Just seems like he only has 1 gear and doesn’t look desperate enough to win the loose ball. It looks like he’s happy for the opposition to beat him to the loose ball and then make a tackle rather that the other way round.

He plays one ok game in 4 years and everyone forgets how poo he is.  He was dragged multiple times in the VFL last season for soft pathetic efforts.  Expect that to continue

He was picked to play last night and he performed pretty well.

Not sure what else you want, he can’t go back and change how he has played in the past.

If you’re going to criticise him when he plays poor, you can acknowledge when he has an ok game.

Keeps his spot based on that. If he’s crap next week he can be criticised and dropped then.

Of course he keeps his stop after last nights performance. His best game for the club and hopefully plays out the year on the wing.

The club made the right call to make K Mac the sub last night and prioritise Hugo .

Hugo can’t kick.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Was good. Only shirked a few contests which was good to see

To be fair i thought he was decent. May have been his best game for us. Just know though he will revert back to norm soon enough.
