Player Watch #1: Hugh Greenwood

[czero]

Worked hard. Thought he was great.

 

[The Nostradamus]

game 100 next week in front of his family and friends in tassie

 

[Roosurgence]

Yesterday we got the player we thought we were going to get when we brought him in.

Strong at the contest and feeding it out to his other mids.

He looked to attack the footy a lot more instead of waiting to be the tackler.

It’s amazing what a change in mindset can do for players.

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

After taking the advantage as a cherry on top.

JFC.

Actually, Goldy and Bull did

Thought he was really good.


Looks like a cross between a praying mantis and a new born giraffe but amazing the knock on effect when those around you start playing well. Makes your life a lot easier

 

[shintemaster]

Interesting to see that his impact was much more noticeable when we played an attacking game.

Credit where credits due Hugh played one hell of a match on Saturday as well.
Just using his body to dish off the ball to teammates in better positions, his decision making was elite.
He, Jy and LDU really played an elite 4 quarters. Best game of the year and again highlights what a waste it was when he’d get it and go sideways.
Our gameplan was destroying his effectiveness.

Long sleeve jumper

 

[El Capuano]

He's a tough SOB to take down, always seems to be able to get the ball away

 

[Liam Boy]

Long sleeve jumper

I wonder if it makes him harder to tackle? He does always seem to be able to get his arms free.

 

[Caracas]

Another player on the improve. Wish it had been sooner, though.

I thought Aarts saved Curtis Taylor's ass more than Greenwood's. Curtis had 2-3 options wide open inside 50 with a minute left. He could also have simply taken his full 30 seconds and then had a shot (assuming we managed to inform the players how long was left). Instead he rushed the pass to LDU which ended up giving Richmond the ball with more than enough time to score.

I’m actually surprised Stephenson wasn’t paid the mark just inside the centre square as man in front, on Richmond’s final drive from their defence to attack.

 

[Mixed Results]

He has moved a lot better over the past month.

From the way he was moving he looked like he carried something into the season, but he has been playing a lot better lately. I don't want to make every thread about David Noble, but it's crazy that we had LDU sitting in the forward line for half the season while Greenwood limped around.

 

[Uncle_Leo]

By far his best game for the club on the weekend

 

[shintemaster]

Obviously it would be good if he could handball a bit more but I have to say I struggle to recall a player more capable of getting boot to ball whilst being mauled... well, almost ever. He's almost freakishly capable of getting a legal kick away under duress.

 

[nelroo]

The running check side though lol . Old Dennis Pagan saying don’t get your ambitions mixed up with your capabilities .. can laugh now

 

[Mr Lloyd Christmas]

Yet another Tasmanian delivering the goods ; )

In all seriousness, he has been a bit ordinary this year but I thought he played really well on Sat.

Well done Hugh, no questioning his toughness that is for sure.

 

[zoomba23]

Always admired his ability to get the ball away whilst being tackled at his previous clubs. Was nice to finally see some of that ability on show last week. Hopefully he keeps it up

 

[muttley45]

Congrat's on 100 games Hughy, starting to find form again, easily best tackler in our team, would be good if you could take a few of our younger guns under your wing and show 'em the ropes.

 

[Chewy Chewman]

How fitting that Hugh will play his 100th game in Hobart.

 

[Psicosis]

Thought his interview today said it perfectly. When he plays at his best, LDU & Jy benefit.

Was going to say, he’s very good at having the arms up above anyone tackling him. Never wrapped up. Always gets it away. Knows that aspect of a football game well.
