A bit left field, but what about Billy Hartung?
24, Quick, great endurance (holds AFL beep test record of 16.6), good on both sides, loves a goal (once kicked 20 goals straight in a game (albeit U/14, but still a fair achievement)).
Played 63 games over 4 seasons at Hawthorn. (20,18,18 in last 3 seasons)
Was really stiff to get cut by North. Played the first 13 games last year then got injured, couldn’t get back in (Trent Dumont took position), got cut because he was uncontracted and they needed to cut another player to comply with delisting quota.
I know he’s not fashionable, but he played a ton of senior footy really for a nobody, and for a very strong Hawthorn outfit. He averaged 18 disposals a game over his career (over 20 for 2 of those years at Hawthorn). The numbers just don’t add up. Worth half a season of trial to see if he can carve a spot as a small forward?
