Player Watch #1: Hugh Greenwood

[DuckYeah]

But hes no good. Just horrible horrible foresight by our list management team.

If they couldnt see that LDU was going to become A grade and JHF and TT both want midfield time then they shouldnt be in the positions they are in.

The idea behind it wasn’t the worst. A bigger bodied mid whilst Jed career was in limbo and no certainty with Cunners. It wasn’t the worst idea. Im pretty sure the third year is based on trigger clause?

 

[Usayed Givashe]

I heard we're giving him a recruiting job.

The melts would not be worth it.

JFC.

I agree, the general consensus around here was based on him filling a gap while Cunners and Jed were out and giving some chop out/leadership to the young crew. Hindsight as they say is a wonderful thing.

Knightmare has a recruiting job?

Holy snapping duck s**t.

People seem to think that everyone in the AFL is the best of the best and the highest tier in any given field. It's only when you meet a few, or know a bit about the system that you realise they are just like every other company out there: some really great people in their field and some pretty ordinary ones.

It's why I often take issue with supporters of any team blindly trusting their administration.

It’s who, not what.

Especially in the incestuous industry that is the AFL.

You mean Jobe Watson didn't get the job all on his own?

Sooner the lawyers are removed, the better.

HQ could be cut in half again.

Holy snapping duck s**t.

I'm not sure that's true.

No mention on his twitter (which is active) or his LinkedIn.

 

[tazaa]

Jesus brother that shot in the last. You’re a senior player with questionable kicking. A check side on the run from 40 is as low percentage as it gets!
Just had to vent as Aarts saved his ass

 

[the flying ham]

Solid game in the middle. Plenty of grunt, always getting his hands free in the tackle

 

[Kanga Glory]

Best game in the blue and white

 

[Hearts to hearts]

That’s the game he was brought in to play. Strong impact.

 

[amaz199]

Huge impact.


Not sure if anyone noticed but he raised his arms to keep his hands free so he could dispose of the ball. Such a crucial technique that allowed us to contain possession!

one of the benefits playing as a mid at 191

 

[The Nostradamus]

He was better but I want JHF getting more mid time than him ditto TT when he comes back. Greenwood can go forward more instead

 

[roomagic1984]

Curious as to what his wing span would be. Has some very very long arms!

 

[1970crow]

Curious as to what his wing span would be. Has some very very long arms!

didn't watch him much at the suns, but with us he had the knack of getting his hands to the ball between oppo handball and their target. A bit of a nuisance in the contest.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Did lots of positive things that wouldn’t have been reflected on the stats sheet. He is a bit of a scrapper in the disposal department in the Simpson mould, but by gosh did he save us and step up with his reach and strength in the contest at crucial times. Great game.

I loved seeing how excited he was at the siren. Bleeds blue and white.

 

[Shinboner1]

Holy snapping duck s**t.

He made a video ages ago about his plans for this year and moving away from big ffooty.no wonder he cancelled his stuff

 

[Shinboner1]

Seemingly had a much better game this week which I was pretty happy with.
Keen to see what Greenwood can do when we're actually up and firing.
Isn't playing like the must carry the mids type of player but I guess he never was that. Reckon a few fans throw him into that catagory because he's basically our biggest name signing in the last 2 years.

 

[shinboner magic]

That’s better
Got his hand onto a lot of balls and broke up their play.
That advantage he took - seemed to me to be as the umpire blew the whistle. Think it should of been brought back

 

[SheezNuts]

Has very quick hands. Always manages to release when under immediate pressure. Really strong awareness in those situations.
