has become a crucial element of coach John Longmire’s team since the Sydney Swans secured him with their first selection at the 2016 AFL Draft. The Victorian has shown glimpses of exhilarating footy on a wing, most memorably when he jagged a runaway goal in Round 4, 2018 to seal a gripping victory for the Swans over the Bulldogs. But Florent, who’s also spent time on the inside of the contest, is determined to continue to grow his game as a hybrid midfielder in 2020.

I posted before that , that Errol , Macca and Ollie would probably get the nod over Hayward

You and many others tipped that Florent, Logan, Rowy, Errol etc were staying. Not everyone else blows their own trumpet as much though. I'd prefer to read something fresh about the player rather than posts of you patting yourself on the back.

Oh gawd. I got all emotional watching Will do this

 

[Punts]

Wonder if they will split being team mates

Hopefully not

The friendship of Ollie and Will is a great thing. Will be a big factor to be considered when Hayward has some big offers on the table later this year from other clubs, now Ollie has signed on here.

That Ollie and Will video is great thanks Ticky.

It's wild that it genuinely takes 8 years for most players to really hit their straps. Will and Ollie have just got to the point that they know their games and are putting in important performances every week. They are still young players but the maturity and experience is there. Will would be silly not to stick around with this group, surely the post retirement earnings of a triple premiership playing would outweigh whatever he could get through the rest of his playing career at a different club!
