Toast Welcome to Hawthorn, Finn Maginness “absolute Hawthorn nuffie” and a Hawk to 2025

[HedgeFund]

Does he get a new contract? The measure of a player is how well he plays in finals. And Finn has delivered.

Of course he does.

Those critics who had him pigeon holed as a low skilled tagger are…..noticeably absent here now.

Hope he now has confidence to always go for his contested marks.

Still don't think he's best 23 with a fully fit squad, but gut running midfielders with big bodies who can take marks inside both attacking and D50 aren't the easiest thing to find either.

Squads win flags. There will be a lot of tough games next year, and no doubt more injuries. Definitely needs another year or two. I'd keep him over Harry going forward, as well as Harry played on that wing.

Agree 100 percent.

The fact that he's improving noticeably still is the reason we must hold onto him.

His running power and physicality doesn't grow on trees, and there's more ability there to tap.

Will wind up a solid B-grade inside mid with running ability long term.

Essendon asking the question of Finn as per the AFL website.

Contracted for next year, spent a lot of time in the VFL this year though. I could see him being lured away with a 3-4 year deal. Would be a shame to lose such a passionate Hawks man, hopefully playing in both finals is enough for him to hang around until at least the end of 2025.

There's so much potential there, his foot skills are slowly improving and honestly he ticks just about every other box. Not to mention he gives us that versatility/option to swing him into a shut down role if someone gets off the leash badly.

I'd love to see him have an absolutely dominant 2025 and sign a 4 year extension with us.

Not sure we'll get that chance though.

Surely being a mad Hawks man, he hates Essendon far too much to go there?

They are really trying to get us back for Mass chasing a 3rd generation Hawk!

From what I understand, Finn Maginness is a lot like me.

He'd rather be homeless, licking out the residue from used tomato sauce squeeze packs in footy stadiums to survive, than have anything to do with Essendon.
