The disrespect to Blake Hardwick is immense.
Don't necessarily think it's disrespect, Hardwick isn't really much of a leader. Great player, does his job, but isn't that vocal out at trainings or in games.

Absolutely an on-field leader and he’s the first one to fly the flag for his teammates if there is any hint of dirty play. I’ve seen him marshalling players from early on in his career on the field also - there’s a reason he was given the 15 after Hodge.

That's not the same thing as being a leader though, Frost flies the flag for his teammates but he's not a Vice Captain.

Some people just don't end up captains or vice captains and that's fine. Buddy has never been in a leadership role and he's arguably the best player of all time, Nick Maxwell was a good captain for Collingwood and was a BOG average player.

Happy to differ in opinion but I’ve always seen Dimma as an on-field leader - and from my view at games he’s hardly shy. I think he’d be more likely of being in the leadership group than Lewis.

I predicted at the start of the season that he'd increase his possession count, but probably have a reduction in his goals. I reckon that trend will continue again next season, he will probably average about 23-25 or so touches and low 20's for goals. That's a elite return.
That'd be an awesome return. Has had a couple of Boomer Harvey style years and reckon he continues to get better.
 
is he one of the most hard done by players in the afl this year with the umpires?

His becoming a really tough player for it to, great year for Moore. Vice captain on the horizon?
 
Brilliant season from Moore.

He's shown that he is a quality HFF and can also contribute to the midfield rotation.

He would be deserving of an AA squad call up.

Really love the idea of this. I am a huge fan of Dimma and would like to see him in the captaincy discussion - however Sicily and Jaeger might be a touch too old to be the next permanent captain given we have had a couple of short term captains now and it might be time for a long-term club captain to see us through this next patch. He's a tenacious little player and is from a passionate Hawthorn family. Would be such an awesome rise for him to be the next captain of the club - and even at 23 with only 51 games under his belt I think the responsibility wouldn't at all weigh on him.

He's already destroyed the curse of 36 - why not make him the leader of the club!

I can definitely see him playing more midfield minutes next year and then sneaking forward to steal a goal when required. And really by "sneak" I mean out work his opponent to get up forward and punish them.
 


They had to make room for Tom Papley apparently. Unbelievable.
