I think Hugo is a very patchy player. His kicking is hit & miss literally. It’s his no 1 challenge to establish himself as an AFL player. Mini sees it.
Comforting to see that the match committee has seen what a number of us have.
Has gone from inconsistent kicking to inconsistent disposal.
Handballing to teammates feet when they're only a few metres away just isn't on. George used to do it but that was in vastly superior teams where his mistakes could be minimised due to the supporting cast around him. In our current team, it's terminal.
In his fourth season and has been dropped multiple times. He better improve quickly, or he'll be prime trade bait. And we need picks.

For some reason I like the ball in Ralpsmith’s hands.
To me he looks so compact and solid in his stride. If only his kicking was more polished we’d have a superstar on our hands.
As it is I think Hugo will be very good for us and some kind of solace for losing Markov, which I think was poor in hindsight. Guys with these attributes tend to do well in the current stand rule meta

"Hugo just had his 27th best ever career game. Let's give him a 7 year extension and the captaincy".
One backman in for another. Who else was vlaustin going to replace?
Personally I feel he’s unlucky to be named as dropped.
He makes mistakes but I feel like he still shows a lot of promise & with more games he’ll be fine. Looks like a deer in headlights occasionally but not anywhere near as much as a young Dan Jackson who I remember would look like this regularly & significantly improved in this area over time. I think they’ll name him as the sub.
I am a believer

for all hrs faults, he made us better last week.
the markov flick was unfathomable....couldn't believe it, now pies first 18.
nothing but crickets here.
the george crucifixion here, shamed into an early out atrocious...'no need for pace with the stand rule'.... fmd.
forgive me for thinking 'no one not quick' was the point of difference in our 3 flags...& still is with flag favs pies.
pretty sure u dont get dusty max without his freedom of surrounding pace cover.
but with now snails cotch, jack, ross & graham automatics, i obviously have no idea.
i swear dimma forgot the sausage recipe or was it just not the heart to do a mitchell?
i feel sorry most for those down field/play subject to the overlap run off....horrendously disadvantaged & savaged.
i'm hoping for the honorable joint cotch n jack retirement post 300...seriously what is the point?
can we please just develop ?

So much this. He has the athletic traits. But disposal and decision making are as you say very patchy. And he has almost no physicality to his game. Understand he is young but perhaps he should be watching videos of Kmac to see how much impact a winger can have with his body as well as his run.
Agree with you, yet Ross is the same and you cannot see it with him. Don't get it.
