He’s also averaging 1.8 goals a game which is his best return since Port 2016 and his best in his time at Hawthorn yet. Scored in every game we’ve played so far so has been a reliable source for scoring.
We all wanna see him get more of it because good s**t just happens but it’s a change of coach and game plan.
TBH we should be *ing stoked he hasn’t kicked up a stink and thrown the towel in because he came here on the back of promises from clarko and last year the new coach is shopping him around at the trade table.
The chad always improves with repeated match fitness so I’m just hoping he can find that at some point earlier this year rather than the last 4 games

Sadly, he hasn't turned out the way we would have hoped.

Not on the football field but I must say I have been extremely impressed with how he is conducting himself off the field.
Think he is going to be a great cultural pillar for our club going forward, especially in an area that we MUST get right (especially after what happened to Cyril).
Exactly. By memory there was talk on here that GWS inquired about him but it was quickly turned down (end of story right there). Other teams know that we are in rebuild mode and I assume many of our vets would've had a call made to their managers. The club would've made this known to all players in their exit meetings that no one is untouchable but at the end of the day as much as a player might want to leave or the club wants to trade them a contract is a two way street and can be held to accord on either end. I wouldn't call this shopping your players but rather just keeping all options open.

We anchored him to the forward pocket for his first month.
So that's why his hammy is always sore. the old ball and chain

Wasn’t Mitchell calling other clubs about that sort of thing during trade period?

Not what Mitchell said
Chad's always been the icing.
We need the cake sorted.
Hes been a good player for us. Theres bigger areas of concern.

True, I just expected more. I expected way more from Jaeger as well.

Chad gives us a game where he kicks 6 or 7 then things start feeling a whole lot better. He's been patchy and some of that has been brilliant form so just need a game where he rips it up.

He came 3rd in the PCM last year and has had an interrupted 2022.
He'll be fine if he gets some continuity.

3rd in a PCM in a putrid team doesn't mean a great deal, but yes he was a lot better last year than this.
I think we thought we were going to to get an All Australian standard, top 50 player in the comp matchwinner when we made the trade though.
Not really. He was in no such form at the time at Port.

Yeah and I'm tipping we thought we could get the Chad of 2015 back and hence we traded a lot for him.
Sadly we've laid an egg and it hasn't worked out. Chad is very unlikely to play a final at Hawthorn.
Very impressive game vs Magpies. Nearly lifted the team over the line. Not sure he had a lot of the ball but went hard on a cold wet day. Great stuff.
Love it when he goes hard and doesn't play for frees. Tough hard form gets umpires respect.

Flicks his head back to much as if he were in a shampoo commercial.

Yep he tried to get us over the line today. Was a leader.

Loved him getting the crowd into it.
Bleeds for the jumper.

Was seriously clean in the wet. Can't teach that.
