Pick 20# Welcome to the Bulldogs Cooper Hynes

[maddog37]

Which still gives us access to a Dyson Sharp, Josh Lindsay, Oli Greeves, Sam Grlj or Sam Cumming if we want to go small, or Harry Dean, Aidan Schubert or Xavier Taylor if we wanted tall, all extremely good prospects.

Hynes is getting there and looking better at VFL level, but has only shown glimpses at AFL level to this stage. Certainly nowhere near fantastic at the top level yet.

He has shown more at AFL level than any of the players you have named.

Well of course he has, those other guys haven't played AFL yet.

Hynes will be an absolute bull in the middle & damaging when rested forward. He is tough & classy. I’m backing him in to be as good as those picked up in this years draft.

I hope you're right, it's a bold call. Sharp (a similar prospect), is a better footballer at the same age and he looks to be better in all contested aspects even as we speak from watching SANFL seniors.

I think Hynes will be a good player at the end of the day. I'd be happier with a Duursma, CDT or Lindsay though. Time will tell.
