Player Watch Welcome to Hawthorn - Emerson Jeka - delisted 2023

[The hands of stone]

Needs 2 more to trigger the contract extension.

Gets them comfortable ai would have thought .

All his games have been in poor team performances with limited opportunities .

 

[tommyk72]

Would hope he gets to play next week on the back of that performance. Should be in for the remainder of the year unless he tires or shows a lack of effort.

 

[Brishawk]

Big improvement on his past appearance in the seniors. Looking forward to see what he can do in the remaining games. Let’s hope we can get it inside fifty a little more often to give him a chance.

 

[Billyc]

Did well with rubbish delivery and opportunity. Looks the most ‘natural forward’ of our developing talls. Should play out the season in the seniors

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

 

[CHUBBSS]

He moves so well for a big guy, has nothing to gain from playing VFL anymore, needs to play 50 games with kozzi

Will find it even tougher against Melbourne next week.

Just keep him in for the rest of the year and see him go. Love that he's a good field kick off both feet.

Will find it even tougher against Melbourne next week.

So true. Steven May has been marking most everything coming his way in the last few weeks.
He had 9 on the weekend against Dixon, and combined with Lever and Petty for 22 marks.
Will be a massive test of Jeka's defensive game (and Kosi).
Just hoping we can kick it to their advantage at least a few times across the game (Port struggled with this the whole game due to pressure up the ground).

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

I'd like to see our forward line with Kosi at FF, Callow at CHF and Jeka on HFF. Kosi and Jeka have a bit of mongrel about them and are really good contested marks. Jeka can fill the leading type player position and goes quite well moving up the ground. I'm not sure if Lewis will make it. He's a big solid boy but he just doesn't seem to have the angry/aggressive side in his make up and Jeka seems to be a lot more mobile. Whatever happens I believe our forward line is going to be a good one, we need one more KP backman and a whole lot of quality midfielders. Has Lewis ever been tried at fullback, worked for Langford!

If Jaeger improved his kicking...

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

If Jaeger improved his kicking...

Did you miss who kicked it to Jeka?

 

[TheFourPillars]

Did I just see a hawthorn player lead up at the ball carrier. Wait what that's not allowed must be because Sam Mitchell. Changes are working already

He didn't even bring it to ground....

He didn't even bring it to ground....

He will be dropped this week for not following team rules.

I like it but callow might be the angriest of the lot!

 

[Hodginator]

Really hope he doesn’t get dropped after the Dees game when he ends up with no goals because our midfield gets torn to shreds.

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

I like it but callow might be the angriest of the lot!

Well that's OK. It'll give Sicily something to think about.

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

Which one? The sender or receiver.

 

[cryptor]

1 year extension.

[Strapping Young Lad]

I like it. Gives him the opportunity to find his feet and lock in a much better contract post-2022.

 

[Beandip]

Exactly, it should come as no surprise, safe for us, and shows he and his manager are willing to back a performance increase to demand a bigger contract next.

 

[MrPremiership]

Good for him. Deserves it

 

[Gaston]

Understand this view but they are putting a lot of confidence in his body (which has shown no signs of failure).
A couple of injuries and it could turn sour.

Risk, reward I guess.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Glad he has signed on. Think we will see huge improvement from. Him next year.
With him and kozzi signing on, wonder what that means for lewis
