Player Watch Welcome to Hawthorn, Tyler Brockman!

Those two signed on for rookie wages so probably not much more than brockman was on.

Think again.

Moore’s 2 year extension at the end of 2021 was after he finished 4th in the PCM. He would be on $300k+ now.

Newcombe was given a 30 month contract on a $170k base plus match payments and other incentives. He will have hit those easily. No doubt $250k+

Rookie wage in 2022 was $82k.

Brockman should be getting around $200k - $250k at most.

Gerat news. I wonder whether the 1 year is driven by the club, or him? I would have thought that 2 years would have been the norm for a player in a similar situation.

 

[lethalselbow]

signed on for one more year

Never in doubt.

Good luck to him. Time to turn potential into onfield performance.

 

[Sicily]

Brilliant news - has the potential to be elite

 

[Coach Killer]

That changes the narrative. We’re now a chance for finals. He’s going to explode next year. One to watch.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Brilliant news - has the potential to be elite

Hope he learns from his mate Shai on how to take the next step to being an genuine AFL talent.

Gerat news. I wonder whether the 1 year is driven by the club, or him? I would have thought that 2 years would have been the norm for a player in a similar situation.

My guess is he talked about going home and the club said to give it another year with no injuries and see how he feels.

Its a great opportunity for him.

 

[Steven Tyler]

Strange to only sign for 1 year

Surely West Coast, who were apparently keen to draft him, would’ve offer him a contract?

 

[Brishawk]

The kid has something. Very happy to see him sign on for another season.

It is interesting. I wonder if this is player manager driven in that the club wanted say 2 years but his manager pushed for one?

If he had a breakout year next year it would put him in a much better position for a heftier new contract especially if both WA teams are chasing him. Curious if perhaps this is the thinking since I think it's pretty clear he has heaps of potential.

Strange to only sign for 1 year

Makes perfect sense though, he gets a new contract for 2024 after having a chance to prove himself and up his value.

Whether he stays with us or goes home, this is the perfect way for him to benefit more financially from playing AFL.

As everyone has pointed out here pretty much, his value based on performance is pretty limited given he's a 3rd year player in 2023 with less than a dozen games under his belt.

I love him, I can't wait to see him develop into the player he will likely become. I just hope it's with us, and we're able get him invested in this rebuild – if he was half as into it as most folks on this board are, he'll be a Hawk for life!

 

[MrPremiership]

I'll wait until its official from the club.


But, with everything going on at the club at the moment, its a great sign that Brockman has committed to us and a show of faith to Sam and what culture he's building

 

[Tasmaniac]

Would be great news. Love to have him here next year.

To be honest, I wasn't confident.

 

[SSSSSS]

There's a long-term spot in the best 22 with his name written all over it if he wants it.

Hopefully gets a nice injury free pre-season and hits the ground running.

 

[matey]

Since day 1 from his kicking technique, the way he moves, likes to fly and tackle …….. has beautiful skills. Give him 5 possessions could kick 4! Hope he stays long term wearing the brown and gold

 

[Cyril_Grip]

Brocky looks a very clever and versatile forward. Thrilled if he is around for next year. Hopefully that shoulder is right from Round 1 and he can make an impact

So happy about this.

It's nice of the club to drip feed some good news to us to counter all the negative news we've had.

 

[Hodgey 15]

Bloody glad to hear this.
Awesome news.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Thrilled to read this and hopefully it all clicks for him next year. Gunners potentially moving surely helps open up a spot.

 

[Coach Killer]

Brocky & Jeka (2 of the most talented on the list) going beast mode in our forward line next year.

Lewis, Jeka, Kozi, Wingard, Breust, Brocky.

Lock them in every week and let it rip.

Looks like he’s doing pre-preseason with him.
