Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Pick 37, Henry Hustwaite - Debuts against the Dees!

[MrPremiership]

Q: I know he is likely going to be an inside mid but can we get him in as a third tall forward? Spots are hard to find in the middle

Seems the good sides have that tall mid who can go forward and kick goals, Petracca at Melbourne, Rayner at Melbourne, Cripps at Cartlon, Bont and WB.

Would like to see him be able to do that

His last game didn’t hurt that possibility at all did it? Bruest’s kick to him -
OMG ….

[extractasam]

His lack of leg speed is his only ?

If he doesn't make it, he'll always have last Sunday. Dream debut.

Doesn’t matter when you have the “footy chip”. He’s a pure footballer, nice set shot too, hits the ball very flush.

 

[Colloquy]

Correct weight. He has two elite afl traits (quick hands and time and space in traffic) get the rest of his game up to a C+ B level and we are looking at a serious player. Will need to, obviously, find a second position also

I feel that could be forward the way he marked and kicked the goals.

A good article on AFL.COM.AU on Henry's football journey and his families involvement in footy worth a read

Primary school level literacy right there...

You can't even think it's a typo...

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Nah that's probably just autocorrect typos, which happen all the time. Hell, I've even got a couple of Grumbleguts' screenshotted for a rainy day.

The problem is not proof reading prior to posting.

I'm seeing a lot of these really stupid typos on social media posts in the last year or so. To the point where I'm suspicious it's actually fully intended as another avenue to drive engagement on posts with people commenting just to call it out.

yes well if you are on a hill, you are more than likely to roll down it.

I dont know who is to blame but that is not uncommon even for the mainstream journos. *en horrible.

And don’t sleep on JOS if he can get his body right he could be a great Breust replacement. Would love Ginni Wiz JOS long term. Also BMac tracking well until injury.

Henry “Hustler” has a nice ring to it

 

[MrPremiership]

Lots to like about this kid.

Needs to put it together at BHH and give the coaches a headache

I have a feeling we will see Hust in side with in the first month and then be very hard to displace. He has a point of difference and will improve rapidly with game time IMO..

Don't ask me who he replaces as I have no idea.

Nice read on Huss with his development/growth over summer:

. He’s been challenging himself against them – and they’re quality midfielders – so now stepping out against guys like Tom Liberatore is not that much of a big step up for him because he’s been doing it all summer.”
