Welcome Welcome to the Hawks Jack Scrimshaw

[CHUBBSS]

His speed from a standing contest is deceptively elite

 

[MasterSamurai]

İf and when Hawthorn become a Top 4 side, Scrimshaw will be one of the top 5 reasons as to why!

 

[Andronicus]

Why was he so cheap?

 

[Stratton24]

Why was he so cheap?

Gold Coast sign top 10 picks onto
$500 000 a year contracts for years 3 and 4 as soon as they can. Scrimshaw never settled and had injuries so GC just were happy to get his salary off the books.

Their loss our gain

Is this kid invisible to commentators?

Does so much within games, whether it's an intercept mark or a great composed step through a contest....and there's literal silence.

Another super game tonight.

His steal of an intercept mark was unreal.
He had a great game and I think he might not get the credit he deserves until we're in premiership contention.
Also the Birchall comparisons are great, but I think he's carving out his own style that again won't go noticed until we're competitors.

 

[CHUBBSS]

This may end up being our biggest steal of the trade period ever, his ceiling still has a long way to go kids a jet, elite user and serious defender now

Birchall crossed with Mew

 

[HairyO]

My GF knows nothing about Aussie Rules (she is in training) but she saw how good a game he had tonight. He never flinches and is so quick in his decision making.

Birchall crossed with Mew

Hmmmm birchalls a stretch but Mew no way Mew was one of the best defenders i have seen. But i know where ure coming from

 

[Hawthorn23]

I just love the poise Scrimmer brings. And he is bloody tough in the air as well!

 

[matey]

When he first arrived at the club remember him saying that he eventually wanted to play in the midfield. He has shown that he can rotate through there easily with his skill and courage.

I'm saying in the role he is moving into, not that he is as good.

His one-on-one contested marking is moving to another level.

 

[Brishawk]

He is basically our version of lukocious. Ironic given he came from gc

If you watch lukocious defend I’d take scrimshaw over him now - our development in the backline is first class

Better overhead mark than Birchall.

Yep, that was the Mew part

 

[Dewnior]

Wow, just wow! This bloke's become the biggest steal since Gunston.

That disposal efficiency

Scrim has been shown up pretty badly this year at times being forced to defend. Thilthorpe in particular.

Smooth mover offensively no doubt but not quite got a rounded out game just yet.

I mean Thilthorpe is 200cm and 100kg. Would give most defenders trouble, let alone someone who is not a key defender.

 

[The Chad and I]

Defending against someone 10kgs heavier than you is hard!
Especially when that extra 10kgs is a result of specialised training to push people away.
