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

[Strapping Young Lad]

More to come...

 

[TylerDurden]

Now we know why Chip hung em up.

 

[BJK#5]

He is just a mature body to protect exposing Kozzie before he is ready.

it isn’t a terrible signing

 

[Hodginator]

So Hartigan is locked in for longer than Scrimshaw?

That makes me feel a little uneasy.

 

[Jaeger007]

I don’t know what our list management team are thinking.

Very disappointed, This decision to recruit a 28 year old on a 3 year deal is baffling.

We are in a rebuild phase, why top up on an ageing player who is a battler at best?

I don’t have as much of a problem with this as some on here seem to. Is 29 going into next season, he wouldn’t cost much salary wise and we just lost Frawley.

hasn’t cost anything in assets for trade

worth the swing for mine

 

[Billyc]

It's not an exciting pick up but he's free and with Sicily down for 12 months, he and Hartley can compete for a spot. I am ok with it because we are not giving up anything.

My only concern is if it is a sign of how we intend to otherwise approach list management.

 

[Dewwwww]

Makes sense as a Frawley replacement.

Hope we keep Smith now as we won’t be getting a 2nd round pick as compo due to bringing in a free agent

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Reported as a done deal. Will sign a three year contract with Hawthorn. Will be 29 during the course of the 2021 season. Played in the 2017 grand final loss to the Tigers.

I'm at work relaxed. All my Crows mate's laughing their titties off. If your not disappointed your a weirdo

If you were okay with seeing Kozzie getting a lot of game time next year you are a weirdo.

 

[rogiebear93]

Not the biggest fan of him as a player, relatively uninspiring but his role is a need given Frawley's retirement.

As always though - I hope to see him play good footy. Adelaide have a very system oriented defense, similar to us, so the learning curve shouldn't be as steep.

 

[Roddy]

Replacement for Chipper?

 

[bumsonseats]

Crows supporters will be saying good riddance. Perineal whipping boy

 

[TallyHawk]

Hartigan, we are taking the piss surely

Did those same mates laugh when we got Henderson as a FA?

 

[eldorado]

What I like about this is that he's...






...err...free!

Because throwing kids into the fire when they're developing is a sh*t list building strategy?

We lost Frawley and Stratton from our D50 in one off season, and Sicily is out for essentially the entire year. Someone to take the hits for a few years while others develop isn't so bad.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Total moneyball selection that makes perfect sense with our key position stocks very limited heading into 2021. Also costs us nothing

 

[oriXon]

Hopefully you guys can turn him into something decent like you did with Henderson..
Definitely one of our whipping boys and keen to see the back of.. Good luck with him.

Was this deliberate? Kudos if so...

Still funny if not...

 

[streetspirit]

Judging by the contract length we were willing to offer, I assume his salary demands are fairly modest.

 

[MC_9]

Really not sure about this move. Don't think we need to add another 29 year old to the team.

Ye-ah. OK.

Welcome.

I dunno - maybe he can be better outside of the Crow env which seems suspect ATM.

Price is right (in terms of trade, not salary cap)

???

ETA: He should be better than whomever goes pick 106 in the draft though I guess

We had people hunting for Frawley’s head most weeks too.

Like for Like.

Cool. Free player that fills a hole we need to fill short-term while we look for our next premiership key defender.

Look forward to the second coming of Hendo
