Cal Twomey was on the money from early on.
He usually is with Essendon matters.
Glad the deal was done early so both clubs can move on.
Welcome to Hawthorn, Zach Merrett.

Mr @Andrew12Welsh can talk tough, but Essendon’s leverage isn’t what it was 12 months ago
Merrett has 12 months left & if they hold him, Band 2 compo could be around Pick 35 after Tassie concessions
15 + 25 + a future pick is more than fair.
Even Cal Twomey agrees.

Essendon president Andrew Welsh has fired the first shot of trade week, warning Hawthorn not to “get too cute with us again” in negotiations for Zach Merrett.

CONGRATULATIONS NICK WATSON - Peter Crimmins Medalist for 2026.
Outstanding achievement in only his third season.
Great to see the no.5 accepting the award from Gwen Crimmins once again.

AMAZING NEWS - Calsher Dear has knocked back Melbourne’s 4 year off & has signed a 2 year extension until 2028.
The media had us believing he was going to walk.
An important piece of Hawthorn’s future as the 21 year old looks to cement his spot in the senior side.

"I am always a romantic, I love when a player backs themselves and stays at a club and does the work….and Hawthorn put in the work for the young man and gave him the opportunity."
