AFL Player #19: Nick Hind

[Lore]

Contract Status: Out of contract 2024
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 31, Rick Ross

8 turnovers and mostly forward 50 entries. So no big damage done. Next level is to nail those kicks. By no means am I saying it’s career ending stuff but it’s something he hopefully improves on.

 

[Loonerty]

Twice in the space of about two minutes yesterday he kicked it over Jones' head while he was well out in front on a lead.

It's a fair comment and isn't saying he's had a s**t year or anything. Pretty bizarre response to westking.

This is a fair comment.

"if he wants to continue his forward journey with this squad..."

This is hyperbole.

He's not going to be sacked for his disposal when he's averaging 70-75% DE with relative consistency.

I think it's more a comment about the upside the entire team is showing and pointing out that's what will need to improve for him to secure the spot.

Nothing in it.

I thought he was pretty good. Missed Jones twice as Loonerty said, but he has a lot more upside. He has only played 26 games and like most of our list just needs more time at senior football. We all get excited with wins like yesterday and crack the shits when we have a bad loss, but we need to be patient and watch Rutten keep building a very competitive team.

That’s where I was coming from but can understand my comments can be interpreted differently. That’s ok. English is not a strength of mine.

You were pretty clear to me.

Hind was bog average. he needs to sort his disposal out pretty sharply or he’ll be pulling his VFL jumper out of the wardrobe.

 

[DERO]

He was awesome.

 

[Howard Moon]

When you are moving at mach 4 it's probably hard to judge depth, might need to slow up a touch before release

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Ok... he was bog average in the first half and as the game opened up he was awesome in the 2nd half

 

[ant555]

He has improved his kicking 100% from his VFL days with us. In general he has been pretty good. He defends well and the balance between run and defend is good. The only knock I have is he can fumble every now and then which is instant death in the back half however he is not alone in that regard.

Yeah the fumble early in the first deep in the defensive 50 stood out like a sore thumb.

 

[Old Campaigner]

Keep in mind he's come from the Saint so he's probably just got a bit of stage fright playing in front of more than 20k people

Was great in the second half.

He had a bad patch but other than that I’d say he was reasonable.

He’s a long way from going back to vfl

No way. Been a great replacement for Saad. Finds plenty of it to and runs all day.

Has surprisingly been better than Adam albeit off a very small sample size.

More possessions, rebound 50’s, marks, SuperCoach (amongst many more.

Adam has been ok for Carlton, Nick has been great though for a cut price

He has been fine.

Might I ask who people want to replace him with?

[Don35]

Plenty of others to have a go at before this bloke. Would be in top 4 or 5 in b and f at this stage.

has been a massive get for us. I’ll more cop the odd stray kick (which even the best do) For his overall output. Been a star for us this year both defensively and offensively.

one of the first picked given his points of differencehe adds to the back line

Hind & Cox v Saad.
Easy decision. Credit to Dodoro. We clipped Saad before the trade & he was never coming back
To land pick 8 for him vs. a 2nd or nothing (see Jack Martin) was good work.
