Welcome Welcome to the Hawks Jack Scrimshaw

[Lawsy]

Simon Crawshay, time to earn your money and spin this to the Shinbeggars that he's not any good! Its time for an Alias account and you to be a Double Agent.

Surely not!

Yeah

Not happening

 

[Simon Crawshay]

He loves the club so I can't see this happening, especially considering he is having a career best year.

But we all know that when Clarko sets his sights on a player he will throw crazy money at them to make it happen.....

And his skillset does translate well to Clarkos game style of precision kicking.

Bloody hell I will be not a happy camper if this goes through!

I’ll bet my left nut he’s not leaving

 

[Mitchell Madness]

If he leaves on millions, we will get... pick 55

 

[cryptor]

I’ll bet my left nut he’s not leaving

I'll bet your right nut as well.

 

[peetoo]

I could see this, they need senior defenders, and he would be gettable as we wouldn’t pay the same

So pick 3 compo?

Begs the question: Hawks or Scrimshaw!!!???

 

[arupist]

Depends on the terms of the contracts offered from both clubs, and what his relationships with each coach are like. Would it really surprise you if he left?

Yes it would.

That's a real Sophie's choice dilemma you are putting on me Tommy!

Let's hope I never have to make such a decision.

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

seems extremley unlikely but it wouldnt be beyond clarko to throw big money at Scrim

would hate to seem him leave after he's really turned the corner this year and become a well-rounded defensive player, as well as retaining his offensive skills. been awesome to watch so far along with Frosty, two blokes who were maligned for much of last season

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Can we not bring screenshots of nuffy posts from Facebook here?

 

[Hodginator]

I'll bet your right nut as well.

I already lost that one when I said Hodge wouldn’t end up at another club.

And draft picks as he did with JOM,Wingard

 

[mustang]

We need to keep players that are coming into there best football and arn’t injured prone.

Are we seeing a general trend of managing players rotating to keep an edge. If so a deep versatile list will be preferable

 

[H00t]

And draft picks as he did with JOM,Wingard

I’m thinking along the lines of the wingard trade. Their first two picks and a young talented half back flanker (Sheezel).

Seems a fair trade for all involved.

 

[I got the outside word]

Pick 1 or GTFO.

And their band one compo for Hugh Greenwood.

 

[Fleabane]

No doubt Scrimshaw got a lot of credit in the game threads (which I haven't had the time to savour yet! ) but just thought he deserved a bit of love here for his performance yesterday. I don't think we win that game without him tbh (although having said that, it was a whole team effort but his stands out as one of half a dozen particularly special contributions). Great to see him fulfilling his promise.

Been outstanding this season. It's always been said he's been immature in the past and uncommitted at times, but Scrimshaw is just about the last person at the club this decade that I would question his commitment. He has stood up consistently where others haven't. In an undersized defence compared to the height of the Bulldogs forward line, he stood up mightily. He could intercept a Boeing 737 the way he is playing. In top form when compared to all defenders in the league. I think he would be a good player on any team in the league. We're fortunate to have him.

I think the fact that he was seen as immature or uncommitted, and challenged on that by the coaches, is the reason he is having the year that he is. He showed it at the end of last year as well.

He is making spoils and intercepting kicks this year that in previous years he simply would have given up on, he's turning and going quickly, he's doing everything he was asked to. I think the fact that he's turned it around from not being a guaranteed best 22 player to being one of our best is more of a credit to him than saying he's always been this way.

 

[The hands of stone]

Still think he has another 10-15% left in him as far as improvement goes .
That's saying something for his ability as he has been terrific this season .

 

[TylerDurden]

Lloyd coached him in his draft year and said many thought he was the most talented kid in the land.

Exactly.

In 2023 he was dropped out of the side and played a total of 4 VFL games at 3 different stages of the season.

This is not because the Hawthorn coaches didn’t see / appreciate what some others on here were claiming to be his elite traits.

It’s the reverse.

Some of his fans on here saw only what they want to and were perplexed when he was (quite rightly) not in the AFL side.

He has finally listened to the coaching staff and worked on his deficiencies.

The 2024 improved output is the result.

 

[kirbatron]

the eye test is telling me he has adopted two things I wanted to see more of

harder edge / urgency
less backward kicks & more speed on the ball launching attacks
