Still can't footy.
Not sure if he has had 1 standout game. in a hundred.
Every time he gets the ball he puts the brakes on and dithers šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«
Speaking of putting the brakes on Omeara is terrible at this
He seems to crap himself and look backwards nearly every time

Not as bad as Hughes but he can be a momentum killer at times

Still donā€™t mind him in the side , he has some class and experience

Only , watched half the game yesterday ( had a most enjoyable time second half so glad I didnā€™t )
 
Wow, that's a bit rough. Not cooked, not out of form, not that others have gone past him, but shit. Pretty loyal player who played over 100 AFL games. Pretty easy taking potshots from your lounge chair.
The fact that he's played 100 games is more of an indictment on the FFC rather than a measure of Hughes as a player to be fair.
 
Ethan Hughes wasn't voted bravest player in the squad multiple times for no reason, he sets a physical example and his babies will be highly skilled wrecking balls. All the people still enjoying Freo footing in 20 years will be watching highlights of Ethan running back into backs, into Nathan Fyfe, into opponents and getting excited that Jr who is a weapon by foot is coming along.

Youā€™ll find Hughes types littered throughout AFL teams.
Theyā€™re a necessity for a well drilled defensive unit.

Often times being the best means being available. Thatā€™s a commodity.

Cox has been injured, Chapman as well over the years.

He may well be playing this week if Chapman doesnā€™t get up.
 
There may well be players who are better at football on our list, but I can guarantee you all that everyone who runs out with Ethan Hughes alongside them wouldn't have a problem with it. Exactly the type of bloke you want on your team not on the other one.
I would still prefer Chappy in the side than him though.

Name one quality game he's played

He's played plenty of quality games, namely accross 2019 and 2020. Even in the game vs Brisbane last year he was doing well and was noticeably missed when he came off injured.

Just because he's useless now doesn't erase that he's been a solid role player for us in the past.

Are you sitting with Randomisor on his lounge probably never kicked a footy in your life, sound familiar.

Unlike him, I have. Unlike him I don't constantly bag out the entire club. I'm just stating that Hughes over the past few seasons hasn't played great football at afl level. And I'm right
 
For all the hate Hughes gets, he has been serviceable and played his role for the team.

I think he would of done a better job than Worner on the weekend. Hughes actually defends, and doesn't get often beat 1 on 1 , not just waiting for intercepting marks. Biggest gripe most have against him is his slow decision making rebounding.

And that last part of your description of him makes it hard to select him at AFL level. Quick decision making is imperative.
