Harsh? Possibly. We all see players a little differently I guess Taz..a bit harsh

But your excuses above certainly hasn't stopped you delisting your boy Cumbo several times already who was taken in that same draft, had a knee reco in between & has been gifted numerous less games..but yeah possibly I was being a little harsh mate.
Hugo’s game tonight deserves some love. He’s turning into a hard running winger. Exactly one area we need a boost in.
Disposal was the big problem but even that has improved. Becoming a player.
Like Grover just gets a hand in on the contest.
Only goes down as a spoil on the stats sheet, but I reckon Ralphsmith had around five critical pressure acts before he got his first possession.
Runs hard, pressures hard and most importantly this season, IS hard.
Breakout.

Not getting big possession numbers he’s having big impact on games. Defensive efforts and hard running are there for all to see. Massive improver this year.
39 games now for a number 46 pick - we are starting to see another young player emerge, it been hard for Hugo but he is now showing us more than the odd glimpse of what he good be.
Great running and has enough confidence now to show a bit of mungrel which every good winger has.

Has been transforming in front of our eyes.
Would love to be a fly on the wall and know how much if it has been specific coaching and how much of it has been just positive encouragement from the new coaches.
Looked like a galloping pony with diabolical disposal last year, and is now turning into a tough competitor that’s getting to the right spots.

Agree with everything that has been said in the previous 11 posts. He’s become fearless and his attack aerially and at ground level on contests has been a massive positive. Saved half a dozen goals and broke down a lot of transition setups of the Crows. Very hard to get a kick on him because with his speed he closes down on you very quickly.
7 possessions against the lowly Crows isn't going to change my opinion just yet but he's going ok.
Agree. Stats schmats. Loved his 1%ers around the ground. Just needs better support when he does these and the ball's loose.
Last month of football has been top notch.
He has now added footballer to athlete.
Has been extremely sharp in the contest.
