Fire in the belly?

Nick Hind​

Key stats: 23 disposals, five marks, three tackles

"It was great to see 'Hindy' come back and gain some confidence. His setups, organisation, communication and leadership were so valuable for our young backline. He really helped Garrett McDonagh and Alastair Lord, so it was great to have some experience down there. He was really aggressive, won a lot of the ball and used it well. He was clearly best on ground until his time was up - he was only allowed to play a half."

Did they not tag him or did he break it?

Didn't look like a tag to me honestly

 

[bacon buster]

That was more like it from him. He must have had more running bounces in the second half than he’s had all season before that.

 

[bombreys]

Was BOG for me

 

[Bjchan13]

Nice to see him hit some form. Just needs to maintain it now.

unsure on what to make of his game last night..

The whole team was given a bath so its hard to find positives in anyones game. In a loss like that the only positives are usually a young player showing a bit (Hobbs, Reid). Thought Hind tried hard to create and seems to have taken the earlier demotion on the chin.

Ahh so this is the quick flood the news cycle with resignings and off field scapegoat departures part of the year.

Close loss to Richmond before a run of wins to **** our Draft position at the end of the year before overpromising results, failing to meet them and sacking the coach mid 2023 season to follow.

Congrats I guess Nick.

So far we haven't re-signed anyone we shouldn't. Perkins and Hind are both guys we should re-sign, two years is about how long they should re-sign for.

Watch for Smith to play a good game late season then get an extension to know we're in serious trouble.

you need my avatar too

 

[Zach Package]

The ones that can be knocked off quickly, should be knocked off quickly. He hasn’t been as good as last year but he’s still firmly required.

In all seriousness I agree with the signing, and the length of the contract.

Happy to of extended Nick

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

oof. could be another one in the year too long camp.

He's 27 with no discernible injury history.

Settle down.

 

[Snake Charmer]

Hopefully on the cheap. i would of been happy with 1 year. He has his moments but his bad is bad

 

[eth-dog]

Would have given him 3 but 2's a good reward for effort.

 

[TheFrenchCut]

He plays like the only scene he has watched in film and/or TV history is the Ted Lasso "be a gold fish" scene.

 

[Yoda_]

Has returned to some consistent form the last few weeks and a big reason why we are going well. Highest metres gained from any player today

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Basically the tale of two seasons for Hind. First half was slow and unconfident but now seems to have regained his run and dash. 662 metres gained if you don't mind. Opens up the field so much for us.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Such a vital cog in our back 6. Laughable that he was dropped earlier in the year.
