If he can produce anything close to what he produced tonight, he’s not just best 22, he gets a two year extension.

Sure that wasn’t Gary Ablett jnr?
Hind played half forward all preseason and was dangerous. He showed that recently given the opportunity at wing/half forward
His run and disposal by foot can open up our forward line a bit.
I’ll admit he does the odd brain fart, but I have always defended Hind because he brings energy and speed to the team. It’s possible his new role is just something he is more suited to and allows him to play his best.

There’s no need to give him two years. He’s a limited player playing out of his skin. 2 years for someone like Hind is exactly the sort of contract decisions we deride on here.

Never seen a player for which there are so many possibilities every time he gets near it…and right now they are good ones.

Super proud of the effort from Hind in his past two matches.
Just keep bringing that pressure, especially this weekend against the blues.
Rip them a new one and show em who’s boss!

And exactly the sort of contract extensions that Essendon makes.
team did him so dirty, he had not just a career game, but objectively a very very good game, and we couldn’t get it done
Love my OLED
Another good game.
Easily best 22 for me.
Without his pace we would be utterly padestrian.
Would like to see him pear up with Roberts and Saad
I’d be giving him 1 year

2 years. Otherwise, he would be crazy not to consider the 2-3 year offers elsewhere.
Hindy is a f*cking gun. If he was 25 and playing like this we’d offer him 5 years.

Hind falls into the Lav, Kelly, Guelfi category of not good enough consistently to feel comfortable but too good to let go.
Perfect mindset and work ethic for fringe AFL talent. None of them will die wondering

What Hind has done in the last two weeks is elevate his ground ball game. Some of his pick ups of difficult ground balls were a delight to witness. May it continue.

Yeh for sure, if 2-3 more put in the way he did on Sunday it would have been an easy win.
Unfortunately for him 5 years ago when he was 25 he wasn’t playing like this. If anybody has offered him a contract that will take him through to 33 based off the last month, he’d be crazy if he hasn’t already signed something.
In good form but no way he should get any more than 1 year. There is a grand total of 0% chance that anyone would offer him more.

Mmm not sure on that, bit more than 0%. If we offered one someone could definitely offer a ‘why not’ two years.
Will have just turned 32 by time two years over, which is fine and not like it will be on massive coin anyway. This isn’t a James Stewart scenario, no reason not to give him two.

He is a fringe player that form seems to swing wildly with. For now, he’s really playing out of his skin which is excellent but he’s never really maintained this form consistently. I like him in the team though
