Free Agency Joel Hamling - [Joins Sydney as UFA, No Compo]

[MisterMarcus]

Sydney and North interested, apparently.

I guess if he could remain fit, he'd be a useful enough cheap-as-chips stopgap KPF to balance the loss of McCartin/McKay.....

 

[Mofra]

Always a bullgod.
I hope he gets his body right and plays regular football next year.

 

[Ge3ks]

Happy for Joel. Would have only been offered one year by Freo and stuck in the magoos waiting for an injury to one of our B22 defenders.

I like the Swans. Hope that is where he ends up. Don't want to see him alongside Logue at the Roos. Would be way too triggering. Haha.

Yes?

Hope he chooses North - we’re at least guaranteed something back.

What are you expecting back? He's a 30yo unrestricted free agent. I'd be surprised if the contracts offered to him were large enough to trigger a compensation pick, but you never know.

Not much TBH.

However if anyone is going to trade anything - more likely to be Norths just to stop any erosion of the Ben compo.

I think we’d literally take nearly anything of value.

 

[The Nostradamus]

You can have our pick 60

He's been injury free this year, just no room in the side if Cox, Pearce and to a lesser extent Ryan are playing

To get him to move across the country I imagine it'd have to be year at least 2, maybe three year deal at decent money. The market for KPD's seems truly ****ed at the moment so I definitely think we should be able to get into one of the bands.

Very good kpd when fit, and looked good the back end of year in the wafl and in the 1 or 2 afl games he played.

Good luck to him

is tossing up between re-signing at the club or joining Sydney for the 2024 season.

The 30-year-old has only played six games in four seasons because of injury and form issues.

Hopefully he can get his body right, always seemed like a good dude.

Body is right, just couldnt fit him in the team. Didnt miss a round of footy all year from memory

 

[Bonz]

Officially across to the Swans.

 

[Lingsface]

wtf he has been on the verge of retiring for that long, Sydney are desperate.
This years key backman trade targets Hamling Zerk Thatcher Rategoluea = horrible.

 

[Ge3ks]

wtf he has been on the verge of retiring for that long, Sydney are desperate.

He had a really bad ankle injury that took a long time to get right. But since late '22 he has been playing good football. This year he was outstanding for Peel and then Freo. He'll go great at Sydney. Good get for them.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Port are morons.

Best signing so far, much superior to Zerk-Thatcher and Esava and 1/5th the cost

 

[Freomaniac]

wtf he has been on the verge of retiring for that long, Sydney are desperate.

Hamling was good in 2017-19. 22 games in 2017, 18 in 2018 and 22 games in 2019.

Had injuries in 2020-22. Been fully fit in 2023.

 

[AFDogs]

Damn would have loved him back with us. Surely we at least asked the question?

Of course there isn’t. We are making a competitor stronger and we aren’t from Vic.
