Past #26: Taylor Hine - officially delisted by North Melbourne (31/10/14)

[Roobound]

The Taylor Hine appreciation thread, good to see.

At what time does it turn into the Taylor Hine Get rid of thread for a first gamer ?


Play well son, best of luck. l like the way you go about it. I expect errors and l will take errors with players who don't mind throwing a bit of weight and cracking in.

 

[blackshadow]

Congratulations and good luck Taylor!

First look at the man. Is that a long body and short legs, or the grotesque warpery of youtube?

Long body, short legs = get on it

For now he joins the list of unique given names (not counting varied spelling or abbreviated names) of North Melbourne players. The other are
Alastair, Angelo, Ashley, Athol, Barnie, Basil, Beres, Blake, Brenton, Byron, Cairo, Callum, Carl, Chad, Clem, Clive, Cruize, Cyril, Dal, Damien, Digby, Dinny, Dion, Djaran, Drew, Dudley, Duncan, Dylan, Edgar, Evan, Gareth, Garmah, Grant, Greg, Hamish, Hector, Ivor, Jeremy, Joel, Jose, Julian, Kasey, Keenan, Kent, Kieran, Kristian, Kym, Lachlan, Levi, Lloyd, Luke, Malcolm, Marcus, Mario, Milton, Mo, Mowbray, Murray, Orm, Oscar, Ossy, Robin, Roger, Rohan, Roland, Rupert, Saverio, Todd, Trent, Troy, Vic, Viv, Warwick, Wellesley, Winston, Wolfgang, Xavier

The italic ones are current players - too easy
The bold one are all players in the AFL era (1990 onwards)
Some of the others are pretty famous - but most aren't!

Luke is unique? He has his own gospel.

You gotta love V-Lookup

 

[Higgins2Waite]

We've never had a Bort?

No but we've had a few supporters named Bort...

 

[Kimbo]

The kid's looking okay. Sticking tackles, kicking to targets and cool head under pressure.

 

[Chog]

Liked his game so far...tough and quick.

 

[FridaynightForever]

Sounds like he had a decent game today. Hopefully he continues to improve as the year goes on. I certainly hope he doesn't get dropped. Or that people don't start calling for his blood a la Jacobs.

 

[ozzyoslo]

I have a good feeling about this guy. If he can do a job on the Jetta types of the comp then we've got a very valuable addition to the side.

Still Rising Star eligible btw.

Nice call Daz!!

 

[blackshadow]

Handy debut, I'm looking forward to seeing more.

 

[shinboner spiggs]

wasnt the worst of debuts, looked an old head on young shoulders. should keep his spot.

 

[True North]

Good 1st half, only conceding 1 to Hannebury. 2nd half was in the same bucket as the rest of them.

 

[Carlos Herrrnandez]

Best game for the club in our best win of the year

Great pick up in last years draft, may we see more and more of that!

Was a bit iffy with the ball at time but kept varcoe(?) to very little. Has done well as a tagger this year.

 

[scooby1279]

Needs to improve his kicking but overall good game. Definitely improves us though.

Yep agree, he smacked the suitcase out of Varcoe in the first half and then put the screws on Motlop in the second half.

He's the new glove!

 

[Higgins2Waite]

Great pickup that one. Fills a void we so desperately needed. His speed and carry tonight was impressive. I swear he is made of rubber though, players tend to bounce off him at times! Once he attends the atley school of kicking he'll be a ripper. Cheers GC, Swallow next thanks

 

[sickmick92]

Posted about Hine in the Votes thread. The bloke is the kind of player that is vital to our club without getting the accolades. Does leave a little to be desired on the outside but typifies the shinboner spirit. The game would be for the better if more blokes like him were involved

 

[Maddox]

Great game from Hine. Played his role perfectly. Made Varcoe look piss and collected plenty of possies himself

 

[NiceCunnington]

He shows plenty. Had a horror third term with the ball. Will be quality when he improves his disposal.

 

[the smith show]

Love his toughness, attitude ad speed. Can shut down a player and give good run.

His disposal was at it's worst last night. Hopefully it improves soon.

Hine and Jacobs will be valuable down the road for us and were cheap pick ups.

 

[Star]

Don't wish to be negative as I'm a fan of Taylor's. But he did make a couple of poor decisions and executions tonight (as did Sam Wright). Happy to concede Hiney is inexperienced and will be better for the run.

Agree - had we lost we may be a little harsher in our summary of Taylor's game. A couple of very poor decisions were costly. But do agree there were good signs and I'm certainly not giving up on Hine. Developing OK.

 

[Zondor]

Early Hine had the task on Motlop and Motlop tore Hine apart with his pace. As _Nicey_ said Hine had a horror turd term with his disposal. Hine managed to link up in some nice passages of play, defend well on some occasions and did find the ball but I felt he was one of our poorer players. :stern look
