Missed a trick here - kind of player St.Kilda would've paid massive overs for....

Congrats Hugo (where I go and I go where Hugoes and I'll be in Scotland before ye!)

Hugo is yet another example of posters and supporters being impatient calling for young players delistings.

Been a few of these this year.

Did he play more as a forward this week?

A rare shining light for this season.

Got some hops on him, and **** he cracks in these days

Nice little interview from Hugo reflecting on his season

Interesting that he mentioned that having more “hard” conversations is what played a big part of his improvement

Maybe the MC are a little harder inside the 4 walls compared to what we see on the outside

Interesting in that most recent interview Hugo said he wanted to improve by becoming a leader ….. I wonder if that signals that he will be in the leadership group next year?

Can be a leader without being in the leadership group. Had a good season though that’s for sure, hopefully continues it next season.

A good pick up at 46. Good work ethic and can see his commitment to improving.
Hugo’s a favourite of my daughter and he did a great 11th birthday video msg to her this year. She was stoked.

He needs a haircut. He looks ridiculous.

(Perhaps I'm jealous?)

Looks like Hugo's got a decent sense of humour

That port supporter needs to get sent a picture of Duursma dropping the premiership cup

I think yze will be grooming Hugo to be the next Lachie Whitfield

He hasn't got the kicking skills. Albeit, I think that Whitfield is over rated in that dep't, can be a real turnover merchant.

Looks like HRS has been training with the mids, might be doing that to improve his ground ball game.

I'd like to see him given licence to run off half back, bit like Weddle at the Hawks

 

[SouthernStripes]

One of our biggest improvers last year. Hope Hugo can keep on the upwards trajectory in 25

 

[Ralll]

Could play as a defensive role player on a wing or HBF if he continues to improve, but that is about his ceiling imo.

 

[Coach_Required]

Don't mind Hugo, someone has to replace McIntosh.

 

[Boston tiger]

Hugo can take a specky and as quick as anyone. Fingers crossed that he really kicks on.

Yeah he flew for some really nice marks last year but unfortunately didn’t really stick any of them

Think he’s capable of pulling off a mark of the year type grab if he manages to pluck one
