Waalitj Marawar (West Coast) have locked away a trio of stars with Tim Kelly, Tyrell Dewar and Jack Hutchinson all re-signing with the Eagles.

As first reported by The West Australian, Kelly has signed a two-year extension tying him to the club until the end of 2027.

Dewar has signed a three-year deal, also first reported by The West Australian, while last year’s mid-season draftee Hutchinson has inked a three-year extension on top of the deal he already has locking him away until the end of 2029.

Kelly, 30, was the subject of speculation that he could be on the move last year and was dropped for the first time in his career before the Gather Round clash defeat to Carlton because of poor form.

The 2023 John Worsfold medallist has rediscovered his best at half-forward and was among the best in their breakthrough win over Euro-Yroke (St Kilda) at the weekend, lighting up the last term.

“I’m absolutely stoked to be committing for another two years,” Kelly — who has played 104 games for the Eagles since crossing in 2019 — said.

“I’m always really grateful for the opportunity that the club gave me, they got me and my family home at a time when we really needed it.

“There was no intentions of looking anywhere else, and I’m just pumped that we could get this done.”

Eagles list boss Matt Clarke said Kelly’s leadership would be vital as part of the club’s rejuvenation under Andrew McQualter.

“We are delighted to have Tim onboard for the next two years with the West Coast Eagles,” he said.

“Tim’s talent and experience will be vitally important to the regeneration of our squad under Andrew and keeping our 2023 Club Champion was a priority.

“He has the flexibility in his game to play through several positions in our new system and his leadership for our young core is highly valued. We feel Tim has some strong football ahead.”

Dewar has emerged as an exciting part of the Eagles’ next generation, with the 2022 Naitanui Academy graduate playing the first seven games of this season after going from a small forward to a dangerous wingman.

“I feel so grateful, it’s a big thing for me and my family,” Dewar said.

“The club put so much trust in me in my first year, I got picked up as a category-B rookie and they’ve just believed in my since I first got drafted, and I’m forever grateful for the opportunity they’ve given me.

“I love coming to work every day, everyone has a big smile on their face, we all have a laugh and a bit of banter, and we all get along really well. I love the boys.”

Meanwhile, Hutchinson — who was picked up in last year’s mid-season rookie draft — was already signed on for next season but has added a further three years to his deal.

Hutchinson has gone from a high-flying forward last year to a midfielder under McQualter and most recently found a spot on the wing, playing seven of 10 games this year to take his career tally to 14.

“I’m super pumped, coming over less than a year ago and to now re-sign is amazing. It was my goal to be able to re-sign,” Hutchinson said.

“I’ve been loving my time over here and I think we’re moving the right way so I’m super keen to be involved in the next few years with the club.

“I love it over in Perth, it suits me well, a few waves, nice weather so it’s a suitable environment for me, plus all the boys at the club, I’m really enjoying it.

“The move over was so seamless, all the support I had from coaches and other staff around the club, and all the boys were so welcoming, I’ve made some really good mates over here.”

Clarke said Hutchinson had plenty of strong attributes as an AFL footballer that had impressed in the past 12 months.

“His approach to craft, his body and his passion for the club was obvious in a very short time,” he said.

“He has the attributes to play multiple roles on the field while having a presence that makes others want to get better, and we are excited to have Jack locked in as an important member of our future.”
