Player Watch Welcome to Hawthorn - Conor Nash. Extends to 2029!

[Bugs1977]

Make the announcement please HFC

 

[ahhhhhh]

Sign him up.

 

[WatWouldCyrilDo]

Exactly the type of player I'm throwing big dollars at if I'm another club. I'd have him easily more valuable than Perryman or Battle, and you can see the kind of money we're throwing at them!

 

[Sturty]

When announce extension?!!!

 

[humid hawk]

Every time I see there is a new post in this thread I get a teensy bit excited thinking it is a contract announcement. Then I click on it and get sad again.

I will add impetus to these negotiations. Conor, if you can hear me, I cook really good potatoes. I will deliver a bucketload of said potatoes every week for a year if you sign in the next week. I'm 50% Irish so you know they are legit. Love, Humidhawk

PS I am not currently based in Australia but I hear shipping is incredibly efficient these days

 

[Buzz Hawk]

I'm sure he's (almost) signed, sealed and delivered.
Thing is, every time he plays well (and he's on a great streak at the moment), his final price just goes up that little bit more..

I'd be surprised if there isn't already agreement on his value between club and player/manager. Everyone involved would know how very important he is to the team and our future. His consistent form is just evidence that supports that, not a weekly revelation that he's worth even more than the week before.

If he hasn't already signed then I'm sure the reason has more to do with the uncertainty of how we're structuring our cap payments in 2025 with a number of high value targets that we are probably looking to front load deals on. If any of those fall through then we'd probably look to bring forward payments on other deals like Nash's.

Or, North have opened the warchest, offered 1m a year and we can't match it.

If there was a crazy big offer like that from another club then his manager would have made sure it was reported by a journo by now.

 

[KermitJagger]

For Nasher to not re-sign at this stage would be the biggest about face I've ever seen given how much he loves the club and the club loves him.

 

[Tassie Cryptik]

With every passing day I get more worried.
Will be gutted if he doesn't sign.

Not worried at all. Hope he’s getting paid what he deserves.

 

[Sixpence]

I'm not concerned at all. He has full backing from the coach and has worked his way into our starting 4 mids in a team that's going places. Jumping now would only be for money and he doesn't seem like the type.

If Tops says it's done, it's done. Why the club hasn't announced it, I neither know nor care, but it's not uncommon for announcements to be made weeks later.

Also the reason I am not fuly on the battle/perryman wagon yet. Once Nash is signed, I will be.

I would suspect Nash would/should get a decent package and we will lose compo benefits if we sign even one of the free agents.

For FFS Ben McKay got a first round compo

I'd think they've agreed on contract length but with a few great performances in the last few weeks he might be holding out for more money, don't blame him.

I'd think they've agreed on contract length but with a few great performances in the last few weeks he might be holding out for more money, don't blame him.

Or, they've agreed to overall terms, but can't formalise the paperwork until they know what other contracts (FA with heavy front-loading) are coming in.

Nash might have agreed to 4m over 5, but is that 800*5, or 1250*2 and 500*3?

 

[hawkman]

Or, North have opened the warchest, offered 1m a year and we can't match it.

Why would he go to a coach who thinks his best position is to play as a tall forward pocket?

 

[Cannyman]

Probably just getting visa sorted before signing long term deals. That is my wild guess.

 

[Tassie Cryptik]

I'll wait for a more official announcement before I quit worrying.

 

[Tassie Cryptik]

This is why the worry until an announcement.

You forgot the obligatory photo standing next to the Kennedy statue in full Hawks gear.

If he was to go we wouldn’t get anything for him also if we got battle.

 

[Baz_hawk]

The moment he re-signs I am planning on getting a Guernsey with his number on it. With all the fun of our side, he's one of my favourites and so damn important to our team.

Please get him signed up!

His manager is also no doubt aware of thi$
