Beauty. Love the way this bloke plays.

Another good signing. You could say that Hinge will be 'pivotal' to our side for the next few years.

With Hinge, Keys, Door-son and now Curtain we are collecting quite a lot of household names!

I'm hoping the Butt Hinge combo will be a well oiled machine swinging out of defence for a long time to come.

Always been a fan

That is quality posting right there

Any hope of some midfield time this year?

Wing you would think more than inside midfield, unless we get injuries.

The squad could use some Doweling to hold together tightly

Sneaky AA squad chance. And no, I’m not just saying that because I got him in the draft game haha

Quality re-signing

I was going to say “he’s too good at half back” but while writing it I changed my mind.

You are right … He has tools that could work in lots of positions.

Worth a try.

Quality re-signing

I'm with you on the AA Squad chance. He has a lot of eye catching tools. And was playing as well as anybody in his position for parts of last year.

TBH we probably need to find a permanent new home for one of Brodie Smith, or Wayne Milera though. Personally I like the back 6 with Hinge and Milera back there, send Smith to the wing as a Seedsman type, or the 2's if the younger players are better suited.

 

[Coopers]

Excellent. Hinge was one of the "clearly has gone to another level" players last year. He can keep, or better that form.

Our two biggest priorities have now been signed. Excellent.

Anyone got a list of our players whose current contract ends in 2024?

Gather no 1st team players outside Tex & Sloane.

We've gone the George Costanza "do the opposite" tactic in terms of our usual re-signing order

Obviously you can take Hinge off now, but predominantly fringe players and I suspect we'll be cutting ties with a few of them (Sholl, Himmelberg, Parnell, Borlase, maybe McHenry,).

Cook and Berry are the ones that need big years to see where we go with them. I can see Gollant requesting a trade for more opportunities too (has ties to North who would have a best 22 spot for him).

 

[MrBarry]

Excellent seriously rate this bloke.

As an aside, how many left footers do we have in the team now? Its easily the most I can remember at the club ever - how do we compare to other clubs currently?

Could be a point of difference.

 

[PeterSalt]

A few highlights from his last couple of years

 

[spenze]

Have a few mates who are diehard Brisbane Bears supporters and they rated Hinge and were strangely and rather overconfidently given they've won nothing, happy to see him get an opportunity elsewhere.

Guessing they'd like Hipwood to get an opportunity elsewhere after his effort in the last GF

 

[CrowToon]

Yeah, nobody on this board has come close to heaping crap on Hinge than you!!

Oh my, never have I ever been the target of such unsubstantiated accusations in my life.

 

[40porpoise]

According to SEN and champion data he's the 9th highest rated player in the comp at the moment.

I must admit I thought he's had a slow and not so good start to the year, with some excruciating turnovers, so interesting to hear.

Time stamp within talking about Adelaide, mentions the above

 

[Danger in Texas]

Rated 8th best kick in the comp this year?

Hinge was great against the Blues (not so much for the rest of this season), but I now remember why I don’t pay attention to Hoyne’s stuff

Good game against GCS (a few posters commented how preseason form is BS) and excellent last week, he was shit in the other 3 games.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

His last 2 weeks have been back to normal

Started the season scratchily I thought

Pivotal turnovers I think we (BigFooty) are harsher on that most stat systems
