Player Watch Will Hamill

[Kane McGoodwin]

Would have thought less pay and it's basically early confirmation that he's finished at the level.

Pay won't change as he's under contract.

He’s still contracted isn’t he?

And it has no bearing whatsoever on his playing prospects (whatever they might be)

 

[cmndstab]

Yeah, irrelevant to him in contract terms, but it is a pretty clear indicator of where we see him compared to the rest of our list.

How many delisted rookies go on to have good careers?

How many delisted rookies go on to have good careers?

We played guys regularly from our rookie list this year didn’t we?

 

[Rags_118]

How many delisted rookies go on to have good careers?

Mitch Hinge is looking very promising.

Of the one’s we’ve dumped, Ed Curnow had a long if unspectacular career and Darryl Wakelin became a defensive star although he was a pre-season draftee who pre-dated the AFL Rookie list.

Hinge was offered another contract at Brisbane.

I know Ed Curnow but for every one like that there's 10 that will spend the rest of their playing years in the magoos. The odds are not in Hamill's favour.

Mmmm .. his contract remains the same .. even if another club chooses to pick him up in the RD before we do

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

As a minimum.

Another club could always pay him more.

You got Kane and Wee Beady Eyes on ignore? His contract status has been mentioned twice already.

 

[PeterSalt]

Yeah .. and offer him a longer contract .. "all good Will, come to us"

Hard to see it happening

Though this is the period North picked Greenwood up as a DFA on better terms

Common mate .. I was reading chronologically .. and felt compelled to reply to your brain fart

And lolled when I read their responses

It is likely to be less pay though. Aren't there pay bonuses for matches played and KPIs? His rookie status is a indicative that he's a fair way back in the pecking order.

Edit: Just checked and he didn't play a game in 2023 so I guess he's at bedrock already. My bad.

 

[George Kramer]

If Hamill ends up having a good year he can leave as unrestricted free agent

 

[Danger in Texas]

How many delisted rookies go on to have good careers?

Dylan Moore and James Jordon come to mind

 

[dogs105]

Was Ed curnow the one who quit us after a year? Or was that a different rookie?

 

[beartoo]

Pretty sure it was Ed. Thought we gave him the chop rather than him quitting. Remember him saying some years later that he didn't knuckle down at Adelaide and did when on 2nd and most likely last chance.

Another reason it should have been Rory. He’s an UFA anyway, so that’s true for him anyway. If we get injuries and Hamill has a breakout year, regardless how unlikely, he can just walk out.

 

[TRP1996]

Jason Porplyzia?

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Jason Porplyzia?

I never said it was impossible, just that there are more examples of it not working out. I mean we've had 2 at our club in just the last 2 years not including Seedsman.

List management decisions that are objectively bad like this must be impacted by internal politics at the club. It just made no logical sense. I don't believe that was Reid's choice but if it was, he shouldn't be our list manager.

 

[Sanders]

Was Ed curnow the one who quit us after a year? Or was that a different rookie?

Yes

 

[conVINCEd]

Yes

Ed Curnow didn’t ‘quit’ the Crows, we delisted him.

 

[Sanders]

Ed Curnow didn’t ‘quit’ the Crows, we delisted him.

True. He was the one Rendell warned us not to let go.

But the point is, yes, it’s that one

 

[The Perfect Stranger]

Always respected and loved the way this kid goes about it but seriously time for a different career before he does himself some serious damage.
