Delisted #19: Nick Hind - Not offered a contract for 2025, thanks Hindy! 26/8

[Lore]

Contract Status: Out of contract 2024
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 31, Rick Ross

 

[Zach Package]

Believe the list management term is ‘bye Felicia’. He offers this list nothing going forward and I never want to see him again, no composure, no smarts and shoddy kicking.

What the actual **** was that? I struggle to think of an Essendon footballer dishing up anything worse than that.

Nick, don’t make me tap the sign

 

[Happyskeret]

Do I think if every one has hit their ceiling would Hind be in our best 22……No! Do I think he is a list clogger?……..No! Because he will fight and scrap for his spot!!!!
So he is not a list clogger in that sense because I’m the long run he will teach players like Mass, Davey and Co that you don’t just get gifted games on potential you will have to at the very least fight like Hindy does.

 

[cAsEy_18]

Mass isn’t a bad sub option, but I think this guy is perfect.

Flexible/versatile. Flawed, but can really provide a spark in a variety of positions.

Eventually in a couple of weeks Cox into half back and Hind to sub id be for.

The one attribute he has apart from his quick leg speed is a lot of heart. A lot of people forget he was punching out Hob like numbers of plus 30 possessions in the seconds before he came into the ones.
I want to see Wanganeen do that before he gets selected he certainly made a good account of himself today (young Wangas) I would not be shocked if Hind got dropped and punched out another 30 plus possessions. He is showing the young fellas the path.

95 AFL fantasy points on the weekend not to shabby for a fringe player.

He looks to have lost a bit of pace (or maybe it looks that way with some Carlton quicks closing in on him). I'm hoping that doesn't leave him with just his heart.

I still thought he played pretty well. I think he has a bit of different role these days. Won’t be long though until the youngsters go past him.

 

[MiguelM]

He still has too many turnovers but overall ok.

Yeah he doesn’t seem to be able to iron that out of his game unfortunately.

 

[MiguelM]

Yeah, seems more his disposal by foot at pace. Lacks penetration.

More upside than downside though.

 

[Haychh]

One of those ones right on the borderline if we were losing I'd be calling for his head as he takes too many risks. Since we're winning I can appreciate him taking the game on.

Annoys the sh*t out of me but does enough nice things to get by.

 

[windyhill]

As previously said, you’ve gotta back the man in, a brilliant piece of play will be followed shortly by a monumental **** up, by a brilliant piece of play.

 

[srobbo]

Isn’t best 22, but your ideal depth player to call on. Won’t survive when Parish & Shiel are back.

 

[frodos gardener]

Even though he’s lost half a step, he was still the fastest man on the ground against the Blues. He’s got a bit left in him. Like most of our team now, he never stops trying and his field kicking isn’t bad either.

He was a lot better than Saad was I reckon.

 

[crackers65]

I agree that he’s not best 22, but good depth and always plays his harudest. He is the quickest of our current players that I have seen and he creates a bit of a buzz when he gets the ball. A bit like Stringer, is this going to be a package or a baggage highlight. I was pretty critical of him last year after the bench carry on with Rutten,
but in HINDsight that was almost understandable with the shitshow that we were.
If he can keep his pace he will still be a good player for us for a few years yet.

 

[DERO]

handy bloke to have waiting in the wings if he isn’t playing in the ones

 

[Kong]

I'd find it amusing to watch him ignore Scott the way he did Rutten.

 

[MattyB3150]

Hind has been in and out of the team all year. I feel like he is one of the only ones in the team that takes the game on. He can make mistakes but so does everyone else.

His good out weighs the bad and must stay in for the rest of the season.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

We look so much more dangerous when he's in the side and can run and carry. We've missed this since Saad left.

 

[TheUnicorn]

I'm not usually a fan but was in our top handful of players tonight IMO.

Yep. Good things happened when he took the game on.

Same last week against the Dogs, was the only one willing and capable of breaking lines, but was too late to little as he was sub. Our running game is our strength till we can keep up defensively.

I would have mass in for Kelly too.

 

[gunit_]

I haven't always been Hind's biggest fan but his run and carry and kicking last night was great all game

 

[eorl]

He plays much better when he uses the creative dinky little kicks rather than the ones where he just Saad dumps them
