Player Watch Welcome to Hawthorn - Connor Downie - #35 2020 National Draft

[Strapping Young Lad]

Solid debut*.

 

[Brant]

Really strong development from Downie all year and now we can officially say good first game!

Can anyone check what the stats are for players going at 100% in game 1?

How does he have 1x turnover, yet maintain 100% DE? Unless the turnover was deliberate?

Beats me maybe kick off the ground or tap on?

I think it counts as an efficient disposal if the ball travels positively 40m+.
Could have blasted it to a contest that they won?

Yes, that’s what happened

 

[Goldhawk]

Really happy to see Connor Downie do well in his first game for the club , like his skills and decision making.

Spinal Tap had an amp that went to 11.

Also I've seen many sportsman who manage to give 110%.

It's the magic of numbers.

I really hope Downie isn’t one of the omissions next week. Give him another game.

I would have thought he'd earned a spot next week- 12 at 100% isn't a bad effort.
Only reason I could see him missing is if they're wanting to have the senior heads in for the send off.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

He's going to be a key component to the rebuild moving forward with that lethal boot of his.

Reckon he will be a weapon defensively after a few pre season to

 

[TylerDurden]

Like him. Keep in next week.

Of all players on the ground...

1st for total distance covered at high speed.
3rd for total distance covered.
1st for average moving speed.
3rd average speed in attack.

He's a workhorse.

Wasn’t afraid of getting axed by bigger bodies, really liked his work

Bit like Brad Hill in his early days working hard but not being given the pill.

That is very very promising from CD.

 

[CHUBBSS]

Could he be destined for the middle? Kids a racehorse would be amazing for pressure

Dipper II
He just needs a handlebar mou!

Love these stats. Would love the coaches this week to be instilling him with the confidence to drive the ball long with with his leg. Thought he second guessed himself a couple of times then just went laterally… want him to take on the Issy Smith role!

 

[MrPremiership]

Glad he got a real game this year.

Hopefully a big pre-season is coming

Debut #2

 

[MrPremiership]

Debut #2

really happy for him

 

[CHUBBSS]

Debut #2

I have massive wraps for him, he will outwork any flaw in his game.

How good is it hearing Sammy getting into him about kicking on his other foot and then he does it at AFL

 

[Dewnior]

I think it counts as an efficient disposal if the ball travels positively 40m+.

Yes, that’s what happened

I think you mean effective disposal but either way it f#$king shouldn't count.

And they call it Champion Data
pffffft

 

[rei154]

Debut #2

Sounds like a young man who has seriously bought into the program and is going to put the hard yards in for us.
Little smirk when talking about Sammy getting into him about his right foot and him getting one off in game was great- the buy-in that Sammy seems to have with the young brigade makes me incredibly excited for the next chapter.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Sam made some comments in his VFL game wraps early in the year that implied Connor was a bit soft in the contest, and it had me worried as I could see that too when watching him play, but after watching him on the weekend the fears of him not being able to put his body over the ball have gone.

He's a bit of a conundrum though in the way he moves, as he looks like he's putting in half efforts and not pushing himself, but his numbers(GPS) say otherwise.
