???

....I thought that name sounded familiar.

Really surprising move given chip has made it pretty clear he was happy to go on elsewhere. Perhaps I’m not understanding Hartigans versatility.

 

[Falco131415]

Will he be able to play on the big fwds like Hawkins/Lynch etc?

Actually Towelled up Hawkins this year

Like it, our team needs more aggro.

It was initially reported as a three year deal. It's now reported as a minimum two year deal. There's a difference.

Frawley did not say that. He was cooked.

 

[MrPremiership]

Yes I get that. I'm saying its a pointless inclusion from the author and the article. If they don't know the length of the deal, it's pointless to say its a minimum of 2 years as of course it has to be.

 

[PT Bar None]

The AFL FA compensation rules are so counter-intuitive I have a habit of forgetting about them.
Plus they are opaque - One player leaves a club for 3 year deal valued at X and another leaves a different club for exactly the same and the AFL will dream up completely different compensation

It's stupid

Scrap the compo.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

If he plays for the Hawks, he has my total support.

 

[Big Hotdog]

To see Hawkins on the end of a couple of those taps would be definitely worth the price of admission.

 

[HeHateMe]

Good pick up. This is exactly how you should fill your specialist roles. Has all the attributes that Chip has. On a minimum 2 year contract, moneyball.

 

[Hodgey 15]

I've got no problem with this pickup. A pragmatic decision based on a need the club has identified.

 

[m0zza]

Crows supporters will be saying good riddance. Perineal whipping boy

Might like to look that up, completely different meaning to perennial
Makes sense if you are taking the pee and in relation to Username

 

[dommat]

I’d say it’s a 2 year contract with an option on a third.

Make sense. He’ll be 29 during next season, 30 during 2022, then it’s one year contracts there after (the Hawthorn way for 30+ player)

Perineal is the basically the area of the private parts. Hilarious mistake.

not too bad a pick up. He can play on the big forwards which frees up Frost. He also has some mongrel about him and likes to throw some size around.

Is it called a Prince Albert when you get that area pierced? Strange times

 

[Slick]

I'm happier if it's a two year deal as opposed to a three year deal. I know it's only an extra year but a two year deal provides the narrative that he's coming to fill an immediate need until someone like Kosi is ready to take the role, a three year deal tells a different story.

 

[Dewwwww]

Find a lot of the comments in this thread very interesting.

we haven’t picked him up to set up play out of defence.....or be the no 1 interceptor. He simply needs to play the Frawley role of shutting down the best opposition key forward and that is all!!
From all accounts that is where he best fits!!
perfect free hit and exactly what we need!

The ignore button is your friend at times like these

I've give the ignore button a massive workout this year. As a matter of fact I don't think I've used it at all before 2020 lol.
