Restricted Free Agent Blake Hardwick [RFA 2024]

[The Nostradamus]

The 27 year old 150 gamer is a free agent this year

Can play that lockdown small defender role but has also now shown he can be a weapon forward also

What’s he worth salary wise?

 

[Vindicater]

Should have been the Hawks captain instead of Sicily.

Don't think he goes anywhere but if he wants success and a Sydney/Geelong come knocking he might think about it.

Is tough and seems a professional? Could North offer him over market value to help come and set a standard?

Clarko/North for big bucks would make some sense.

Silly post really. He’s not a talker. Hasn’t ever been in the leadership group and is very much just a “head down and do my job” player.

Would make no sense for Dimma.

Would make no sense for Dimma.

Why?

They lack leadership and have oodles of cap space and more importantly he’s not a midfielder of which North already have too many.

Or do you mean from Hardwicks perspective?

Yeah I mean from Hardwick’s perspective.

Why would he want to jump to North?

The only Hawks that would want to do that are ones that have not been offered a contract(Howe, Shiels).

I guess that’s what the money is for.

Agree it’s unlikely tbf
