1 year extension for each of Hawkins, Smith & Tuohy
2 year extensions for Z. Guthrie & Tommy Atkins
Yeah and so many people wanted to dump him a year ago, that shows people just don't give players timeWhat a player Atkins has become. As hardworking and honest as they come. I am so happy for him, seems like a great humble bloke.
So those 1 year deals will wrap up Hawk, Norm and Tuohy careers?
Wouldn't be surprised if Hawk just takes whatever is left after we have signed everyone up each year. Hence, one year deals each time.Hawkins has spoken about playing on for another couple of years - a 1-year deal is smart at this stage of his career, but with how he plays I could see him getting another 1 or 2 single year contracts beyond next season, and Hawkins becoming our games record holder
Id say Tomma will have the option to go again in 2024 if he feels he wants to / is able to.So those 1 year deals will wrap up Hawk, Norm and Tuohy careers?
so atkins automatically moved to the main list now? you'd think he copped a decent pay rise from the rookie contract. good fro him.
And they will not have been on basic rookie wages is my understanding, otherwise they could have refused to remain on the rookie list.Atkins and Close are both being elevated from the rookie list to the senior list due to having maxed out their years on the rookie list
Both also had signed contract extensions which included their final year on the rookie list and their first year on the senior list - this extension for Atkins is added to his current deal which was due to end after next season
I understnad they will be or already have been - its just paperwork at this point as their contract extensions demanded it per AFL rules for rookie durations.Have, or will, Tom Atkins and Brad Close be elevated from the rookie list this year?
