Pick 20# Welcome to the Bulldogs Cooper Hynes

[dergert]

The passage in the 2nd quarter where he laid two smothers and a tackle in succession was huge.

His ability to run out games can be worked on, but that desperation is something that can’t be taught. Great trait and something we needed.

Shane Biggsish.

 

[JohnnySteel]

No wonder, we knocked back Norths pick to draft this bloke. Has all the tools to become an elite midfielder / forward.

 

[Here we go dogs]

Reminds me a lot of Jordon Degoey

 

[TiAn_]

I think we already have the future version of Hynes in the side in this year’s iteration of Matt Kennedy.

 

[JTCWBFC]

Reminds me a lot of Jordon Degoey

I get Bailey Humphrey vibes

 

[Werewolf]

I hope he's like our past #6... Brad Johnson

Do explain please?

 

[Dale4captain]

Do explain please?

North had a standing offer to everyone in the first round the year just gone that they’d hand over their future first rounder so they could pick up Matt Whitlock who they rated at around pick 10-12 on their draft board.

So they essentially would have swapped us pick 3 for pick 20.

They ended up swapping it for Richmond’s pick 27 and a future 2nd rounder.

That's Gold Coast-esque.

 

[Dogs till i die]

Yep, made me smile too.

Also loved his Dusty don't argue, his couple of side steps and a baulk or too.

Didn't do a lot overall to be fair, but those signs told me he has got it.

I like Hynes, but I'm sorry, I'd have liked this trade much more.

By the time we'd have picked it would already be out to pick 6

Hynes in the back half of the season at AFL/VFL level has looked fantastic

Which still gives us access to a Dyson Sharp, Josh Lindsay, Oli Greeves, Sam Grlj or Sam Cumming if we want to go small, or Harry Dean, Aidan Schubert or Xavier Taylor if we wanted tall, all extremely good prospects.

Hynes is getting there and looking better at VFL level, but has only shown glimpses at AFL level to this stage. Certainly nowhere near fantastic at the top level yet.

Did you watch his game vs Sydney?

Clean composed made the difficult look effortless in a high intensity hostile game

 

[Mofra]

Hynes is a classic footballer first, athlete second.
He was always going to be a slow burn. But worth it.

 

[Hoges64]

I did. That was a glimpse.

1 kick, 9 handballs, 1 mark and 1 tackle in 86 minutes of football doesn't exactly scream future star.

He may very well get there, but he's got a long way to go.

 

[Testekill]

Hynes is a classic footballer first, athlete second.
He was always going to be a slow burn. But worth it.

He's going to have a big impact this VFL finals I would imagine
