What a relief He must be feeling, leaving that joke or a club, and joining a non doping/cheating great club.

Welcome aboard

Astute pick

 

[The Kipster]

Welcome Michael, I think AC has some astute plan in mind and Hartley is a piece within this and he knows it.

Definitely not for Essendon I.P. lol lol lol

 

[4THAWN]

must admit I would've thought he'd have a much easier time breaking into the essendon backline than the hawthorn backline.

 

[Slick]

Welcome to the Hawks, Michael!

 

[SuperSic]

Astute pickup.

 

[Slysh]

Good pickup.

Will be good depth at worst and if he can improve he can force his way in to the team regularly

 

[Milkshaker]

About to hit his prime for a tall, in theory. Will be interesting to see where he fits during the season.

 

[TDay]

Good pick up. Did nothing wrong while at essendon, just got very unlucky with the list demographics keeping him out.
Has plenty of ability and I hope he has a long and successful career with you guys

 

[eldorado]

A hopefully smarter Brand

 

[ShoveYourCOLA]

must admit I would've thought he'd have a much easier time breaking into the essendon backline than the hawthorn backline.

He had an offer on the table from Essendon, who were more than happy to keep him. I doubt he would’ve walked away from that without some kind of assurance from us.

 

[burner1]

Can anyone provide a good summary of how he plays and strengths/weaknesses? Never really paid attention to him.

As a KPD? Hurley and Hooker are set, unless they keep Hooker forward to cover for Daniher. We have Frawley, and now Frost. He's going to have an easier time supplanting Frost than either of the Essendon duo.

 

[Aramis]

26 years old. After what we did with Henderson, I have high hopes.

Great get.

Takes the guess work out of using a mid-late Pick in the draft.

We know what he can do (immediately) & we probs have an idea of where he can get to.

There's definitely some Picks 50 - 60 that go on to be awesome, but bloody heaps don't & we've just cut 2-4 years off the timeline for finding out.

I recall reading that we were into him in his Draft year - well we just got him for free & now he can set about becoming awesome!

 

[Lord_Espos]

No idea about him. But fingers crossed this can be a positive signing. Welcome Michael to the Hawks. May you win a few premierships before you retire.

 

[B&GBlood]

Replaces Moore as depth but has time to show he can add to the team.

Moore is still on the list and stands at maybe 180cm on tippy toes. Hartly is 198cm. You thinking of brand?
