YES DIMMA

 

[PenAndPaper]

Tell you what, Dimma isn't the only wick that's hard after this news

Must have been quite a bit of interest in him as a FA, with a five year deal..
Good on him, well deserved.

Oh goodness..

 

[Roddy]

Was he really pick 44? You wouldn’t bet against him finishing his career a premiership player and 250-300 gamer…

 

[cryptor]

This is good business. He'll go up another level when the heat of finals arrive for us. Fierce competitor.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

AFL article says he has only missed three games since 2017. That's some elite level durability, but probably not surprising as he is an absolute unit of a man!

Looks like 5 years is the new 3 years in the AFL these days given the amount of these five year deals being offered. Low risk contract length for a proven, durable player like Dimma though.

 

[Kanga Commando]

Just awesome - so happy to hear.

Dimma re-signs to 5 year contract

Wiz brought in & Seamus dropped

Mitch: "ALRIGHT NOW YOU'RE LOCKED IN, BACK TO BACK POCKET YOU GO!"


Jokes aside, so happy to have Dimma as a career Hawk. Sets standards and will be such a key piece (at BOTH ends of the ground) for us as we climb back up the ladder.

 

[SSSSSS]

Yay now get Nashy to sign.

 

[CHUBBSS]

Unheralded champion of our rebuild, feels like his Benjamin button

 

[OnWardnUpWard]

Brightened the day. Stoked.

 

[flinchfree]

Hard

Could have played in the backline of any great Hawthorn team in any era.
Genuine champion player.

 

[RoughysMullet]

Yay now get Nashy to sign.

Matter of time you would think- what a club to be a part of we are

Not enough love for Dimma. Since he has hit the senior team as a walk up start in 2017 he’s easily been our most consistent player over that time. Underrated, dependable and will always fly the flag for teammates on the field. Won’t be picked up on broadcasts but if any player of ours cops a bit of treatment in the backline it will be Dimma first one up to give it right back to the opposition player.

He’d easily be rated much higher by opposition analysts and coaches than he would be by the media (it’s a joke he hasn’t had an AA selection as yet) - so the tempting offers would have absolutely been there for him as he’d offer a lot to clubs in their premiership window presently. Has easily been my favourite Hawk for a while now (granted Dylan Moore

He was taking on three of them in the tussle.

I thought he was the cleanest player on the ground yesterday. Attacked the ball at pace with superb pickups and took some powerful marks in the wet.

Also wins tackle of the day with his crunch on bobby hill in the third

Great player, him and most of our team were playing with a dry ball

That play he did were he flew through the middle and weaved through two players like the matrix made all 80,000 gasp looked insane live

Back in Adelaide so play him forward. Another 5 goals incoming
