What a player Atkins has become. As hardworking and honest as they come. I am so happy for him, seems like a great humble bloke.

That's excellent news. I'd rather sew up Zuthrie more permanently, but 2 years is great too.

Yeah and so many people wanted to dump him a year ago, that shows people just don't give players time

 

[Phipppppa]

So those 1 year deals will wrap up Hawk, Norm and Tuohy careers?

With this extension, Tuohy (250 games) will most likely overtake Jim Stynes (264 games) for the most afl games played by an Irishmen.

Reports that Tuohy originally wanted two years, so wouldn't be surprised if he backed himself in to go again in 2024

Smith, may well be 50/50 - would depend in the has desire to keep going or decides it's time for the next stages of his career. Telling will be if he still has his pace & the length on his kicking, if he loses those then easier to see 2023 being his final season

Hawkins has spoken about playing on for another couple of years - a 1-year deal is smart at this stage of his career, but with how he plays I could see him getting another 1 or 2 single year contracts beyond next season, and Hawkins becoming our games record holder

Wouldn't be surprised if Hawk just takes whatever is left after we have signed everyone up each year. Hence, one year deals each time.

Id say Tomma will have the option to go again in 2024 if he feels he wants to / is able to.

Id agree the other 2 will be done.

Want Hawkins to go again in 2024 and pass Wade on 834.
Ending as our 2nd highest goal scorer behind God would be deserved IMO.

so atkins automatically moved to the main list now? you'd think he copped a decent pay rise from the rookie contract. good fro him.

Atkins and Close are both being elevated from the rookie list to the senior list due to having maxed out their years on the rookie list

Both also had signed contract extensions which included their final year on the rookie list and their first year on the senior list - this extension for Atkins is added to his current deal which was due to end after next season

And they will not have been on basic rookie wages is my understanding, otherwise they could have refused to remain on the rookie list.

and Brad Close be elevated from the rookie list this year?

 

[dazbroncos]

Have, or will, Tom Atkins and Brad Close be elevated from the rookie list this year?

I understnad they will be or already have been - its just paperwork at this point as their contract extensions demanded it per AFL rules for rookie durations.

[you pick one]

Happy with all those would have been happier with SDK on that list.
