Now is the time. Surely Pickett plays midfield.

Come Sunday about half time onwards, this thread is going to be in meltdown.

Perfect replacement for McIntosh based on what we have seen. Not hard at it. Turns it over by foot. But running patterns and guarding space is good. Just needs to develop his aerobic capacity so he can do all those things for 93 minutes. Prove me wrong Hugo. FYI he is still a lot better than I ever was but I was a good club man.
I hope he can make it. Really like his pace and when he’s kicking is on point, it’s good. Defensively he needs work but this is his time to step up.
On a side note, watched a VFL game next to his family and they were lovely people so wish the best for him.

Runs a sub 6.10 2km, endurance is fine.

Needs to watch Sinclair at the Saints video as he would be awesome if he could get to that campaigner’s level.
His overhead marking is definitely underated too ... hoping he puts it together on Sunday like he has been at VFL level this year ... his weapons suit the modern game.
19 possessions 8 marks 2 goals would be nice ... we need to find more goalkickers with the last two weeks being 5 and 6 individuals only.
I like that he has an instinct to have a dash , hope he goes alright , now is his big chance to stake a claim in the side
Still prob better than Pickett and macca
That might be true , but he hasn't got a ounce of there defence instincts.

He is 100/1 to surprise which is about the price most horses pay with this form comment

Because we have pretty much no one else.
He couldn’t do any worse than our vice captain Short , who is spudding it up big time…

Although his VFL form has been ok I still think he lacked hardness in those games. I'm glad he's been given a go bc we need to see if he's got what it takes otherwise he's in the delisting bin.

Happy for Hugo to be given an opportunity, his form at VFL level has warranted the call up and now he gets his chance to show he can be part of the future of the club. We need players like Hugo to come good, because while having stars is great, having solid role players who can provide support week to week are more important to how the side goes long term.
Hugo has the ability to run and carry from the back half and that is what we need to play the game style that Yze wants to, that quick rebound from the back line into our forward line. His ball use has improved this year, as has his defensive accountability.

How soon we forget how much of a liability his kicking is under absolutely zero pressure. And his defensive game. And his decision making.
Clearly you haven't watched any VFL this year ... definitely improved in all these areas

I've watched very little, yes.
Good for him if he has improved but I'll believe he is up to afl standard when I see it (in at least 1, then a number seniors games).

Banks, Clarke, Cumbo, Green and even Naishsmith would be a much better option than Ralphshit

I don't rate him either but is calling him that necessary?
