Worpel leaves as a free agent

Hawks farewell Worpel

Hawthorn has farewelled James Worpel as a restricted free agent and received compensation following his departure.

I am sad about this especially since he has gone to the cats

 

[MistyAvalon]

understanding managing him, just curious why he only got a 1 year extension and not more.

I think Gunners had a lot to do with that. he is brilliant and he had a great season but he is getting on. A sad fact I know all too well. the knowledge and skill is there but physically he must be careful. I rather like the idea of him in a coachingposition

Seamus is cut, joining CJ, Serong and Worpel who all found homes elsewhere during the trading period

Ryan and JUH get another year.

Emerging pair re-signs

Bodie Ryan and Jaime Uhr-Henry have put pen to paper on one-year contract extensions.

As suspected, but not yet what I'd call 'official,' The Age suggests Blanck is elevated, Ramsden stays Cat A and implies, with only Ramsden as Cat A and two Cat B rookies, that Hill also remains as a Cat B rookie with JUH

As first round picks, both Cameron Nairn and Aidan Schubert get 3 year default contracts to 2028.

As first round picks, both Cameron Nairn and Aidan Schubert get 3 year default contracts to 2028.

this is limited to the top 20 picks I believe, so Nairn gets 3 years, Schubert gets 2

this is limited to the top 20 picks I believe, so Nairn gets 3 years, Schubert gets 2

Quite right and will be corrected - CBA states "Pick 1 to 20 at the National Draft Selection Meeting – three (3) year minimum term; or Pick 21 or later at the National Draft Selection Meeting – two (2) year minimum term"

Ned Reeves has belatedly signed on that 3 year extension to 2029 to his existing single year deal.

Reeves recommits

Ned Reeves will be a Hawk until at least the end of 2029!

Also will add the default draftees deal two year deal for National Draft picks Dalton and LeRay and single for Greeves on the rookie list to the stickied post at top of page.

Weddle's long awaited four year extension to 2030

Josh had a 7 year, 10 million dollar offer from Essendon. The news is that he has taken a 4 year offer at $900k from Hawthorn. Over the 4 years that seems a $2.4 million dollar sacrifice. But his 4 year contract gets Josh to free agency at a time he may be one of the best players in the comp... and so worth much more than the Essendon contract. Even better, Josh may also be a premiership player with the Hawks and so further increase his value.

Forget the money for a second and any player would say that playing with the Hawks right now is better than playing with Essendon.
I think this was an easy decision for Weds.
