Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn : Nick 'the Wizard' Watson! Rising star Nom!

[RoughysMullet]

Club statement says 4-6 weeks- it could’ve been worse. He’s has a taste of it now can work his way back into the side once he recovers- not the end of the world…he’s already shown he belongs IMO

 

[Big Hotdog]

Not far off what I look like on a night on the spirits.

What you up to this saturday?

 

[nickrebellious]

4-6 is great news, the injury looked a lot worse than that

 

[The hands of stone]

Tough break for the kid . Looks like he 100% belongs and really seemed to be getting it together.

Already a must watch player for us .

Gee our side will already look different without him

[TylerDurden]

not a chance. Hawks medicos a lot smarter than Carlton's.

They're not operating, hence the shorter timeframe.

 

[lyger]

I feel the same.
Seems as though every injury we are copping is medium-long term!

 

[Hodgey 15]

What you up to this saturday?

Not that anymore lol.
Well...until the next time anyway

Give him as much time as possible to get over the injury no rushing back we all want him to have a long career.

I really don’t want another player like Day on our list with his ankles.

So give him as much time as he needs.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Kicked in the teeth again.

Kicked in the teeth again.

No. It was the ankle....boom tish!

On a serious not has anyone watched the footage of the diving pick up and smooth handball to a player facing goalward from the wizard? Looked amazing in the flesh but wanna see the footage. Must have been the second quarter.

Add pick 2 and then get him fresh for 2025. I'm excited

Just watching the second Q and when Chol kicks that final goal to get us within 11 points and Ginny comes in shoves Stewart and the tussle starts and right on cue the Wizard is in ripping and stretching the jumper. God I love both these boys.

4-6 in Hawthorn reporting means 10-12 actual weeks

 

[SSSSSS]

4-6 in Hawthorn reporting means 10-12 actual weeks

Don't worry. We'll have Birchall back in 2 weeks time.

3peat tax

 

[hawkman]

Annoying thing is the Geelong player never tried to get low to tackle him properly so he was going to go over the top of him. Another in a long line of missed high tackles

 

[MasterSamurai]

In Hawthorn time frame, 1 week is about equal to two, just like human to dog years

 

[lyger]

3peat tax

AFL luxury (success) tax.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

How much do we trust our medicos with the timeframe suggested?

 

[Iceman!]

Glad it was nothing seriously long term and look forward to seeing him back but just purely from a fan perspective it is a bit of a gut punch. It can be pretty hard to get yourself excited for some of these games, the one thing that keeps me watching is getting to watch the young exciting talent like the Wizard.

 

[TylerDurden]

The time off will make him hungrier. He's had a taste.

 

[HedgeFund]

Don't worry. We'll have Birchall back in 2 weeks time.

Birchall really struggled to get on the park near the end didn't he?
