Welcome Hugo Ralphsmith

I was a Hugo h8r before it got cool. Thought he was all haircut and whimsy.

But the 2024 Hugo works for a living. I like the 2024 Hugo.

Same.

Had a great month after returning.

He's had a couple of poor games over the past 3 weeks though.

Needs another level up, or he will probably not be around long.

He may have reached his ceiling.

Fair, but I'm gonna stick my neck out and say he's gonna level up again in 2025.

Always had the speed, which is just so important in this modern Steve Hocking inspired game.

He's learning how to graft and play tough at the moment. Still coming.

Here's hoping, we could use a hard running winger who can link up.
 
Getting better. Still plenty of room for improvement in his game, which is a positive.
Gees he runs though. And runs. He just needs to tidy his disposal up.

A better version of Kamdyn. He will keep getting better.

Reminds me of early days Kmac, but not a better version. At least, not yet. If Hugo ends up with a career as good as Kmacs, it’s a win. If he ends up better, we’ll have struck gold.

Geezuz. Kamdyn is a 200 game dual premiership player. And whilst he has some faults he exerts a physical presence on the contest and has played some great footy over his career.

Hugo has no chance of emulating Kamdyn’s career. He tries hard but he exemplifies the position in which we find ourselves.
