Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn : Tom Barrass!

[Roddy]

Great to have someone who is a legit one grab, contested beast.

Business down the back, party up front

It's true, and it highlights a fascinating dynamic - most of the party-people are midfield to forward, Wiz, Ginni, C-Mac, Calsher, although the forward line still has its stoic stalwarts to keep them in line. The backline is more pragmatic, Sic, Dimma, Scrim, and now the two B's. CJ may be the wildcard in that pack....

We have our share of deep, thoughtful types - Ward, Mackenzie and Nash come to mind but there are bound to be others Impey and Amon perhaps. Nothing wrong with a mix of extroverts and quieter souls.

I'll go as far as saying it's highly important that a club has a various mix of personalities. There will always be clashes of personalities but that has been happening since the dawn of man.

 

[Beandip]

I wonder how a deep, thoughtful bloke like that's going to go in the happy-go-lucky, celebratory 'hokball' culture like ours?

Of course, it takes many different types of player and personality to make a premiership side....

Probably the same way people like Tucky and Mew dealt with Dermie and Dipper!

Yep, that juxtaposition of stoicism and flamboyance in the current team is reminding me a little of those iconic 80s sides...

Right at the end he bookmarks Geelong at the MCG. I love this dude so much already.

He's winning a Norm. I can see it now

Good luck getting a kick Jezza against this backline. We have so many options for him now I'm not worried in the slightest about Geelong moving forward.

Irony is that Battle absolutely owned Cameron this year.
Barrass will most likely get Ollie Henry, and destroy him.

Let the battles begin!

Sounds like a decent human.
A family man now at The Family Club.
Also respect to west coast for doing a great job for him.
Can't wait to see him doing his "value add" for us.

He hasn’t taken off that Hawk guersey since they gave it to him

I have a Normie just thinking about it

Apparently the responses from Nick Watson & Calsher Dear make this post even more enjoyable.
There is a reference about Gunston & Dad.

I think Frosty might go to Henry now?

Wiz wasn't going to private school for the English lessons I see...

 

[Clarkos_Soldier]

Now THAT'S a FULL BACK.
(and front).

He really looks the part doesn't he? He has presence and looks like he means business. Can't wait to see him run out in the Hawthorn guernsey.

 

[marklar]

Buying straight into the team culture, what a great bloke!

Me too! Is TB's favourite philosopher also "The Dude"?

No surprises he said he wants to play with Frosty who is also a more quiet, thoughtful bloke.
