Hamish Hartlett

[Lynch takes a mark]

Dead set gun that would look very nicely in an eagles jumper (West Coast variety of course and not woodville).

Butler, Waters, Ebert, Hartlett??

Hurn ?

 

[henry123]

Apologies.

Phases mate.

3 or 4 years ago it was SA with the cream of the crop with Butler, Hurn, Waters, Cooney, Griffen, etc.

Now its WA's turn with Ryder, Clark, Burger, Gumby, Kennedy, Masten, Palmer, Myers, Rich, Natanui, etc, etc.

 

[Prem87]

What type of player is Hartlett, lots of people rate him very highly. Is he a flashy dynamic player?

 

[Super Goalie]

ohhhh wow mate please please please let us all now how your umpiring goes im on the edge of my seat right now thinking about it

Gee, maybe I wont bother now. arseh*le

 

[jgb99]

Gee, maybe I wont bother now. arseh*le

Ignore him, mate. There are plenty of others that would be interested to hear about his game.

 

[WorthTheWaite]

Gee, maybe I wont bother now. arseh*le

Haha, I would ignore him. Surely he's got to get banned sooner rather than later? Bit slow on the uptake this time.

Looking forward to the report mate.

I'm going to third this sentiment. Bloke is a douche.

Even this crap SA U18's team could polish Richmond (the cream of the AFL) off.

Don't throw stone if you live in a glass house Henry.

This is probably the attitude your recruiting manager had when passing on SA's Pavlich for Fiora....Tell me, hows that panning out for you? Didn't Fiora eventuate into Knobel? How's he doing?

Knobel....Pavlich.....hmmmmm

Keep your home state recruiting policy then, we'll just take the best available.

Actually SA have been fairly rubbish for the last couple of years. I can agree with that point.

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

Well, they're in the middle of an overhaul of the whole SA U/18s system, aren't they?

 

[Sico 17]

Yeah, they generally do have good bread in SA. What's your ____ing point?

To me the bread is just normal but the ice coffee is the best in Australia.

Too right, they'vee been poo since the Coon Dogg's year

Tanking

 

[Thunderstruck]

You won't beat Farmers Union thats for sure

Now all this crap - as someone said it goes in phases. Some of the best kids in the AFL have just come out of SA and now they are mostly coming out of WA. The wheel turns and will keep turning. This years side is ok but there is only ONE really good player in Hartlett aint that right Hodgey

Seen lots of Hartlett just as I was finishing my scouting back in SA, was an exceptional junior, very very fit, beautiful kick and a solid all round footballer who kicks goals playing midfield roles. Didn't see the game V WA looks like he got heavily tagged and didn't handle it, but nor did Cotchin last year. Is a very very good kid who would absolutely be a first round pick and be good enough to warrant top 6 or 7 selection. If the crows nab him I'll start my naked run right now.

 

[Super Goalie]

Well, Hamish had a quiet start to the match, his first 2 disposals were kicks he turned over. However, as the match went on, he got better and better. Had a lot of attention from the U/20's, and whenever he found the ball was usually shut down in 1-2 seconds with a strong tackle. Wriggles with ferrocity when tackled, gets the arms free and can dish of a handpass. Played the first half in the middle, second in the backlines, but kicked 3 goals - an angled snap from memory, a long set shot and a long running shot. Whoever said his drop punts spin fast - they do!

His team mates looked for him and used him where possible, but the 18's weren't allowed much free play all day by the 20's who used their bigger bodies to advantage, and won by 11 or 12 goals.

FYI - the umpiring went well, was made easy by plenty of sausage rolls straight over the hat...the way you like it

question super goalie - mo or no mo???

Look forward to seeing him twice in the next few weeks, see what all this fuss is about.

Ill get back to u then with an opinion

No mo.

Although it is impressive!

 

[redandblack]

Hartlett's first league game was not this year, but last year against South at Noarlunga.

He was in the best 3 on the ground in that game.

He plays for West Adelaide, who have produced plenty of great AFL players; Cooney, Porplyzia, Waters, and about 15 other current listed players.

 

[Super Goalie]

Sorry if my write up was a bit lacking guys, I don't really know exactly what to look for, and while trying to concentrate on the game it was a bit difficult to focus on him too much. What I did see though, very impressive. Hopefully the Victorian posters will be able to add their 2 cents worth in a couple of weeks

A question about Hartlett

Just watched the SA v NSW game.
I know Hartlett is rated as the second best mid, he does seem to be a real accumulator, putting himself in the right position to get handball receives from around packs.

Can someone who has seen more of him, enlighten me as to his clearance ability?
It didn't seem to be the strongest part of his game today.
It didn't look like he was doing a lot of inside work. Although his height was an advantage in getting his arms free on a few occasions.
It was encouraging that he went hard when needed.

Re: A question about Hartlett

Quite the opposite IMO. I thought he was really good inside at the stoppages - got 1st possession frequently and showed his clean hands to advantage.

I agree.

The majority his touches were in close. Which made the stats even more impressive. Not many soft touches until the end of the game when it really began opening up.
