Where is the welcome thread to Georgy porgy?
Stoked with the acquisition of Hewett, perfectly targetted and executed by Austin and co.
Hopefully Hewett's work ethic and defensive attitude rubs off on his new teammates.

Recent final vs the Giants - 19 disposals and 13 tackles.
That's more than half our team combined most weeks!

Agree. Reckon we probably offered him maybe one more year than we would in a perfect world but in doing so we have picked up a really good footballer that suits our needs without having to use any trade capital.
Well done to Austin and co.
WELCOME THREAD, WELCOME THREAD, WELCOME THREAD!!!!!
Hewett is a great pick up, plays a number of roles, namely negating the best mid while still finding plenty of the ball
Can also play forward or back

Getting that done early must help with getting others in the door.
The players would all respect a player like Hewett.
Hard to think Cerra won't get done.
I think consensus is a no to Brander - why would WCE chop a tall 1st rounder potential KPP so early in his career?
I'd prefer to run the gauntlet on a Jarrod Cameron type.
And a tall/developing KPP - Young has been mentioned....
Admittedly, I don't know your midfield super well, but Hewett could easily be your 3rd best inside mid behind Cripps and Walsh. Very good defensively, more reliable by foot than you would think, decent set shot and could be a good defensive forward or pinch hit on a back flank if needed. Best in the centre though and you will be absolutely chuffed with him by end of season.
I don't know much about Hewett but the consensus is he goes in and plays a solid consistent brand. This is what we need. He's not just adding depth but he's raising our floor. That's the kind of thing that's going to mitigate conceding those 5 goal runs.
Kinda looks like Plowman in a wig and fake moustache.

He might actually teach the rest of our midfield how to become two way onballers.

I like the way Austin targets a player and gets the deal done. No ****ing about.
Hope the Cerra deal goes just as smoothly.

So an upgrade on Saddington & Mott then.....
Highlights | Hello, Hewett
George Hewett officially became a Blue after signing as a free agent. This is what he'll bring to the Navy Blue.
Frankly more excited by Hewett than Cerra. I rate Cerra highly but George is a meat and potatoes football who can hit targets by foot and doesn’t back down from a fight.
Exactly what we need with bells on.
