Welcome Welcome to the Hawks Jack Scrimshaw

[HawthornHawk]

Very little room to move with the rules now. Annoying as he is in excellent form.

little freshen up before two very winnable games

 

[Flukey!]

Our legal team seem to be less competent than others is really what he is saying here.

It's the vibe.

I guess you only have to go back to the Sicily tackle on McCluggage last year (copped 3 weeks) and even though though the tackles look different they both slung players to the ground with their head hitting it. McCluggage got knocked out whereas Stocker pretty much got up and played out the game but the AFL were likely to rule with the ability to injurer.

These kind of injuries are the AFL's fault and it all stems from them not calling holding the ball anymore or like it's supposed to / used to be. Players being tackled are not afraid to hold the ball as long as they want now because if disguised correctly the umpires don't call holding the ball. I'd love to see the statistics from 20 years ago to see if players were getting KO'd as frequently from sling tackles to when they actually used call holding the ball as they should. I'm not saying players should sling players heads into the ground but every now and then accidents like this will continue to happen because the players making tackles are trying to manoeuvre a player from off loading the ball. I'm not sure what their meant to do and they're pretty much defenceless these days.

our legal team has seemed to struggle in the past but im really surprised the broader supporter base watched this and thinks he has any chance of getting off. every similar tackle over the past 2 years has been met with a suspension, don't see how this is any different.

There’s no such thing as “our legal team”. Someone from the same small group of barristers turns up to the tribunal week in week out representing whatever club has a player in the firing line on any given occasion

Not entirely true. "Our Legal team" exists but it's just Nick Holland but he's doing real legal work not debating whether players broke the rules of a game of sports ball.

"our legal team" needs to work on our contracts with providers, employees and sponsors. Our conduct as a club specifically the allegations of former players against former staff.

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, but Scrimshaw may have recently signed a 3 year extension.
Great news if true.

Yippee!

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Best news I have heard in a long time!

The next three years from my man Scrimmers are going to be absolutely massive, he's going to become one of the best Centre Half Backs in the competition

 

[Baz_hawk]

Confirmation of the above.

He does seem to be playing “bigger” this year but a true CHB? Not sure but he is certainly getting closer to the traditional CHB player.
Either way, having an awesome year, has become indispensable.

 

[Hodginator]

I’ll bet my left nut he’s not leaving

That’s a relief

I also didn't think it was his natural spot prior to this year but he is looking really good at CHB.

He's actually a similar height / weight to plenty of champion CHBs like Lever, Knights, Roos, Gibbo, etc.

He's probably developed that core body strength now he has hit his mid twenties.

 

[Bugs1977]

Awesome. Now to get his step brother

 

[Dipper Here]

Yes Scrimma!!!
Our Harry Laconic Jr gets a three year residency.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

 

[HeHateMe]

Awesome, onya scrimmers!

 

[Roddy]

I’ve had this feeling niggling at the back of my mind since he came to the club, that he could be just about anything, if he really wants to be. It’s taken him a touch longer than I expected, but I think he’s finally getting to where his potential says he can go…

 

[matey]

Scrim would never play for anyone else. Hawks heart and soul man. Gotta always remember he was a pick nu 7 always had the talent …… hopefully from now on he has matured above the shoulders and will consistently deliver on that talent. Love Scrim

 

[Gaston]

Now we know what Mitchell's tirade was about, "give me a contest, and I will give you a contract extension"

Shows the other players if you go hard at the ball you get paid
