Liked Hugh a lot. Thanks for all your efforts, shinboner.

Same. Never quite hit his stride with us outside of a bit of a purple patch but he never once dropped his head, turned up whether training, VFL or seniors and put in every single time. Good leader, good role model IMO. Thanks.

Also really like Hugh. Sad to see him go.

At times felt like he wasn't given as much of a go as he deserved and could have been used to protect some of the younger mids. But the plan is obviously to go young and he wasn't going to be there when we move up the ladder.

Best of luck Hugh, appreciated your time here.

' Greenwood. Stayed a great clubman despite disappearing from the seniors. Thanks for your service mate

Absolute legend of a bloke. I reckon he deserves a proper send off next week.

Down in Tassie as well, lines up perfectly.

Strangely other blokes are played over youth for their nominal leadership but Hugh copped the short straw from the selectors.

Absolutely. Fitting that the game is in Tassie.

 

[Orange Peanut]

It's baffled me a bit how he wasn't being given games this year when we really could have used a mature leader. Sad that he goes out without a farewell game.
Thanks for everything Hugh.

 

[amaz199]

Sealed the win for us last year when he rucked against the Eagles after Xerri went down. Laid a huge tackle in the dying seconds to seal the game too.

Always be remembered for being a tough nut and inside machine.

Unless he gained a yard in the year since I last really saw him, then I think his footspeed is the issue. Primary position is in the guts where we have some established younger blokes and some second year players going pretty damn well, so any other position is going to expose his pace even worse.

The few games he did play weren't anything special either (other than his tackling).

It's a shame his career is ending this way. Lovely bloke, and gives his all.

 

[RightWingRoo]

Thank you for your always wholehearted efforts Hugh!

Unfortunately just too slow to play in the middle at AFL level now. But his experience and leadership, has been invaluable for the kids in the VFL.

 

[Roostorm]

Thank you Hugh…..brilliant acquisition for our club. Wonderful human magnificent clubman. Will miss seeing you out there…

Today was Hugh's last game.

Lynch and Hugh ….many journeys

 

[Duck the GOAT]

No doubt hes influenced the younger brigade and showed them the way. Should be proud to know his prints will be on our next flag.

 

[DuckYeah]

I actually dont think I have anything positive to say about this one? I mean, onya for retiring?

 

[SunnyBoner]

Well done Hugh. He is Noble’s only positive legacy at our club.

 

[roo blitz]

When we are calling out for experience and leadership plus the tackling aspects he brings to his game he should have been played more this year. Play him in in the final game I say for a proper send off. We dont have much else to play for at the moment to finish the year off now.

You obviously never listened to your mother

 

[DuckYeah]

You obviously never listened to your mother

He concussed George in a training drill.. he should have been let go last year but that damn trigger clause

 

[Lavy_Panther]

Great cultural piece, outstanding citizen thorough professional. Hopefully the work he’s doing with the W program keeps him around a little longer and he can work at the club in some capacity. Unconditionally gave it his all.
