Next up is Ralphsmith.
Hugo in his fourth year (third since debuting) played in 13 out of a possible 23 games to take his career tally to 32. If there is a song to describe Hugo's 2023 it would be The Who's "Substitute" as he was named the sub five times in those 13 appearances.
Season Highlights
* 19 disposals (10 kicks, 9 hballs), 6 marks, 4 tackles & a goal in the R4 4pt-loss to the Bulldogs at the MCG (Apr 8)
* 18 disposals (12 kicks, 6 hballs) and 6 marks in the R5 44pt-loss to Sydney at Adelaide Oval (Apr 14)
* 17 disposals (7 kicks, 10 hballs) and 6 marks in the R12 6pt-win over GWS at Giants Stadium (Jun 4)
* 17 disposals (6 kicks, 11 hballs) and 3 marks in the R11 10pt-loss to Port Adelaide at the MCG (Jun 4)

How did we all rate Hugo's year?
-
Gave him a 2
Didn't improve and I'm not sure he went backwards either.
Low starting base TBBH so it's hard to gauge if he regressed or not
Incredibly frustrating player to watch. Reckon he could be an excellent kick as it is his sole strength but he fails to use it to his advantage. I would think his run and disposal would set up to be that running wingman but he was unable to nail a spot on the wing
Think we've all seen his lack on attack at contests. Think his tackle number speaks volumes of his contest work
Will be interesting to see if he gets another contract
-
I'd give him less than zero if it was a score. Nothing worse than a soft, outside flanker.
Fartley and co should have traded him last year when he had some currency.

He’s worse than this summary
Never disliked a player more ..
What does he do well apart from run fast in bursts ???
His haircut matches his football .. ugly and somewhat feminine
-
Well we drafted him and played him.
He did the best he could.
He always seems positive
Good on him

Yep
Probably a champion fella
Not sure being nice gets bonus points ?
This isn’t the under 8’s participation award
Nice Dustin Hoffman moment from the Fockers
“Wall of Gaylord”
-
If we get anything better than a 4th round pick for him then I'll rate his season 10/10 just for that. :shh
-
He may be the biggest whipping boy on our list .
-
I gave him a 1 because he was marginally better than the 0 I gave MRJ.
If this is the future we are F'd for a decade.
I would trade or delist him.

100% not the under 8’s
If under 8’s he would have got game time no matter his ability, yet RFC selected him……?

Not after Round 12 they didn't .. selected as a sub a few times, but they even gave up on that the last handful of games
Was given a chance early in the year to establish himself in the side, wasn't good enough ..
End of story really

Side note
Two utter clowns (I’d prefer to use far more appropriate words, but PC Australia tells me that’s naughty) gave him 10
LMAO
Whoever did that should stick to Netball
Clueless , and that’s being polite

Reckon someone is trying to get a reaction with that rating….

Well there's at least one poster here who thinks our list consists of 42 guns and Noah Cumberland..... :shh

I gave him a 0. He is pure outside, a poo user of the ball when he does get the hand ball receives, doesn’t block for his team mates and doesn’t contest a ground ball when he needs to. Apparently he’s fast but I’m pretty sure I’ve seen him get run down heaps of times so there’s that as well
I’m sorry he’s the whipping boy of 2023 but man it’s always a feeling of dread when he has ball in hand.

At least he isn’t fat.

I'd say most disappointing season on list.
We turned down Hugo as part of Hopper package and used picks instead. Has halved his market currency from last year.
In his defence was played as a sub a lot and his role from when he was drafted changed.
Needs a big pre season and huge crack at it next year. If he has the same year as this year. I can see Hugo delisted next year.

Umm not quite
Hugo was contracted and didn't want to go, so he stayed.
Can't trade a bloke who's contracted if they don't want to go.
Same with Soldo, GWS were interested he didn't want to go
Really that rule needs to change...players want FA then they need to give up the right to veto trades
That's how real FA works in other sports around the globe

Not sure he has halved his currency as we have a deal on the table and 3 other clubs have real interest.

Let him go I say, he went backwards this season*** at a rate of knots and we have others who can play his role much better than he does.
*** not that he was great prior to this season, far too many weaknesses in his game IMHO

FAT FAT FAT.
God that felt good.

You’re a bad bad man

Big fat Zero. needs to be given away. needs to be shot out of a cannon as quick as we can ram him in. just needs to go.
Cannot believe i'm saying it but is actually the softest player on our list.

Yeah u can. Every other team does it including the best team going around now - Grundy and Trealor,example A. Just tell they are better off elsewhere and they’ll go.

True some do go but in all your examples as you said yourself they agreed to go
Hugo didn't agree for whatever his reason, so he stayed.
Reckon he will go this year. Question becomes what will we get for him

So over hyped this guy and shows absolutely nothing and Mini gifted him games.
-
over hyped? He is the one of the worst players i have ever seen at our club and that is saying something as there has been a few duds.
That stupid hair of his matches his ability.

It’s actually an interesting debate
Is the hair worse
Or his efforts at getting a hard ball get
Both are horrendous , I know that much

you really don't like Mini very much ;D
Sometimes if you want to get rid of someone you need to play them to get their currency up :santa

Mate I just don't want him as a coach nothing against the bloke because he conducts himself well in the media.
I just didn't see enough from our side with him in charge couple spineless efforts and players being favoured.

Reckon this is a very strange take
Hardwick coached 10 games , Hugo in the 22 six times and a further game as sub
Mini coached 13 games , Hugo in the 22 twice in the rounds straight after Mini took over and not seen again in the 22 for the year .. only a few games as a sub late in the season
I’d suggest Dimma is the culprit far more than Mini
Send Hugo to the Gold Coast for a pack of skittles

Half a packet of home brand soft jubes would be more fitting. :shh

What was embarrassing is the post.
A joke.
Would get a job at news corp with that lack of research.
You expect players to deliver and YOU post dribble.
